Do I Need a License to Sell Real Estate in Calgary, Alberta, as an Out-of-Province Realtor®?

Looking for a Calgary Realtor® to Help Your Client Buy a Property?

Yes, if you’re a Realtor® in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Regina, or another municipality outside of Alberta, then you do need a license to sell real estate in the province. The same goes for Alberta-based Realtors® looking to do deals elsewhere in Canada, as licenses are provincially registered and do not apply outside of the jurisdiction in which they were granted.

So then, how exactly do you get around this general rule? If you’re a real estate agent in Vancouver or Toronto, for example, how then can you help one of your local clients successfully navigate Calgary’s residential market?

You’ll need an agreement with an Alberta-based Realtor® to help. This type of agreement, often called a “referral program,” makes it easy to help your buyers find the best property for their needs by utilizing local knowledge and experience that an out-of-province real estate agent likely won’t have.

It is essential to find a Realtor® in Calgary to help you with your deals because unlicensed practicing can pose significant risks to your client and also to yourself. Penalties for operating in a province without property licensing requirements could include sanctions from your provincial real estate association and also significant fines.

Skip all the hassle and worry, and let us do the work for you!
