Navigating Real Estate: The Reality vs. The Hype

Understanding Real Estate Professionals in Ontario

Recent updates to Ontario’s real estate regulations have introduced flexibility in professional titles. Professionals can now refer to themselves as Sales Representatives or Brokers, with or without “Real Estate” as a prefix. CREA members may also use the designation REALTOR® or variations of these titles. Additionally, the term "real estate agent" is now permitted, which can add to the confusion for buyers and sellers alike. But one thing is clear: not all real estate professionals are the same.

In this evolving landscape, understanding who you’re working with is crucial. Here’s a breakdown of what these terms mean and why they’re important for your real estate journey:

Sales Representatives
Sales Representatives possess foundational industry education and are licensed to represent clients in buying or selling real estate. Many achieve remarkable success, managing high transaction volumes and making significant contributions to their communities.

Brokers
Brokers, like Geoff Harris, go beyond the basics. They undertake additional education and bring a broader perspective to the industry. In fact, fewer than 10% of Ontario agents hold a Broker license, highlighting their commitment to advanced industry knowledge. Brokers often provide leadership, oversee more day-to-day transactions, and maintain a sharper understanding of local pricing trends—all of which translate into superior client experiences and results.

REALTORS®
As members of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), REALTORS® adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. This ensures that clients receive trustworthy, transparent, and professional service every step of the way.

The Harris Homes & Co. Standard
At Harris Homes & Co., we exceed these standards to deliver unmatched expertise and service. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, our titles aren’t just credentials—they’re a reflection of our dedication to your success.
