Role of Managing Brokers in B.C.’s Changing Real Estate Landscape

Members of the public and real estate professionals were invited to submit feedback as part of a multi-phase project review the roles and responsibilities of managing brokers.

Managing brokers occupy a critical role in the industry and have formal responsibility for the business operations of their brokerage and the actions of the licensed and unlicensed staff who provide services on the brokerage’s behalf. Changing business models and practices may be adversely influencing the ability of managing brokers to effectively uphold their regulatory duties.

This project was initiated to ensure that the role of managing brokers in B.C.’s changing real estate landscape continues to support regulatory protections for consumers and fosters a strong culture of professional in the real estate industry.
