The Royal LePage Alliance Winnipeg REALTOR®
Commitment
You trust real estate offices in Winnipeg and their REALTORS® with your most valuable possession, your home. Winnipeg REALTORS® take this responsibility very seriously. Here’s what we promise you.
Your Winnipeg REALTORS® are highly trained.
REALTOR® training is so rigorous that candidates often fail the pre-registration courses. Those who do pass must master a long, diverse list of subjects ranging from housing construction to family law. At Royal LePage Alliance in Winnipeg, REALTORS® are encouraged to participate in real estate training programs for Winnipeg to enhance their knowledge and skills.
Your Winnipeg REALTORS® are continuously trained.
All Licensed Winnipeg REALTORS® must take continuing education courses to make sure their knowledge on subjects like legal issues and technology are up to date. Royal LePage Alliance in Winnipeg offers three different programs for real estate training in Winnipeg.
Your Winnipeg REALTORS® do everything by the book.
A licensed REALTOR® must be registered under provincial laws that govern exactly how Winnipeg real estate can and cannot be traded. These regulations are your legal guarantee of professional behavior.
Your Winnipeg REALTORS® are ethical businesspeople.
REALTORS® must adhere to the extensive Code of Ethics of the Canadian Real Estate Association. Several provinces have additional Codes of Ethics governing the behaviour of real estate professionals. Your interests must always be put first.
Your dealings with Winnipeg REALTORS® are insured.
For your peace of mind, provincial regulators sponsor consumer protection programs that may require, for instance, that REALTORS® maintain Errors and Omissions Insurance. Often deposits consumers make in real estate transactions are also insured under these programs.
Opportunity for recourse.
Should you have concerns about the professional behavior of a REALTOR®, provincial regulators and your local real estate board or association take these matters very seriously and work quickly to resolve any issues.
Your Winnipeg REALTORS® have access to the real estate board’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
The MLS system is the single most powerful tool for buying and selling a home. It is a complex information-sharing and cooperative marketing network created by REALTORS® to help consumers buy and sell homes.
