Real estate professionals can help you buy or sell your condominium unit. Some professionals may have a practice that specializes in buying and selling condominiums (as opposed to other kinds of properties).  Interview a few different real estate professionals before hiring one. Consult the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's Questions to Ask a Real Estate Agent before your interviews. In Alberta, real estate professionals can work for the seller, the buyer or both. It is important to understand what kind of relationship you will have with your real estate professional. For more information about the different kinds of relationships that exist in Alberta, visit the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA). Real estate professionals can help you find a property that suits your needs and budget. They can also help you with filling out standard form agreements. However, real estate professionals cannot provide any services that require discretion or judgment, cannot give confidential advice, and cannot advocate on your behalf. All real estate professionals must enter into a written service agreement with you outlining the services they will be providing, their responsibilities, and their fees. Licensing Requirements All real estate professionals in Alberta must be licensed by the RECA. You can check a real estate professional’s licence status by searching RECA’s licensing database.
