A real estate agent is a fun and lucrative job with many opportunities to advance one’s career. To become a real estate agent, one must be at least eighteen years of age and have a Canadian High School Diploma or equivalent, and speak English. Each province in Canada is responsible for licensing real estate representatives in that province. However, there is a three-step process common to most, with a Board exam unique to each province. British Columbia will not grant a license to anyone with summary convictions until two years after restitution is made. Quebec will not issue a license to someone with a criminal offense in the prior five years. Check with your province of residence for specific local requirements. They can be found in most cases under the provincial Real Estate Commission or Council.
The first step is to complete the requirements for the Initial License. This must be completed within eighteen months. The program is available by correspondence or on-line. Phase one covers the benefits and limitations of a career in real estate, an outline of the requirements for registration as a real estate representative, an overview of the mathematics skills needed, and an indication of the specialties and career options. Phase two introduces the technical aspects of the profession and covers the statutory laws, rules and regulations governing transactions in real estate. Phase three gives a choice of two aspects of real estate; Residential and Industrial Commercial Investment (ICI).
The residential course is completed during eighty hours of classroom time. Practical aspects of real estate are presented through workshops covering the topics of acquiring listings, marketing, qualifying buyers, preparing and presenting offers. The ICI course requires eighty hours of classroom time. A wide variety of workshops cover topics including office, retail, industrial, multi-unit and vacant land practices.
The next step in becoming licensed is to complete a two-year articling period with a licensed broker. During these two years, one must complete three additional courses. Real Property Law is a mandatory course, with optional courses including Principals of Appraisal, Principals of Mortgage Finance, Principals of Property Management, or Real Estate Investment Analysis. There is also a mandatory Phase 3 course. One may renew a license after completing the articling stage and completing these courses.
To maintain a license, one must complete twenty-four hours of Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) every two years. Other opportunities to advance one’s career are available in Continuing Education Units (CEU). CEU courses offered include: Agency courses, Practical Approach to Agency, Agency for Profit, Agency for Practice, Dealing with Purchaser Agency in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, Disclosure of the Real Estate Profession, The Broker’s Toolkit: Standards and Compliance, Conflict Resolution Skills, Valuing Diversity; Increase Profits with Multi-cultural Clients, Housing Technology, and Technology for Profit.
If one wishes to become designated in a specialty, the Real Estate Institute of Canada offers several professional certification programs. These include certifications for property management, condominium management, appraisal specialist, and land planning and development.
Real Estate is a large and varied profession with many opportunities for specialization and advancement.
