If you're FSBO, then you'd have to make the efforts to market your property without the use of REW/MLS. Majority of buyers will head to those 2 websites to search for a home. Alternatively, you can offer a competitive Co-operative commission to prospective represented buyers. Unfortunate but that's the reality of things. Otherwise, to save on your commission costs, you could also enlist One Percent Realty.

Knowing what i know now, i would not use FSBO in major cities, its a circlejerk between realtors. Smaller or mid size city i would give it another go

My favorite part of the experience was getting phone calls from dozens of realtors saying they can sell my property 100% if i relist with them.
To which i replied, if your so sure you can sell it, then you should have no problem bringing a buyer, followed by crickets

Is your unit on MLS and all search engines? If yes, then you have done everything you can.

How many days on market?

Have you gone on zealty.ca and compared your unit price vs actual sold prices of similar units in last x months?

To find out why realtors avoid FSBO properties, just hire a realtor, tell them you are interested in x property (find fsbo properties), and then listen to the list of stupid shit that comes out of their mouths.

Our tenant asked for rent decrease. we did 1 month free if they live in another 11 months.
Honestly, the cost of moving is a pain so we didn't drop that much but don't do free rent for last month in future.

so in future, what we will do is this. STILL send inflation increase to tenant and THEN tell them we won't raise your rent if they stay for another year.,

Cause they took it for granted as we didn't increase; lost that bargaining chip.

whitev70r 08-27-2025 10:17 AM

wow, you're an incredibly good landlord ... 1 month free !! That's what? $2000? I have never heard of that .. one month free if you stay for a year more.

If tenant asked for rent decrease, could you have countered with no increase, stay the same rent as you are paying now? Are they paying more than avg?

I mean it's a hassle for you for sure to turnover a tenant but just as much of a hassle for them to pack and move somewhere else.

Anyone have a recommendation for an interior designer? Not looking to do anything fancy, but need a professional eye/input.

I'll DM with a couple - there's the lady who did my house originally and the one I hired to for the work to add in suites for my house.

Professional input, rice cooker and hot water boiler on kitchen counter. Assortment of free TNT, bank red wall calendar per room. Sprinkle random plants with spikey leaves per room. Red scrolls on exterior doors. Done??? Profit

I'm managing for someone so I don't make the call on this particular unit. I would normally tell them to kick rocks. My properties I'm still way below market (rented since 2018)... oh well...

Think about Brentwood and River Green in Richmond, You can easily walk down a few floors, pay the same rent and get 2 months free with free internet and get free parking. OR you can pay the same and get a corner unit.

ughhh these bitch ass realtors are so terrible and fugly.

There is a white guy who used to have a very angry looking realtor photo on ads. he looks like the face of domestic abuse.

Damn, why would they use that mousy, nerdy pic when she looks so much better in this pic. Her regular pic makes her look like a wimpy agent that can't get shit done whereas I'd let this one draw blood from me at Lifelabs or take my fried chicken order.

The power of makeup! :lol

And sometimes realtors use really old photos. For example, the Rimpy Hothi you see in ads is very different from what she looks like now.

Are all realtor's roid necks so fat they can't wear ties anymore hence the open collars all the time? I know ties aren't "fashionable" anymore but I can't stop seeing it now with realtor ads. Every. Single. One.

It’s so they can show you how fun and laid back they are! They are just like us and that’s why they have our best interests in mind!
