Compliance & Consumer Protection (Ontario) 

  • Licensed & supervised: Services are delivered by Ontario‑licensed REALTORS® under International Realty Firm, Inc. (Brokerage #4799095). Oversight: Faiza Ahmed, Broker (RECO #4791581).
  • Verify licensing: Consumer protection first — make sure to verify any REALTOR® via RECO.
  • Written representation: We use a Buyer Representation Agreement (BRA) that explains duties, scope, and compensation in plain language.
  • Disclosure on multiple representation: If a dual/multiple representation scenario could arise, we present your options clearly so your advocacy is never diluted.
  • Not legal/financial advice: We coordinate your team but always recommend independent legal and financial counsel.

Why work with a Buyer Agent (not just any agent)

  • Exclusive representation – our duty is to you, the buyer. We flag issues, challenge pricing, and say “don’t buy this” when it’s the right call.
  • More homes to choose from – on‑market, pre‑market, new build, assignments, and private opportunities sourced through our network.
  • Offer strategy that wins – pricing models, clause engineering, and timing tactics that improve acceptance odds without overpaying.
  • Protection first – due‑diligence checklists, condition wording, and contingency planning to minimize risk.
  • Local intel – street‑by‑street trends, school zones, transit, and micro‑neighbourhood premiums across the GTA and Hamilton.

Where we help

Ontario‑wide service. If your municipality isn’t listed on our site yet, ask—chances are we cover it or will refer you to a vetted partner.

Transparent fees & how compensation works

Buyer‑agent compensation is negotiable and will be clearly set out in your Buyer Representation Agreement (BRA) before we work together. In many cases, the listing brokerage offers compensation to cooperating buyer brokerages; if not, we’ll agree on a simple, transparent plan so you’re never surprised.

Cashback eligibility: Where our brokerage actually receives a cooperating commission, eligible buyers may receive a documented cashback rebate (typically 1%–1.5%). Availability and amount depend on commission received, property type, and lender/insurer approval. Details are confirmed in writing in your BRA/REBATE Schedule.

No retainers. No junk fees. Just clarity.

Who we’re best for

  • Move‑up buyers needing to buy first/sell later (or vice‑versa) without getting stuck owning two homes.
  • First‑timers wanting patient education and a clear, repeatable process.
  • Investors/House‑hackers targeting cash‑flow, duplex/triplex, or laneway/garden‑suite potential.
  • Commuters & relocations balancing budget, lifestyle, and travel times.

Buyer Bill of Rights (Plain Language)

  • Full disclosure: We surface risks, comparable sales, and conflicts of interest—before you commit.
  • Independent advice: We recommend inspections, status reviews, and appraisals—even if it slows the deal.
  • Transparent pay: You’ll know exactly how we’re compensated, in writing, before we write an offer.
  • No pressure: You set the pace. If “don’t buy this” is the right call, we’ll say it.

FAQs — Buyer Agent, explained

Do I need a Buyer Representation Agreement?

It formalizes our fiduciary duties to you and outlines compensation. We review it together—plain language and no surprises—so you know exactly how we’re paid and what we commit to deliver.

What if the seller isn’t offering buyer agent compensation?

Then we’ll agree on a simple plan (often a flat or percentage fee) and negotiate concessions wherever possible so your net cost stays in check.

Can you represent both sides?

We prioritize exclusive buyer representation. If a multiple representation situation could arise, we’ll discuss your options and, if needed, refer you to an equally strong partner so your advocacy is never diluted.

How big should my deposit be?

Enough to signal strength without stretching your liquidity—typically a few percent of the purchase price, delivered within 24 hours of acceptance. We’ll advise based on the property and competition

What are typical closing costs?

Budget for land transfer tax (Toronto has a municipal layer), legal fees/disbursements, title insurance, home insurance, and adjustments. We’ll estimate all in costs up front.

Can you help with condos and status certificates?

Yes. We flag reserve fund health, special assessments, maintenance fee trajectories, and by law restrictions (pets, rentals, EV, renovations).
