Due to the recent increase in case numbers, the Commission would like to remind the industry that the COVID-19 orders, directives, and guidelines we all have to follow are being continuously updated by the provincial and federal governments.
The Commission has released the November 2020 Disciplinary Newsletter. The newsletter serves as an educational tool for licensees in accordance with Commission by-law 839.
The Commission's Education Committee made recommendations on the 2020-2021 Continuing Professional Education course, which was subsequently approved by the Board of Directors. This year's CPE course is All About Offers: Relationships, Contracts, Communication & Disclosure.
The back-up offer clause in the NSREC clause book has been updated. The purpose of the clause book is to assist licensees in determining the appropriate language for conditions that are needed in an agreement.
The Commission regularly deals with questions from licensees and consumers regarding different relationships a brokerage can offer when dealing with For Sale By Owner’s (FSBO) sellers. There are a range of services that a brokerage/designated agent can provide to a customer or to a client. Sometimes a consumer will seek customer services from one brokerage and agency representation from another.
