Buying Tips
The REALTOR® Commitment
You're trusting a REALTOR® with your most valuable possession — your home. Here's what that commitment means.
Highly trained
REALTOR® training is rigorous — candidates often fail the pre-registration courses, and those who pass master a diverse list of subjects from housing construction to family law.
Continuously trained
All licensed REALTORS® must take continuing education so their knowledge of legal issues, technology and more stays current.
Everything by the book
A licensed REALTOR® is registered under provincial laws governing exactly how real estate can be traded — your legal guarantee of professional behaviour.
An ethical businessperson
REALTORS® adhere to CREA's extensive Code of Ethics (and additional provincial codes where they apply). Your interests must always be put first.
Your dealings are insured
Provincial regulators sponsor consumer-protection programs that may require REALTORS® to carry Errors & Omissions insurance, and deposits are often insured too.
Opportunity for recourse & MLS® access
If you have concerns about a REALTOR®'s conduct, provincial regulators and your local board take them seriously and work quickly to resolve issues. REALTORS® also have access to the MLS® — the single most powerful tool for buying and selling a home.
