BC Realtor sues seller for commission Canadian Real Estate Marketing Podcast

    • Marketing

A special mid-month episode because I just had to discuss the CBC story about the BC Realtor that's suing his seller for commission. This episode of the Canadian Real Estate Marketing Podcast veers dangerously close to rant territory but there IS a marketing lesson buried in there someplace.

The short version of the story is that a BC Realtor and his brokerage are suing their seller because the buyer didn't close on the sale. The seller was shocked to discover that BC's standard listing contract he'd signed states that "a real estate agent only needs a legally enforceable contract of sale to pursue commission."

You can read the full story on CBC's website...
