Toronto Real Estate Board Fees

This is a vast property database that spans Toronto and surrounding areas including Mississauga.

Listings are kept in the database as far back as twenty years, and include a great deal of information that is not available to the general public like number of times property has been on the market, and its selling prices.

As of this article the fee that a new sales person pays to have access to this database begins with a onetime fee of about $460, and at the time of registration a yearly membership of $802 (GST included), becomes due and payable on June 30th for the July 1st deadline.

Make sure you verify all costs, since they change annually.

The Ontario Real Estate Associations (OREA) main role is to provide standardized education to all Realtors.

The Canadian Real Estate Board (CREA) is the National oversight committee and has a number of roles and responsibilities that include the creation and maintenance of the CREA code of ethics and the protection of the intellectual property rights of the MLS.

The code is for the protection of registered real estate professionals nationwide as well as the general public.

The Toronto real estate board fee is the largest annual layout of money for the sales person, but other fees must be paid in order to practice real estate as a member of the board.

Each sales person must be insured, and the fee is about $195 and is due September 1st for coverage the same time the following year. That amount is paid to the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).

In addition, OREA and CREA fees are due each January 30 and are about $350 annually.

If you intend to practice outside of the Toronto Board then much of your costs to practice real estate decrease dramatically.

However, when deciding to practice within the Toronto Board, you will also have to keep in mind the fees associated with each real estate company like Coldwell Banker, Remax, Real Lepage or any other brokerage. For complete information visit the Toronto real estate board
