How do I verify a real estate agent is licensed in Ontario?
Explore with AI
In Ontario, all real estate agents must be registered with RECO, the Real Estate Council of Ontario. RECO maintains a public search tool on its website where you can confirm any agent's current registration status, brokerage, and whether they have any discipline history. Do this before signing any buyer representation or listing agreement. For what else to evaluate when choosing, see what to look for when choosing a Mississauga agent.
A valid RECO registration is the legal minimum requirement. Beyond that, evaluate the agent's recent transaction history in your specific target area, their client reviews, and their communication approach. Registration tells you they are legal to practice, not that they are the right fit for your needs. Find a licensed real estate agent in Mississauga through our directory.
