Royal LePage Survey of Realtors
Did you know a recent Royal LePage survey of 1,726 realtors found that 76% agree that the country’s real estate market is highly competitive? Phil Soper, CEO of Royal LePage says, “To state that there is a lack of competition in the Canadian real estate industry is simply incorrect. Every day, 100,000 men and women in the profession compete vigorously with each other and with unlicensed, unregulated alternatives.” In the survey, 86% of realtors are concerned that severe deregulation might erode standards of customer service and protection. More than 88% of respondents say they help clients avoid financial or transactional mistakes “very often” or “often.” For more information, go to http://www.royallepage.ca
