Draft regulation: Title of residential condominium specialist
Consultation underway
A draft regulation has just been published to create a title of residential condominium specialist. A 45‑day public consultation period is now open: you may consult the Official Gazette of Québec (PDF).
-
Why this specialist title?
Co-ownership transactions are often more complex than other types of transactions. The goal is to:
- Better recognize real estate brokers who have specific expertise and training in residential co-ownership
- Help consumers identify these specialized professionals more easily
-
Who could obtain this title?
- Residential real estate brokers
- Real estate brokers who hold both residential and commercial rights to practise
-
What would the requirements be?
The draft regulation provides for the following:
- A mandatory training activity specific to residential co-ownership
- A mandatory practical experience in co-ownership transactions
- Penalties (PDF) for unauthorized use of the title
-
And what next?
- The consultation ends in 45 days
- The government will then decide whether to adopt the regulation, with or without amendments
- New information will be provided as it becomes available
Important to know
- It would not be mandatory to hold this title to engage in residential co-ownership transactions. A broker who does not hold this title could therefore continue to practise as usual
- However, the specialist title would primarily be used to showcase more advanced expertise that the broker could then promote to the public
- Reference number
- 300402
