You are contradicting yourself and failing at basic logic. Ok...so your agent didnt get you a dollar over 'market price'. So he was of no use. If what you received was the 'market price', you would have received the same without a realtor. Im sorry, its not capitalism when realtor associations...

Well, an agent wouldnt help you there either. And if you think an agent is a security guard who will protect your house against an unruly prospective buyer, you are sadly mistaken. In fact, a real security guard will probably cost you much less than the $50k you will shell out to the lockbox...

Still not answered the question.

You didnt answer my question. You claim that your agent helped you get more than market value for your house. Yes or no?

There is no need to kill people who back out of deals. This is why you pay an actual expert - the lawyer. I have no problem paying top dollar for a good lawyer. I would be happy to pay 5% to lawyer and a flat fee to a lockbox opener. In your stupid analogy...you wont go directly to doctor, but...

Agents are on the take. 5%! And much more if you include phantom bidding. If phantom bidding was not an issue, the Federal govt wouldnt have taken steps to ban it and Real estate agents wouldn't be so upset about it going away.

This is good...but a very small %ge of market and only in BC/AB it seems. If agents are banned, services like these will dominate, which will be good for everyone.

If your buyer didnt overpay and paid the perfect market price - then what good was your agent? Either your agent helped you get much more than market price using shady tactics (which screwed your buyer) or they didnt (in which case, you paid 5% for nothing). Which is it? Your buyer overpaid and...

1. Over asking price means nothing. I can ask for 0 and get 1 million over asking price. 2. Nothing to be happy about - you potentially screwed a buyer and you will similarly get screwed when its your turn to buy.

Why stop there? Play a race or some other victim card too! You are the one who prefers Singapore to Canada.

Lol....more random 'nuances'....ok...I never mentioned politicians and compared to another country. Thats why I am not complaining and you are complaining. Think this is absurd? Well, thats how you sound. Also, I never said there is a regulation that forces me to hire an agent. Please quote me...

Lol....here we are...arguing over semantics again. You are complaining. I quoted your posts full of complaints. You can keep denying it. If you choose to invent your own meaning from words like 'complain' and 'force', I cant help you.

Then stop complaining LOL. You already lost!

Or maybe you are just not a very successful one LOL

Acting like a 5 years old and cry about Justin Trudeau and high housing prices won't help much. Either you accept the market reality, either you keep complaining forever.

Sure buddy, lets see you bring in Singapore style housing policy in first. Do something!

It is related because your response to any criticism is: no one forced you at gunpoint to buy a house. Well, thats the answer to your own complaints. No one is forcing you at gunpoint to move to Canada and then buy a house here. Therefore, your criticism is invalid.

Its misrepresentation, the agent is turning away buyers to maintain the cartel.

Lol....this you complaining about housing prices? Like you love to say - no one forced you to move to Canada. When something affects you, you want politicians to step in and control supply like in Singapore. But god forbid if someone criticizes your beloved agents.
