In real estate, “staying in your lane” means a licensee knowing the limits of their role as a licensee and not stepping outside of it. Licensees are not lawyers, accountants, or mortgage specialists, and giving advice outside their expertise can put consumers at risk. By focusing on what they are trained and authorized to do, and referring clients to the appropriate professionals when needed, licensees uphold the standards of professionalism by protecting the public interest, building consumer trust, and ensuring that clients receive accurate guidance from the right experts. Real estate licensees are trained and authorized to provide services related to trading in real estate as defined in the Real Estate Trading Act (the Act or RETA) - not to give legal, financial, or tax advice.
The Commission Board of Directors has approved forms changes as recommended by the Forms Committee, effective July 1, 2025. The majority of these changes are being made to coincide with the By-law revisions, which also takes effect on July 1, 2025.
