Park your license at $0 Real Cost

Yes, absolutely. You can park your Ontario real estate license with HOMEH Brokerage from anywhere in Canada. As long as you maintain a valid Canadian residence and an active RECO registration, our virtual brokerage model allows you to seamlessly transfer and hold your license with us. 

Upon joining, you are welcome to use our official brokerage address as your registered address for service with RECO, eliminating the need for a local physical office space. 

Yes. Unlike traditional license warehousing, HOMEH gives you a "pay-as-you-trade" option. While your license is held safely to avoid ongoing CREA, OREA, and standard desk fees, you can still access local MLS networks on demand.

We offer free MLS listings on the TRREB board. If you need to list a property on any of the other 39 real estate boards across Ontario, we facilitate a listing referral agreement for a minimal administrative fee ranging from $25 to $100 per listing, depending on the local association's guidelines.

Covered Ontario Real Estate Boards & Associations:

• Greater Toronto & Central ON: TRREB, Barrie, Brampton, Durham, Mississauga, Oakville-Milton, Simcoe, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough & Kawarthas, The Lakelands (Muskoka, Haliburton, Orillia)

Yes, absolutely. At HOMEH Brokerage, parking your RECO license doesn't mean sacrificing professional guidance. Our brokerage is owned and actively managed by a Broker of Record with over 20 years of hands-on commercial and residential real estate experience in Ontario.

Our management team is accessible 365 days a year to provide reliable broker support, review clauses, and guide you through RECO compliance requirements whenever an unexpected transaction or referral opportunity arises.

Furthermore, HOMEH agents gain direct access to our trusted professional network, which includes leading:

• Real estate lawyers
• Top-tier mortgage brokers
• Certified home inspectors

Whether you are fully active or keeping your license parked to cut costs, you are backed by a complete real estate ecosystem built to protect your trades and secure your success.

Yes, we provide a full 24/7 appointment desk service, and it is completely FREE. There are zero hidden fees or monthly desk charges for this infrastructure at HOMEH Brokerage.

Our system operates 24/7, 365 days a year to keep you seamlessly connected to your transactions based on how you choose to work with us:

• When HOMEH Lists a Property (You as the Referral Agent): When we act as the listing brokerage on your behalf, your contact information is securely programmed into our centralized front-desk system. The moment an outside buyer's agent books a showing, both you and your sellers receive automated, real-time notifications simultaneously, keeping you fully in the loop without the administrative headache.
• When You Show a Property (On Behalf of the HOMEH Team): If you are assisting the HOMEH team by showing a property, our system ensures you have instant field updates. You will receive an immediate text, phone call, or email notification the exact moment a showing is confirmed by the listing agent, property owner, or tenant.

This gives you a fully automated, enterprise-grade real estate front desk to protect your client relationships and referral business, entirely free of charge.

There are absolutely zero hidden fees, zero monthly charges, and zero desk fees. You can park your real estate license with HOMEH Brokerage in Ontario for completely $0 out-of-pocket costs.

We can offer this industry-leading, affordable business model because our structure is built on a mutually beneficial partnership. We only make money when you do.

We provide complete paperwork access and professional typing support completely FREE of charge. When you park your real estate license, you typically lose access to active board platforms—but HOMEH ensures you are never stranded when a referral or transaction opportunity drops into your lap.

Our office support for parked agents:

• On-Demand Form Access: If you need any standard Ontario real estate forms (such as Buyer Agency Agreements, Waivers, or Amendments), simply let us know. We will instantly email you all the required documents.
• Custom Clause Assistance: If your deal requires specific conditions or protections, our experienced management team will write and provide the exact clauses you need.
• Complimentary Compliance Review: Before you send any document to your clients for a signature, our Broker of Record will thoroughly review the paperwork to ensure it is 100% compliant and legally sound.

You can use our daily-updated search portal. You get free, unlimited access to www.homeh.com. It features an interactive map search and synchronizes every 5 minutes with fresh MLS data across Ontario boards so you can track the market without a TRREB token. 

We list it for you through our head office via a listing referral agreement. HOMEH Brokerage maintains active access to different real estate boards and associations across Ontario, allowing us to place your property directly on the MLS network so you can securely protect your transaction and earn your split.  

No. There are never any extra costs or monthly fees. When you use your parked license to list a property or work with buyers, you will never be billed for hidden overhead. Everything is handled smoothly, and you will receive your commission payout based entirely on your referral agreement with HOMEH Brokerage.

Your commission is fully protected by law through standard TRESA documentation.  All Ontario real estate salespersons and brokers, regardless of board membership, must have a signed Confirmation of Cooperation and Representation form for every transaction. This mandatory document legally binds the cooperating brokerages to the agreed commission split, ensuring your referral fees are fully secured and legally protected. 

