Working With A Realtor® Brochure

Ideally we will be covering this at the earliest opportunity since through the process of working with a realtor you are likely to share some information which is private.  

What it is: A document that describes the relationship you as a buyer, seller, or any interested party must acknowledge receiving, reading, and understanding. It details the different relationships clients and realtors can have as well as the duties and responsibilities of each party. It also discloses to the buyer/seller what private information is collected and how it may be used.  

What it isn’t: It is NOT a contract. It does not obligate you to work with that realtor nor does it bind you in any way to having a relationship with that realtor. It does not obligate you to buy/sell anything.

It is merely an informative brochure which you must sign prior to the presentation of any contract (listing, purchase, or lease) and an acknowledgement that you have received, read, and understood the contents of that brochure.

All parties to a Real Estate transaction must comply with FINTRAC Guidelines

On June 23rd, 2008 new federal money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulations came into effect that require real estate agents and brokers to collect personal identification information from buyers and sellers.Your REALTOR® requires this identification information to comply with the law. It is the federal Proceeds of Crime(Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) that requires financial institutions and real estate agents,among other professionals and services covered by the legislation, to identify customers who conduct financial transactions. These include depositing funds or buying and selling real estate. The Act also requires real estate agents to keep these identification records for five years.
