Joel Dyck, a REALTOR® with Real Broker SK Ltd. in Saskatoon, works with buyers across the city and looks specifically for the improvements public records miss, which matters as much to a buyer deciding what to offer as it does to a seller pricing a home.
A good buyer's agent should be willing to walk away from a bad deal on your behalf, know which neighbourhoods actually fit your budget and commute, and explain a home inspection result, typically $400 to $600, in plain language rather than jargon.
Ask any agent you are considering how they get paid and whether that changes their advice, before you sign anything. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
