Do You Really Need a Realtor?
Short answer? No.
You’re not legally required to work with a real estate agent to buy or sell a home in Ontario. But—just because you can go it alone, doesn’t mean you should.
The truth is, buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make… but you already knew that.
Here’s what working with a REALTOR® really gives you:
1. Access You Can’t Get on Your Own
From buyers to vendors, referrals to private listings—you’re tapping into an entire network of trusted professionals. We’ve built relationships and a reputation that unlock doors faster. When exposure matters (and it always does), a great agent gets you seen.
2. Negotiation That Nets You More
This is one of the most overlooked benefits of working with a pro. In fact, according to the National Association of REALTORS®, homes sold with the help of an agent go for $58,000 more on average than those sold privately (FSBO). That's because we know how to position your home, manage offers, and fight for your bottom line—without emotion clouding the process.
3. Guidance You Didn’t Know You Needed
While you’re envisioning cozy nights in the living room, we’re checking for cracks in the foundation. Literally. We’re trained to spot what others miss—whether it’s a potential issue or a hidden selling feature. And if you're selling? We know what buyers look for and how to make your property shine.
4. Marketing That Moves the Needle
REALTORS® have access to the MLS and REALTOR.ca—a platform that had 1.5 million visits per day in 2023 and over 5 million users searching specifically for agents. That’s the kind of reach you want.
But it doesn’t stop there. Today’s agents also offer strategic marketing services that often include professional staging, photography, videography, social media campaigns, and more—all designed to sell your home for more, faster.
It’s Not Just About Buying or Selling.
It’s About Making it Easier.
Less stress. Fewer surprises. More results.
Working with someone like Ken Boyd means less overwhelm and a trusted partner who goes above and beyond—every step of the way.
Thinking about making a move? Let’s talk goals. Because when you work with us, you don’t just get service. You get + More.
