What does RECO do in the registration process?

In the registration process, RECO plays a critical role by assessing applications to determine the suitability of individuals or entities seeking registration. This assessment includes evaluating the qualifications, education, and professional conduct of applicants to ensure that they meet the necessary standards to operate within the real estate industry in Ontario. RECO's goal is to protect consumers and maintain a high level of professionalism in the real estate sector by ensuring that only qualified individuals are registered to practice.

The other options do not align with RECO's responsibilities. RECO does not provide funding for marketing properties, focus on buyer background checks, or mandate pricing strategies for brokerages, all of which fall outside of its regulatory purview. Instead, RECO's primary mission revolves around registration, regulation, and educational initiatives aimed at fostering ethical practices within the real estate market.
