Straight Talk on Real Estate is published on 519Blog.com. Columns are written by licensed Ontario realtors and each piece identifies its author, brokerage and RECO registration. Content is general information about how buying and selling typically works in Ontario and is not advice about your specific transaction, property or circumstances, nor a solicitation for business where the author is not licensed. Real estate practice in Ontario is regulated by the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) under the Trust in Real Estate Services Act. Nothing here creates an agency or client relationship. Always obtain independent legal advice before signing an agreement of purchase and sale.
