The Best Real Estate Deal For Realtors
The annual average earning of a full time real estate in BC was quoted to
be just around $37,000. And, another report cited that less than 65% of the agents earned more than $75,000 a year in gross real estate commission. There are currently close to 14,000 real estate agents working in Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley and Chilliwack. These agents are paying between $5,000 to $10,000 a year in office expenses to be in business as real estate agents.
Home sales for the next 2 to 3 years are projected to stay at current level at best, or trend lower in the coming months. Major set-back in home sales could happen if Canada is exposed to external shocks from failing economies around the world. Real estate agents could experience a much slower market and doing less deals in 2012 and 2013. The chart here illustrate the declining home sales trend since 2005.
Naturally, it is a big deal when a "no-fee real estate company" like Team 3000 can provide BC Realtors can help these agents save thousands of dollars a year on office expenses. In essence, we provide "real estate processing" service to handle the real estate transactions for agents in British Columbia. The deal fee we charge is not much more than what current agents are paying to their brokerages.
There are no hidden costs or expenses when you join Team 3000 Realty. We simply offer a better option to real estate agents who may find our system more suitable to their needs. We provide management support, training, conveyance and home buyers and sellers leads to our agents.

Current Inventory - detached homes: around 3.9 months
- townhouses: around 5.8 months
- condos: around 5.3 months The spike up in new listings and lower sales for the month had resulted in the market easing up. Buyers are able to find a wider selection of homes as compared with the month before. The overall current list/sale ratio for
Vancouver West real estate at around 5 months is edging to a more balanced market. The supply of detached homes is still low at around 3.9 months inventory. If the pace of new listings continue at current level, the pressure on home prices going up is reduced.
Market Sentiment The year-over-year home prices for January 2010, showed significant price gains for detached homes and condos at over 20%. The townhouse price gain of 16.5% is less dramatic, but still very respectable.
The increase in the supply of
condos helped to ease the tight supply situation greatly. First time home buyers are active in this market segment, and they will continue to play a vital role in condo sales the next few months. The pending HST implementation in July 2010, and talks of higher interest rates in April may prompt more buyers to get into the market the next month or two.
