Technology has been a blessing and a curse. To ensure that you are working with a legitimate Real Estate Agent, please go to the correct and appropriate regulatory department - British Columbia Financial Services Authority - to verify that your Realtor's officially registered. You can also verify the authentic and correct contact information of your Real Estate Agent so you won't fall prey to scam.
