Ian Watt: Hi good afternoon it's Ian Watt in Downtown
Vancouver. And less and less what were seeing now is for sale by owner. I
think as the market is cooled off people are starting to realize what
it means to hire a professional realtor. And just because you watched
HGTV and you watch all the home improvement shows and how to sell your
place. Preparing your home and you learn about staging and negotiating
and the sales process. It doesn't make you a realtor and that for the
same thing is I watch ER but I'm not gonna do your surgery and I'm not
gonna do my own surgery. Just because I watch a show doesn't mean that
I'm qualified to do it. So I think more than ever as the market has
changed from a seller's market into balance market or maybe even to a
buyer's market what we realizing now is that people are actually going
out there and spending a money on the realtor because people are
starting to see the value. My name is Ian Watt. You can always email me
at ianwatt@ianwatt.ca. Thank you very much and have a great day!
