省長簡蕙芝在之前已經發表聲明嚴厲警告過BC省所有房地產經紀人不要做倒賣銷售合同 (Shadow Flipping) 等不道德和欺詐的行為。对于地产經紀代表賣家賣房，但事後又代表買家倒賣銷售合同這一不道德的行為，列治文的Metro Edge Realty壹品地產公司首先宣佈採取行動，禁止本公司經紀參與倒賣由本公司代理房屋的房產銷售合同的行為，并鼓励其他同行也这样做。
加拿大CBC電視臺為此向Metro Edge Realty壹品地產公司的CEO Kevin Lynch進行了採訪，

"Instead of saying 'let's let it go' and 'it's not a big deal,' well, it's a big deal to someone who lost," said Metro Edge Realty CEO Kevin Lynch. "So instead of waiting, we're being a proactive company."
“可能有人说倒卖合同那不是一个大不了的问题，但对于因此而賣了低價的屋主来说这是一个巨大的损失。”壹品地產的CEO Kevin Lynch說道：“與其說等等看，不如我們第一個站出來採取行動。”
Kevin Lynch, CEO of Metro Edge Realty says his company will not allow its real estate agents to engage in the practice of shadow flipping.
壹品地產的CEO Kevin Lynch說：“我們公司將不會允許我們的經紀參與倒賣房產銷售合同（由我們代理售出的房屋）。”
A ban on shadow flipping for one Metro Vancouver real estate agency
“This really isn’t a brand-new phenomenon,” said Kevin Lynch, CEO of Metro Edge Realty. “I remember when I first started I was over on the North Shore , the marketplace was blowing up and all the West Van guys were locking up property and flipping them.
“这並不是一個新的現象，”壹品地產的CEO Kevin Lynch說道：“我记得当我刚开始在北溫從事地產經紀工作時，在市场大熱的時候，很多經紀都利用倒賣銷售合同的手段去賺取更多的佣金。”
“ I always felt that’s not right. You’re taking the lift off these sellers where your licence dictates you should be representing them, not taking from them.”
“我一直觉得这是不对的。經紀应该盡職代表賣家，而不是从他們身上索取。”
A February investigation by the Globe and Mail showed some Vancouver realtors are using a mechanism called an assignment contract to flip residential properties several times before the deals close. Realtors interviewed for the story said the practice results in a price increase with each flip, with sellers often being unaware of the speculative nature of the deal.
環球郵報一個2月份的調查顯示，一些溫哥華房地產經紀會在交易最終完成前使用一種名為轉讓合同的手法來轉讓房產多次。接受採訪的房地產經紀說，每一次倒賣，價錢就會上升一次，而這往往是在賣家不知情的情況下發生的。
Following a public outcry, the provincial government tasked the Real Estate Council of BC, a disciplinary body, with investigating the practice. An advisory panel was struck on February 22 and will report their findings in late May.
在大眾的強烈反映下，省政府要求房地产委员會進行調查。一個獨立調查組已在2月22日成立并著手調查，並將於五月下旬公佈結果。
According to a guide on the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver’s website, the original seller should know about the assignment deal.
根據大温地產局的在線指南，最初的卖方有權知道任何轉讓合同的情況。
Metro Edge's policy states that the company's realtors cannot assist with or be part of any assignments the company has listed or sold. Lynch said he particularly wants to avoid the situation where two realtors working for the same real estate agency might be representing a seller and a buyer, respectively, in a deal where assignment contracts are being flipped and inflating the value of the property.
壹品地產現規定，本公司地产经纪不能參與或協助倒賣由公司代理銷售的房產的銷售合同。Kevin特別指出，他希望避免由同一公司的两个经纪分別代表卖方和买方進行倒賣銷售合同的交易。
“For me the best way to ensure that we hold ourselves to a higher standard and hold our agents to a higher standard is being really clear about the fact that we have no tolerance for internal shadow flipping,” he said.
“对我来说，最好的办法就是樹立更高的企業标准和經紀準則，來讓大家明白公司對本公司內的倒賣銷售合同的行為是無法容忍的。”他说道。
Kevin Lynch has worked in real estate for 26 years, Metro Edge is a new company and Lynch has ambitious plans to expand to seven offices around Metro Vancouver in 2016. He said he put the “no shadow flipping” policy in last week and has held training sessions for his realtors.
Kevin Lynch已经在房地产行業工作了26年，Kevin有著雄心勃勃的计划，將壹品地產在2016年拓展至覆蓋大溫的7間分公司。他说，他在上週已經宣佈了“无倒賣銷售合同”的公司規定，並對經紀進行了培訓。
In addition to Lynch’s memories of the West Vancouver market, the practice of flipping assignment contracts was also common in the pre-sales condo boom in the heady years before 2008.
Kevin回忆，除了西温市场，在2008年之前抄樓花也曾盛行一時。
Lynch said the practice is more common in commercial real estate, an area of the market with much savvier deal-makers than residential home owners. He believes shadow flipping in the residential market is being spurred by the extremely hot market that has emerged on the residential side over the past year. Detached home prices on Vancouver's west side rose 22% while east side detached home prices rose 31% over the course of 2015. “I’ve seen probably two or three similarly hot markets, but not so hot [as this one],” he said.
Kevin说这种做法在商业地产交易中更為常見，因為這比住宅市場更複雜多變。他认为倒賣銷售合同在住宅市場的大量出現是由於过去一年地產市場的過度活躍所造成的。相比2015年，溫西独立屋价格上涨了22％，溫東則上涨了31％。“我曾經歷過兩次到三次類似的房產市場牛市，但從沒有像現在這樣火熱，”Kevin说道。
While this is certainly not the first “surge” of money to come into the Vancouver real estate market from China and Hong Kong, Lynch said, offshore money is currently coming into the market at “a higher lever than I’ve seen before.”
這已不是第一次有來自中国大陆和香港的境外資金推高温哥华房地产市場，Kevin说，但目前境外资金正以更高的熱情追逐市场。

'Instead of waiting we're being a proactive company," says Metro Edge CEO Kevin Lynch
A Richmond-based real estate company is garnering attention by offering a no-shadow-flipping guarantee to its clients.
"Instead of saying 'let's let it go' and 'it's not a big deal,' well, it's a big deal to someone who lost," said Metro Edge Realty CEO Kevin Lynch. "So instead of waiting, we're being a proactive company."
Shadow flipping involves a real estate agent reselling a property numerous times at increasingly higher prices before finally closing the deal.
The agent collects multiple commissions by using an assignment clause in the real estate contract that allows for the flipping. Sellers lose out because they do not realize the highest potential price for their property, and buyers ultimately end up paying more.
The Real Estate Council of B.C. has appointed an independent advisory group to investigate the practice of shadow flipping. The review will examine how the council identifies and responds to alleged misconduct and whether conduct requirements are adequate and effectively enforced.
The independent panel is expected to provide an interim report by the beginning of April, and a full report with recommendations by the end of May.
