New Resources for REALTORS® to Understand Canada’s Competition Act
Four free informational videos now available on the CREA Learning Hub.
While complying with Canada’s Competition Act may not be the most exciting part of being a REALTOR®, its crucial that you do.
The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has recently produced four new videos to help REALTOR® members understand how the Competition Act applies to them. Available at no cost via the CREA Learning Hub, these videos are available in both English and French.
The four videos available are:
- Setting Your Prices
- Misleading Advertising
- Doing Business with Competitors
- Collusion and Conspiracy
Every REALTOR®, from the most experienced to our newest members, can benefit from refreshing their obligations under the Competition Act.
