Question 4

What is AgentMarket and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

AgentMarket is a Canadian-owned and operated platform that helps home buyers and sellers find the right real estate agent by comparing agent information packages. The process is simple: you fill out a 2-minute anonymous survey about your needs, either select agents yourself or let AgentMarket match you with up to five top local agents who specialize in your situation, and within 48 hours, you receive detailed info packages that you can compare side by side. Your identity remains private until YOU decide who to contact.

Question 5

How does anonymous comparison work?

Accepted Answer

When you submit your form, we create an anonymized profile that we share with qualified agents. They prepare proposals based on your needs without seeing your identity or contact information. You only reveal your contact details if and when you choose to connect with an agent.

Question 6

Is AgentMarket really free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, AgentMarket is completely free for home buyers and sellers to use, with no obligation to proceed with any agent. We make our revenue from agents who pay a small fee to join our platform.

Question 7

What kind of information will be included in the agent information packages?

Accepted Answer

For sellers, agent information packages include pricing strategies, commission rates, marketing plans, and information about the agent's experience and local knowledge. For buyers, proposals include the agent's neighborhood expertise, experience with similar clients, and their approach to helping you find and purchase a home.

Question 8

Can I select specific agents to receive proposals from?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can either browse and select specific agents yourself from the platform or let AgentMarket match you with up to five top local agents who specialize in your situation.

Question 9

Do I have to choose one of the agents who submits an info package?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. There's no obligation to proceed with any of the agents. You're free to review the info packages, connect with agents if you wish, and ultimately make your own decision with zero pressure.

Question 10

If I don't find an agent in my area, can I still use your service?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If we don't have agents immediately available in your specific area, we'll expand our search to find the best qualified local agents for you. It may take us 72 hours instead of our usual 48 hours, but we're committed to delivering up to 5 high-quality Agent Information Packages anywhere in British Columbia.

Question 11

How long does it take to receive proposals from agents?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive personalized information packages from agents within 48 hours of submitting your survey.

Question 12

Will agents spam me with calls and emails?

Accepted Answer

No. Your contact information remains private until you choose to reveal it. Agents cannot contact you unless you explicitly select their proposal and opt to connect with them. We never sell your information to third parties.

Question 13

How are agents selected for the AgentMarket platform?

Accepted Answer

We verify all agents before they can submit information packages and make sure they are licensed.

Question 14

How does AgentMarket benefit home sellers and home buyers?

Accepted Answer

For home sellers, AgentMarket helps you potentially secure better outcomes by comparing agents' listing strategies, marketing plans, and commission rates. You can see who has done their homework on your specific property and neighborhood, and identify agents who truly understand your property's potential. 
For home buyers, AgentMarket helps you find agents with expertise in your desired neighborhoods and experience working with buyers in similar situations. This can lead to finding your ideal property faster, avoiding potential pitfalls, and potentially negotiating a better purchase price. The right agent can make a significant difference in the home buying process, especially for first-time buyers or those relocating to a new area.

Question 15

What makes AgentMarket different from other real estate platforms?

Accepted Answer

AgentMarket stands apart by offering completely anonymous agent comparison. You stay in control of your privacy throughout the entire process. We act independently in the industry with no conflict of interest as we're not a brokerage and we don't sell your information. Our transparent platform lets you compare agents' strategies and rates side-by-side, and you decide when (or if) you want to reveal your identity to agents.

Question 16

What is implied agency and does it apply to AgentMarket?

Accepted Answer

Implied agency occurs when a real estate agent's actions lead a client to reasonably believe the agent is representing them, even without a formal agreement. This typically happens through direct interaction, providing personalized advice, or soliciting confidential information about motivations or finances.

AgentMarket operates differently. Our platform is an information exchange service where agents provide service overviews without any direct contact or representation. No agency relationship is created until you choose to connect with an agent outside our platform. Since there's no implied agency, no DORT (Disclosure of Representation in Trading Services) form is required when viewing agent information packages on AgentMarket.

This approach allows you to compare agents anonymously and make informed decisions without any commitment or pressure.

Question 17

How is AgentMarket different from other lead generation platforms?

Accepted Answer

We're not a lead generation platform. We don't sell contact information to multiple agents. Instead, we help you build a professional profile that showcases your expertise. Property owners browse agent profiles and choose who they want to work with based on demonstrated knowledge, not price competition.

Question 18

Do you take any commission or referral fees?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. You keep 100% of your commission. We charge a simple annual membership fee and that's it. No hidden fees, no commission sharing, no referral charges.

Question 19

How do property owners find my profile?

Accepted Answer

We drive traffic to agent profiles through SEO optimization, targeted Google and Bing campaigns, local PR initiatives, and social media promotion. Your profile is professionally optimized to rank well in search results and attract qualified prospects.

Question 20

What is included in the $450/year membership?

Accepted Answer

Your membership includes: professional SEO-optimized profile, access to client requests, targeted digital marketing campaigns, local PR and media opportunities, social media promotion, and all platform tools. You also have the opportunity to claim a team profile if you are part of a team and you have exclusive access the the pre-sale assignment market place, where you can view and post pre-sale assignment listings.

Question 21

Question 22

How quickly can I start receiving client inquiries?

Accepted Answer

Question 23

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are no long-term contracts. Your membership is annual, and you can choose not to renew. However, given the significant conference discount, we recommend taking advantage of this limited-time offer.

Question 24

What is implied agency and does it apply to AgentMarket?

Accepted Answer

Implied agency occurs when a real estate agent's actions lead a client to reasonably believe the agent is representing them, even without a formal agreement. This typically happens through direct interaction, providing personalized advice, or soliciting confidential information about motivations or finances.
