Competition Law and REALTORS®: What You Say and Do Matters 6 pdp > 5 hrs

The Canadian real estate profession is highly competitive. Canadian real estate agents and brokers compete for clients and listings and new business models are consistently emerging. Because organized real estate involves a high level of cooperation and interaction between agents and brokers, who are in many cases direct competitors, competition law issues can arise. In addition, the real estate profession has been the subject of several Competition Bureau investigations in the past and there have recently been sweeping amendments made to the federal Competition Act. As such, it is prudent that Canadian real estate agents and brokers have a basic understanding of the key competition law rules that apply to organized real estate.

The topics covered in this course include:

> ethical considerations
