Toronto, just like the Canadian real estate industry in general, has three tiers of regulation and organisation of real estate brokers. These are the Board level, Provincial level, and the Federal level. Toronto (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board) is a provincial organisation that is governed by both CREA (Canadian Real Estate Association), a federal organisation, and RECO (Real Estate Council of Ontario).
It can be determined that there was unequal brokerage in Canada, with a year of history of real estate sales and repeat sales. Analysts like Re/Max release statistics of the number of units sold every month, average selling prices, and more.
This paper is going to review some of the general information on what makes a good real estate company but a bad real estate firm, and information regarding the best real estate companies in Canada.
