What happens when you go to a realtor for a house to rent?

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

My husband & I are looking to rent a house and are thinking about going to a realtor to aid in our search. What are the pros and cons.

Some Realtors specialize in this. Most do not think there is enough money involved to do this. But their pay comes from the landlord- you would not be paying.

How to access toronto real estate property data base that the realtors use?

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

not realtor.ca, but the one the realtors use to do research,
such as recent sale, sale price, and can search by area, and etc

Thank you
thanks for your answer malica

i do understand only realtor can access those information, but im also wondering if there is a subscription service that i can pay monthly to use that database.

or even, how do i become a realtor myself

You have to obtain a real estate license, and be hired by a broker, at that point you pay to join the real estate board, and you pay for access to the data base.

how to get started in commercial realty in Ontario?

i am about to write the final exam and then i will be looking for a sales job, but do most brokerages offer training? OREA courses don’t do much for you at all in terms of the reality of commercial realty representation, so i’m going to be needing a lot of hands-on training. thanks.

I imagine it works similar to the way it works in the US. In the US the individual brokerage would provide on the job training or some sort of mentor-ship, but commercial brokers are a great deal more picky about rookies coming into the business so if you don’t have any sales experience it will be tougher to find a good broker. Often there is continuing education apart what is necessary for licensing that is valued. Where I am from one such program is with CCIM (see link) which can add to your credibility to your commercial real estate peers, and clientele.

Just need ur thoughts as many as possible please don’t be rude try to understand. Thank you

Lee, I feel if there’s a possibility of "mental issues" with him, THIS should be your very first priority. Go see a Professional & get his/her opinion & diagnosis done & complete. It’s just possible this could be where much of your situations in your relationship are stemming from. IF so, he could easily be given the proper meds. to correct his problem & hopefully that would end or at least be a BIG help for you. I suggest you have that done & go from there. IF he’s been improving on other issues, you at least know he’s doing his best to make things the best he can for you both. I’m sure if you’re both working twds. the SAME goals, you just can make things happen for a future of happiness for you both…all the best to you, honey…:)
