What should I make of a Saskatoon agent who has almost no online reviews but says they get everything by referral?

A thin online review count does not automatically mean a weak track record, since some agents build their business on repeat clients and referrals from lawyers and past sellers rather than review campaigns. The Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission licenses the agent, not the review platform, so licence standing matters at least as much as a star count.

Ask directly for a list of their last 10 closings with addresses and approximate dates, then call two or three of the named referral sources yourself rather than taking the claim at face value. An agent confident in their record hands this over without hesitation.

The Commission's public registry lets you confirm a licence is active and in good standing in a couple of minutes, which is a faster check than reading through a long review page anyway.
