Selling a Home

At RECA, we regulate licensees to ensure that sellers are also protected throughout the selling process. Our role is to make sure that every licensee follows the rules, operates ethically, and puts your interests first. Whatever side of a licenced real estate transaction you’re on, RECA has your back.

Here’s how we help:

• Licensing and Regulation – RECA completes pre-licensing checks, including requiring licensees to submit a criminal record check, and establishes the training all real estate licensees must complete before they’re licensed. Their experience, knowledge, and expertise can help guide you through the process. RECA also provides an easy tool, called RECA ProCheck, to let you check the status of a licensee and make sure they have the right licence for your specific needs.
• Setting and Enforcing Industry Standards – RECA’s Industry Councils set clear expectations for how licensees should conduct themselves when working with consumers, emphasizing honesty, professionalism, and delivering quality service.
• Protecting Consumers – If a licensee breaks the rules, RECA reviews when a complaint is filed and takes action where needed. If something feels off or you have concerns, you have the right to file a complaint. RECA is here to make sure it’s handled fairly and properly.
• Providing Resources for Sellers – We offer guidance and tools to help you understand the selling process, recognize red flags, and make informed decisions.

Before listing your home, use RECA ProCheck to verify that your real estate licensee is properly licensed for your specific transaction. Your home is one of your biggest investments, and you deserve a licensee you can trust.
