1 Real Estate Council Of Ontario Regulatory Digest Issue 2: July September 2013
2 The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) administers and enforces the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA 2002) and its regulations on behalf of the Ontario government. REBBA 2002 requires registered real estate professionals to conduct themselves and their businesses in a manner that protects consumers in real estate transactions. Failure to do so could lead to regulatory action. Further, with few exceptions, anyone who trades in real estate must be registered under REBBA Trading in real estate without the benefit of registration or an exemption could lead to prosecution under REBBA RECO s legal library RECO s mission is excellence in the delivery of regulatory services that protect the public interest and enhance consumer confidence in the real estate profession. RECO s vision is public trust and confidence in Ontario s real estate profession.

9 Mediation of Complaints Under certain circumstances, the Registrar may attempt to mediate or resolve a complaint. RECO does not have the authority to impose a resolution to monetary or contractual disputes, or to assess or award damages. Any exchange of money mentioned in the following summaries was agreed upon voluntarily by the complainant and respondent. Complainant: Buyer Respondent: Buyer s Representative Date of release: July 11, 2013 The buyer s representative agreed to give the buyer a $10,000 rebate upon the closing of the transaction for a new condominium. The buyer, believing the transaction was complete and commission paid, contacted the representative to get his rebate. His calls were not returned. The disbursement had not been made because the property was not registered, meaning the deal had not closed. The representative had explained the closing process, but there was still some confusion on the part of the buyer. The buyer contacted his lawyer to confirm that the transaction had not closed. The representative agreed to send the buyer information about the closing process and advise the buyer when the money would be disbursed. Complainant: Seller Respondent: Seller s Representative Date of release: August 28, 2013 After the seller listed his property, he was not happy with the service provided by the seller s representative. The seller s representative agreed to transfer the listing to another brokerage, conditional on the seller s representative being paid a referral fee by the new brokerage. The seller did not want the listing representative to be paid any referral fee because the new representative would be doing all the work. After the parties discussed the matter further, the seller signed the form to transfer the listing and for the listing representative to be paid a referral fee. Page 8 of 10
10 Complainant: Seller Respondent: Seller s Representative Date of release: September 5, 2013 The complainant and respondent had been personal friends for many years. They had a listing agreement in place and subsequently the complainant s wife took ill. When the complainant asked to have the listing cancelled the respondent left an unprofessional message on the complainant s voic . They also sent a similarly unprofessional text message. Both the respondent and the brokerage manager apologized to the complainant. The listing agreement was suspended. Complainant: Buyer Respondent: Buyer s Representative Date of release: September 5, 2013 The buyer signed a Buyer Representation Agreement (BRA) with a brokerage, in the belief that the sales representative could obtain quick approval of a mortgage for the buyer. After several unsuccessful attempts to purchase different properties without mortgage approval, the buyer requested that the brokerage cancel her BRA so she could work with another registrant, who guaranteed her mortgage approval. After reassessing her circumstances, the Buyer agreed to honour the BRA. Page 9 of 10
11 Complainant: Brokerage Y Respondent: Brokerage X Date of release: September 5, 2013 Brokerage X was refusing to allow its salespeople to accept the printed Schedule B (which outlines how the brokerage will handle a deposit, privacy, advertising, etc.) provided by Brokerage Y. Brokerage X claimed that the other brokerage was not allowed to indicate to a consumer that their deposit was being placed in an interestbearing trust account. In fact, REBBA 2002 requires brokerages to disclose in writing to persons depositing money, the interest rate the brokerage receives on the money, and what they will pay out in circumstances when deposits are held in an interest bearing Real Estate Trust Account. The brokerages worked with the local real estate board to ensure the correct and consistent interpretation of the relevant provisions of REBBA Complainant: Buyer s Representative Respondent: Seller s Representative Date of release: September 10, 2013 The buyer s offer was accepted by the seller, but the signatures on the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) appeared to be initials, not a proper signature. When asked to have the APS signed, the listing representative refused, claiming it was signed and was valid as is. The buyer decided not to proceed with the transaction because of the dispute over the APS signatures and a Mutual Release was sent to the listing brokerage, but the deposit was not released 10 days later. There had been a delay in acquiring the signatures of multiple sellers on the Mutual Release because they lived in different locations. The listing brokerage released the deposit to the buyer once it had all the seller signatures. Page 10 of 10
