Question 1

Do I have to pay my REALTOR® when I buy a home in BC?

Accepted Answer

In most residential resale transactions in British Columbia the seller pays the commission, which is then shared with the brokerage representing the buyer. Your own agreement with your agent sets out exactly what you owe and when, and it is worth reading before you sign it.
