Working with other real estate professionals is part of daily business — but how you work with others matters. REALTORS® must uphold professionalism not just with clients, but also when interacting with colleagues and competitors, and avoid discussions or actions that could violate the Federal Competition Act.
The Canadian Real Estate Association’s video, Doing Business with Competitors, offers practical guidance on what to steer clear of, like price fixing, group boycotts, and market allocation, and reminds agents to always act independently and in their clients’ best interests.
Staying transparent and compliant helps protect your business as well as the trust home buyers and sellers place in our profession.
