Brokers are legally authorized to receive commissions and are bound by the Code of Ethics under RESA.

Question 3

What are the benefits of working with an experienced broker?

Experienced brokers bring years of market knowledge, established networks, and proven negotiation skills. They've navigated various market conditions and can provide insights from handling diverse transactions. Their track record often includes relationships with developers, banks, and other industry professionals that can benefit your transaction.

Question 4

Do brokers licensed before 2017 have different qualifications?

Brokers licensed before May 2017 were not required to hold a BS Real Estate Management degree. However, they passed the same PRC board examination and are equally licensed professionals under RESA.
