How many annoying calls are you getting?Our clients are telling us that real estate agents have stepped up the calling. It seems some of them are subscribing to a service that accumulates information from private sale websites and newspaper ads so they don't have to "hunt" for their "leads".
How do you, a Canadian citizen, stop these annoying calls from happening? Well to start, get yourself signed up on the National Do Not Call List (DNCL). Your number appears on the list within 24 hours but realtors do have 31 days to "update their list". If you get a call from any agents (or other unwanted solicitors) in the first 31 days simply tell them you are registered on the do not call list and that if they call again you will file a complaint.
Make sure you write down their name, number, brokerage and time they called. If they call back the next step would be to file a complaint with their brokerage and the local real estate board (as well as the DNCL)regarding their lack of compliance with the the program.
Here is an example of the realtor mentality and getting your listing.
The one thing Steve said that makes sense is making sure you ask anyone that comes into your house if they are pre-approved for a mortgage. If their not, tell them to sign up for PropertyGuys.com Winners Circle and get Canada's best mortgage rate. Today the rate for a 5 year fixed mortgage is at 3.45%!

Wow. I had to turn on the a/c because of all the hot air that was just blown at me from this Joe 'YouTube' Schmo! For the vast majority of agents the only prequalifying they do with buyers is, "What time would you like to view the home?"
