Should I interview multiple listing agents before picking one in Saskatoon?

Yes. Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission rules require every agent's commission and services to be set out in a written listing agreement, so interviewing more than one lets you compare that agreement, not just a personality, before you sign. A Saskatoon-specific agent should walk in already knowing comparable sales on your street.

The most useful question is how each agent would price your specific home, not the city in general. An agent quoting the Saskatoon benchmark of $444,700 without adjusting for your neighbourhood, your lot and your improvements is giving you a citywide average, not a valuation of your house.

Ask each candidate what they do differently for a home with unpermitted work or decades of updates, since that is where online tools and generic pricing fall short. A hand-reviewed walkthrough that documents the actual condition should produce a materially different number than a desk estimate.

Commission itself is negotiable and often tiered, a higher rate on the first portion of the price and a lower rate on the balance, so it is a fair question to raise directly with each agent rather than assume it is fixed. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.

Still have a question?

Ask Joel directly. No form, no obligation, and a real answer even when the answer is that now is not the time to sell.
