ByTheOwner.com... WHAT THEY’RE HIDING FROM YOU!
The numerous statistics on the ByTheOwner.com site give the impression that it is easy to sell on one’s own, and that all homes sold on their site have been so without the help of a real estate professional! It's just that they forgot to mention a few small details...
Did you know that...
- ByTheOwner was recently fined for false advertising for having suggested that it was authorized to carry on business as broker or realtor without holding a certificate from the ACAIQ, thus wanting to convince its customers that they were protected by the ethics code if a problem occurs. Ref : Le soleil 27 juin 2009.
- ByTheOwner uses the services of a realtor as a COACH for its customers, but this service is not protected by the real estate brokerage compensation fund. This information would make your buyers run away since they would not have legal protection in case of problems. This fund provides protection to those who deal directly with a real estate agent. Ref : www.indemnisation.org/en/index.shtml
- By selling with an agent, you are protected by a code of ethics and standards of professional conduct, which provide assurance of professionalism and the best service possible, which is not the case with ByTheOwner.
- The majority of sales without agents terminate in court. With an agent, you are protected and he will be on your side in case of dispute even after the sale of your property, which is not the case with ByTheOwner.
- Many sellers eventually entrust the sale of their property to a realtor and when sold, ByTheOwner displays on its website that these properties were sold without agents.
