Why You Need a Professional Buyer’s Agent in Ontario: 4 Reasons That Matter
TRESA changed the game — here’s what it means for you ↓
A lot of buyers think they don’t need an agent—they can browse listings online, attend open houses, and figure it out. But Ontario’s TRESA Phase 2 changed the legal landscape significantly. Today, every buyer walking into a real estate transaction is either a “client” with full legal protection or a “self-represented party” with none. That distinction matters more than most people realize. Here are 4 reasons why working with a professional buyer’s agent is one of the smartest decisions you can make.
Under TRESA, a buyer without a BRA has zero fiduciary protection. The listing agent’s job is to get the best deal for the seller—not you. In a transaction involving hundreds of thousands of dollars, going unrepresented is one of the riskiest moves you can make.

Before You Dig in an Ontario Backyard: Who Each Party Is in the Locate System, and the One Set of Lines No One Has to Mark
Before you dig in an Ontario backyard — a fence post, a tree, a garden bed — the law casts you as the “excavator” and Ontario One Call as the corporation that relays your free locate request to the members who own the buried lines. Here is who each party is, what each one must do and by when, the preconditions in s.10 before a shovel goes in, and the one set of lines — your own private wiring — that the statute does not require anyone to mark.
