How do I verify a real estate agent is licensed in Alberta?
Explore with AI
All real estate agents in Alberta must be licensed through RECA, the Real Estate Council of Alberta. You can check whether an agent is currently licensed by visiting the RECA website and searching their name. This step also helps clarify the difference between a realtor and a licensed real estate agent in Alberta.
The search confirms whether they hold an active licence, which brokerage they work for, and whether there is any disciplinary history. This quick check is worth doing before you agree to work with anyone. If someone is not in the RECA registry, do not work with them — practicing real estate without a licence in Alberta is illegal.
