In a pot grow-op, please let me know what the broker's responsability is anyway?
I have seen such an operation just after a police intervention and it can be disturbing to ind out that this can be going on in your own neighbourhood.
I for one followed a Canadian home inspector training seminar on grow-ops and meth labs!
I am certain that the GMREB does not recommend that we as brokers refuse to list properties?
At time of sale, we are to advise the buyer that the property be inspected by a certified home inspector and only after the inspection has been carried out, will the situation will be assessed.
Grow-ops and meth labs are illegal and we as brokers understand this very well.
Brokers should not go on a witch-hunt for grow-ops.
The real effects on a property are real, chemical fertilizer odours remain, holes in floors can be hidden underneath carpetting, ceilings and vapor barriers may have been compromized, mold can get behind walls that may eventually need to be ripped out, traces that electricity service has often bootlegged are often discovered. Such homes are often rented out and operated by tennants, roof & attic insulation can be contaminated with mold and may have to be removed, bad ventilation in attic, strong pot odours from exhausts.
Because of this, the property can depreciate greatly and it can be pointed out that homes with unfinished basements are often seeked.
This being said, we must remember that brokers are not secret police, brokers cannot force sellers to declare if they do not want to!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my perception of the broker's position in this matter.

Note from the GMREB:
The issue of the broker’s responsibility will be addressed in an upcoming video in which we interview a specialist from the OACIQ. This video will be published in approximately 4 weeks or so.

I'm a French immigrant and I learned English when we moved to Canada.
Can't believe they had to hire an interpreter.
