Group promises reforms to protect buyers in B.C. real estate market
– canadianbusiness.com
VANCOUVER – An advisory group looking at allegations made against British Columbia’s real estate industry says it expects to make recommendations that include bigger penalties for those who breach the law and a simpler complaint process for consumers.
In a progress report submitted to the Real Estate Council of British Columbia, the group says it also expects to suggest limiting the ability of real estate agents to represent both buyers and sellers in the same transactions.
The advisory group chaired by real estate superintendent Carolyn Rogers was appointed by the council in February to improve consumer protection and strengthen public confidence in the industry.
The progress report released Tuesday says it expects to suggest giving the council more enforcement tools, such as requiring all contract assignments to be reported directly to the council.
