Welcome to the 2nd edition of the 2023 OACIQ Public Exchange Forums
Meeting and discussing is essential!
The Organisme d'autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ) invites all those interested in real estate, including current or future homeowners, buyers or sellers, to an information and discussion forum.
You will be able to ask representatives of the real estate brokerage regulator all your questions, attend mini-conferences and discover the information and awareness tools made available to consumers by the OACIQ.
It is not necessary to have a current purchase or sale transaction and no solicitation will be made. This is a great opportunity to discuss with the OACIQ, which oversees real estate brokerage licensees and implements public protection measures.
