PLEDGE OF COMPETITION
 Member Boards
and Associations of the Canadian Real Estate Association
support free and open competition. We believe
in the principles embodied in the Competition Act of Canada.
Therefore we adhere to a Code of Conduct which includes
the following standards:
- Commission rates or fees members
charge for services offered to the public, and the division
of those fees among cooperating
members, are solely the choice of those providing the services.
- A brokerage may offer any variety of services e.g. exclusive,
open, MLS® listings etc. Boards and Real Estate Associations
accept MLS® listings regardless of the price, commission
rates or fees, or the division thereof.
- Advertising by
members and non-members is subject to the discretion of
the individual, as long as it is honest and lawful.
We encourage creative, competitive choice in the services advertised to
the public.
- The business relationships between broker members,
their salespersons and non-members is theirs to determine.
With regard to
Board and Association membership, members may choose for themselves
to work full or part time, as long as they remain available
to serve the public on a regular basis and provided provincial
enabling legislation does not otherwise authorize a limitation
of such choice.
- All members are required to meet uniform
and reasonable financial and educational standards. They
are required to demonstrate
integrity and character necessary to protect the public.
By using the MLS® and REALTOR trademarks, all member
Boards and Associations of the Canadian Real Estate Association
proclaim
adherence to these principles, designed to preserve free
and open competition.
