The Prepared Buyer Program
Your groundwork pays
at closing.
The IslandSold platform gives buyers direct access to the same data and tools that used to live only on an agent’s desk. When you’ve done that work — when you’ve found the property, confirmed your financing, and you’re ready to write — the Prepared Buyer Program is how that preparation pays off at closing.
IslandSold was built so you could arrive ready.
We Built This for You
The industry used to require buyers
to depend on their agent for everything.
We thought that was backwards.
IslandSold gives buyers direct access to the same professional-grade tools that used to live only on an agent’s desk. When you arrive ready, it means the platform did its job.
Market Analytics
Real-time VREB and VIREB data. Know exactly what the market is doing before you move.
Neighbourhood Intelligence
Deep-dive community guides from Oak Bay to Gabriola. Actual data — not marketing copy.
Street-Level Reports
See what's selling and what's sitting, street by street. The same view your agent has.
Development Potential Tool
Understand what a property can become under Bill 44, SSMUH, and current zoning — before you offer.
Buyer's Readiness Assessment
Know exactly where you stand before you engage. The same assessment that qualifies you for the Premium.
Pre-MLS Alert Network
Properties before they hit Realtor.ca. Available only to Prepared Buyer Program members.
“The industry is changing. Buyers deserve better tools, better information, and a better deal at closing. The Prepared Buyer Program is our commitment to that future.”
— Dallas King · IslandSold
The Exchange
“This isn’t a concession.
It’s a recognition.”
A Typical Buyer Needs
You’re Arriving With
That’s 30–40 hours you’ve given back.
The Prepared Buyer’s Premium returns that value to you at closing.
“Your preparation has value. We return it.”
The Professional Exchange
Your preparation has professional value. This program returns it.
A significant portion of what a buyer’s agent typically does has nothing to do with finding a property or negotiating an offer. It’s education — explaining neighbourhoods, walking through the financing process, helping buyers define what they’re actually looking for. That work has real professional value. It also takes time. When a buyer arrives having already done that work, something changes.
What you’ve invested
You have your financing confirmed. You’ve found a specific property and seen it in person. You know what you want, and this is it. You haven’t asked Dallas to show you thirty properties to define your criteria — you’ve done that work yourself. That investment is real, and it deserves recognition.
What stays the same
Dallas’s professional commitment to you is unchanged. The negotiation skill, the market knowledge, the offer-night advocacy, the fiduciary duty to act in your interests exclusively — none of that is reduced. A Prepared Buyer receives the same representation as any client. The Premium is not a reduction in service. It is a recognition of preparation.
The exchange
The time you’ve given back has value in the transaction. The Prepared Buyer’s Premium is how that value is returned — confirmed in writing before your first offer, flowing through the brokerage trust account at closing. This is what a sophisticated buyer arrangement looks like.
The program doesn’t offer less. It recognises more.
The Prepared Buyer’s Premium
What is the Prepared Buyer’s Premium?
When you purchase through the Prepared Buyer Program, Dallas retains 1% of the purchase price as his fee. The remainder of the cooperating commission — typically the difference between 1% and what the listing offers — is returned to you at closing as the Prepared Buyer’s Premium.
At current market commission structures, your Premium depends on what you purchase. Enter your target price to see an estimate.
Your estimated Prepared Buyer’s Premium
$5,750
* Estimated based on typical cooperating commission structures. Actual Premium confirmed per transaction prior to your first offer.
The Premium is confirmed in writing before you write your first offer — so you know exactly what you’re getting before you’re committed to anything. It’s applied at closing and flows through the brokerage trust account. It doesn’t affect your financing, your mortgage, or your negotiating position.
Premium amount depends on cooperating commission offered by the listing brokerage. Confirmed per transaction in the Disclosure of Expected Remuneration. Subject to brokerage approval.
What You Get
Beyond the Premium
Pre-MLS Property Alerts
Coming-soon and off-market properties sent to you before they hit public search.
Same-Day Showing Priority
When the right property lists, offer-ready buyers move first. We clear the schedule for you.
Offer-Night Availability
Every clause, every competing scenario, walked through in real time. You'll never write blind.
Capped Registrations
Small program. Full attention. Direct access to Dallas — not an assistant, not a team member.
The Reciprocal
This program works because
both sides are committed.
We keep the program small so it delivers. Three things tell us you’re serious — and serious buyers deserve serious service.
A valid mortgage pre-approval (not pre-qualification)
in hand before we write an offer
One agent, one transaction — you’re working with Dallas exclusively on this property.
No parallel conversations with other agents or brokerages.
A specific property in mind — you’ve found the one you want to write on, or you’re actively close.
This program is not for exploratory searches.
Before You Apply
This program is built for a specific moment.
The Prepared Buyer Program works because both sides arrive committed. It is not a general buyer representation service, and it is not for every stage of the buying process. Here is an honest picture of who it is and is not designed for.
