The Alliance for Canadian Real Estate Education (ACRE) and The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) will be launching a national competition law course for Canadian REALTORS: Competition Law & REALTORS.

This half-day competition law course, prepared by ACRE and CREA and aimed at Canadian real estate professionals, will provide an overview of Canadian competition law as it applies to organized real estate in Canada.

Some of the topics in the new competition compliance course will include: (i) how the criminal conspiracy, misleading advertising, price maintenance, deceptive telemarketing and abuse of dominance rules of the Competition Act apply to the real estate industry in Canada (ii) an overview of the recent amendments to the Competition Act and how they apply to Canadian real estate professionals, (iii) basic compliance guidelines (do’s and don’ts) for real estate agents, (iv) guidelines for real estate board and association meetings, (v) practical competition law case studies and (vi) Canadian competition law compliance resources.

This new national course, that is being designed by Competition Law Canada, is to be launched this spring.
