The risk for a buyer who is particular is an agent who runs out of patience before the buyer does, or who narrows the search too early to a few listings that mostly fit. A wider search and more showings cost an agent time, and a good one treats that as part of the job.
Joel Dyck works with Saskatoon buyers on their own timeline and keeps looking as long as it takes to find a home that actually fits, not just one that is available.
