Buyer representation and professional roles vary across Canada. When the differences are unclear, buyers can spend time comparing the wrong things or agree to support that does not fit the decision.
You are not expected to arrive knowing how every professional role or agreement works. Ask what services are included, what you may owe, how long the agreement lasts, what can end it, who handles each task, and when a lawyer, lender, inspector, appraiser, insurer, accountant, or other specialist should be involved.
