If you are leaving the business temporarily or permanently due to:
- Retirement

- Illness
- Caring for an aging parent

- You are a recent course graduate and not ready to start
- Any other purpose
It shouldn't cost you all your hard-earned savings.
By parking your license with us, you can:
- Keep your license so that you keep your options open
- Refer past clients, friends and relatives and collect the referral fee
- Move to Active selling again easily
- Be kept informed of industry changes
- Be notified of due dates for education and insurance

Karma Realty Inc. is not a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), The Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) or any other board. Registrants who park their license with us are still licensed Real Estate Representatives under the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).
If you want to be able to do referrals and have the ability to re-instate your license, and pay a minimum for these benefits, then you have come to the right place.
It's not a difficult process, and we can walk you through every step.

Canadian realtors face looming market slow down. Will it effect you?

The CBC reports that the number of realtors in Canada surged by 77 percent since 2008 and now with the looming slow down in the housing market, many will need to consider their options. Finding buyers and sellers in a good market is difficult, but it's even harder to close deals in a poor one. As independent contractors, realtors are faced with all kinds of financial challanges, including no steady income, high brokerage and association fees, advertising costs and more.
If the slowing Canadian Real Estate market is causing you to consider your options, one option is to park your license with Karma Realty until the market recovers. You can still earn referral fees and keep your license active, without many of the costs associated with other options. Contact us to see how we can help.

RECO Says “No Parking”, I Say Tomato

In the recent Insurance notices from RECO, there is a paragraph regarding "Parking" or being “non-active”.
The paragraph states, “There is no provision under the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act 2002 that permits a “parked” or “non-active” registration status. You must either be registered to trade in real estate – which involves renewing your registration every two years, fulfilling all education requirements and paying your yearly insurance renewal fee – or you may choose to terminate your registration.”
