A relocating buyer depends more heavily on the agent's eyes than a local buyer does, so ask specifically how they handle a showing when you cannot attend: a recorded video walkthrough, a same-day call afterward, and photos of anything an online listing would not show, like foundation cracks or a dated furnace.
Financing from another province adds a step, since your lender still needs a Saskatchewan lawyer, typically $800 to $1,500 in fees, to close through Information Services Corporation and register title, so an agent used to out-of-province buyers already has a short list of lawyers and inspectors who work well by phone and email.
The agent who over-communicates in writing, calls after every showing and sends video rather than a listing link is the one who protects a buyer who cannot be there. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
