Realtors in Canada are not in favour of the rules governing the real estate market being removed or deregulated Even though MLS has proposed amendments to try and improve the property industry, a recent poll has shown that most of those surveyed are against it. There are many distinct types of listings within MLS and the concern surrounds which of those listings should mainly be dealt with by accredited specialists. The common belief amongst agents is that customer service and safeguards set up to protect a customer, are going to decline if there is an influx of amateur service providers. Agents disagree the real estate brokerage climate in Canada is not competitive: 76.1% see it as highly competitive and further 19.2% as competitive. Another part to the survey looked at what services real estate specialists provided to the buyers and sellers. There were many answers given, but the main three items were: Providing a full brokerage service, avoiding preventable delays and looking after the consumer's financial welfare. Hardly 0.6% of polled agents said, they never helped a client avoid financial or transactional errors. More than half of those who took part helped clients very often, with just over 37% saying they helped often. When looking at the market side of their responsibilities, the survey showed that agents were progressive in this area. Some of the ways agents market properties are through MLS Toronto, open property, websites including their own and advertising properties locally. Lastly, the question about experience and continued education revealed that agents have been members of Royal LePage for 15.5 years on average and almost 90% of them participate on formal conferences, seminars or courses one to four times a year. The main website of Royal LePage Real Estate Advisors has the full information of the census that was carried out in April 2010.
