A Commercial REALTOR® who is a CCC member must abide by a high standard of professional conduct and a strict Code of Ethics, optimizing the performance and service the public has a right to expect. A commercial REALTOR® will know comparable prices, neighborhood trends and commercial market conditions.

Commercial REALTORS® have access to the Multiple Listing Service®, Canada's most powerful real estate marketing system. They also have access to post listings on ICX.CA, the national web site for commercial property listings in Canada. A commercial REALTOR® is also committed to ongoing education to increase competence and effectiveness in real estate trading.

Trust is a commercial REALTOR®'s most prized possession. They work hard to earn it, and even harder to keep it. Whether you're buying or selling, your commercial REALTOR® will keep you informed of developments in your transaction, and be there for you the moment you need help. From marketing, financing, selection and negotiation to pricing, inspection and closing, a commercial REALTOR® can offer you a wide range of expertise.
