New Government-Imposed Rules for Real Estate in Ontario - TRESA

The real estate industry in Ontario has recently undergone significant changes due to new government-imposed rules. The Trust in Real Estate Services Act (TRESA), is a new legislation designed to enhance transparency, security, and ethics in real estate transactions. This article aims to help you understand what these changes mean for you.


Understanding TRESA

At its core, TRESA is about ensuring your real estate transactions are as transparent, secure, and ethical as possible. It requires you to read and acknowledge a document that comprehensively outlines what it means to work with a real estate agent, the services they provide, and the implications of self-representation.


Working with a Real Estate Agent

The document details the responsibilities and services of a real estate agent, helping you understand what to expect when engaging their services. This clarity ensures that you're fully informed about the professional relationship and can make the most of their expertise.


Self-Representation

TRESA also covers self-representation, including the potential risks involved. It provides you with the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision about whether to represent yourself or engage the services of a real estate agent. Ultimately, the choice between being a Self Represented Party or a Client is yours.


Increased Transparency and Ethical Practices

One of the key aspects of TRESA is its focus on enhancing transparency, particularly when dealing with multiple offers. This increased transparency ensures that all parties involved in a transaction are treated equitably and ethically.
