How can I become a real estate broker?
In Ontario, you need to be a registered real estate salesperson and have successfully completed the Real Estate Broker Program, prior to applying for registration with RECO.
To register with RECO, you must:

If you meet the above requirements, you may apply to change your registration category from salesperson to broker by completing the Application for New Salesperson/Broker form at any time during your registration cycle or, by providing your Real Estate Broker Program transcript at the time of your registration renewal.
