When dealing with a posting you have to do your due diligence if you are working for the buyer. Be aware that even though the listing salesperson is supposed to make sure the listing is correct and has done a Fintrac sheet and checked the mortgage, they may not have.
My client purchased a condo and on the listing it stated that the condo fees included utilities. Fortunately my client asked the Seller if utilities were included and was told no. This could have caused problems if the lawyer didn't catch it when looking over the Status documents.
Also on your offer you should make sure on the signing page in the fine print that the commission is paid to the cooperating Broker, not the Selling broker.
Also it would be prudent get the Fintrac form filled out with the Seller's information and also have the mortgage checked to make sure it closes and you get paid.
