How do I verify a real estate agent is licensed in Alberta?
Explore with AI
In Alberta, all real estate agents must be licensed by the Real Estate Council of Alberta, known as RECA. RECA maintains a public licence search on its website where you can confirm any agent's current status, brokerage affiliation, and licence history. Do this before signing any representation agreement. For what else to evaluate when choosing an agent, see what to look for when choosing an Edmonton agent.
A valid RECA licence is the legal minimum. Beyond that, evaluate the agent's recent sales in your target area, their client reviews, and their communication style. Licensing tells you they are legal to practice, not that they are the right fit for your specific situation. Find a licensed real estate agent in Edmonton through our directory.
