All real estate agents working in Hamilton must be registered with RECO, the Real Estate Council of Ontario. You can check any agent's registration by visiting the RECO website and searching their name. This step also helps clarify the difference between a realtor and a licensed real estate agent in Ontario.
The results show whether they hold an active registration, which brokerage they work for, and any disciplinary history. This check takes less than five minutes and is worth doing before you agree to work with anyone. If someone is not in the RECO registry, do not proceed with them. Search for licensed real estate agents in Hamilton to find registered professionals.