We deliver critical legislative updates directly to your inbox.

Even though your RECO registration is passive, you are legally required to comply with provincial trading standards, such as the Trust in Real Estate Services Act (TRESA). To protect you from compliance risks, HOMEH Brokerage automatically tracks, summarizes, and emails you any new changes regarding Ontario real estate regulations, brokerage compliance policies, and standard trading practices the moment they are published.

 Your current brokerage is legally obligated to pay you. Under RECO guidelines and Ontario contract law, your previous brokerage must hold your pending funds inside their Real Estate Commission Trust Account.

Once the transaction officially closes and the funds clear, that brokerage is legally required to pay out your commission split as dictated by the original Independent Contractor Agreement you signed with them—even though your license is now successfully parked or active with HOMEH.

 Active listings belong to your current brokerage and cannot be automatically transferred.  To move your listing inventory, you must inform your sellers of your transfer and have them sign a listing cancellation agreement, which must also be executed by your current Broker of Record. Once released, you can execute a new listing or referral agreement through HOMEH Brokerage to get your property back on the MLS system seamlessly. 

No, there are zero restrictions and zero penalties. Our pay-as-you-go business model gives you total professional freedom. You can transfer from our license parking tier to our active tier—or vice versa—whenever your career plans change.

The only condition is that when you choose to activate your status to trade directly on the MLS, you will be responsible for activating and paying your local real estate board memberships (such as TRREB). Switching back to our parking office to stop those board fees can also be done instantly with no exit fees.

No. There are absolutely zero penalties, hidden exit fees, or contract termination charges.

You have complete professional freedom and can resign from our brokerage at any time by simply providing a 5-business-day written notice. Furthermore, your pipeline is completely secure—any pending commissions or referral fees will be paid out directly to you via your original agreement terms the exact moment those deals close.

No. Real estate board memberships in Ontario are mandatory packages.

If you choose to join any local real estate board (like TRREB) to access the MLS system, you are legally required to pay your CREA fees ($310 + HST) and OREA fees ($110 + HST) by the January 31st deadline. You cannot opt out of individual provincial or national association dues; failing to pay them will result in your local board immediately suspending your access.

The Parked License Alternative: If you want to avoid paying CREA, OREA, and local board fees entirely, you can park your license with HOMEH. You will pay $0 in board overhead while keeping your RECO registration perfectly active.

Yes. Paying your mandatory annual insurance premium is required to maintain your real estate license in Ontario.

The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) mandates that all active and passive (parked) registrants must fully participate in the provincial professional liability insurance program. This annual fee covers errors and omissions (E&O), commission protection, and consumer deposits. If this premium is missed or left unpaid by the mid-August deadline, RECO will automatically suspend and eventually terminate your real estate registration, meaning you will no longer be legally licensed to trade or collect referral fees.

Yes, but you must follow strict RECO compliance guidelines and omit specific board trademarks.

Because your RECO registration remains fully valid and active while parked, you are legally permitted to advertise your personal brand or referral services. However, your marketing materials must follow these rules:

• Proper Identification: Your advertisement must feature your exact legal name registered with RECO, your correct regulatory title (e.g., "Salesperson" or "Broker"), and our full brokerage name clearly and prominently.
• No Board Trademarks: Because you are bypassing local real estate board dues, you cannot access or feature the MLS® system, nor can you use the restricted REALTOR® designation or logo in any public marketing materials.
• Mandatory Brokerage Review: To safeguard your license from compliance penalties, all print, digital, or social media advertisements must be submitted to and approved by our brokerage management team before publication.

We are a flat-fee, 100% commission brokerage, which is entirely different from a discount model.

"Discount brokerages" typically slash consumer-facing listing commissions to low fixed rates. Our focus is completely on maximizing the profitability of the agent:

• 100% Commission Splits: We never take a percentage cut of your hard-earned income. You pay a predictable, flat transaction fee per deal.
• Pricing Freedom: You have complete autonomy to negotiate your own consumer commission rates to win listings on your own terms.
• Industry Norms: We strongly advocate that cooperating broker commissions adhere to local market standards to keep your active listings competitive.

 Yes. As an independent contractor, you have absolute freedom to negotiate and determine your own commission rates.

Under Canada’s Competition Act and RECO guidelines, there is no such thing as a fixed or legally mandated "standard commission rate" in Ontario. You have complete autonomy to price your services on any transaction—whether you want to charge a flat fee, a standard percentage, or offer a competitive discount to win a luxury listing—all without needing prior approval from our brokerage office.

No. There are absolutely no sales quotas or transaction minimums at our brokerage.

Our business model is engineered for complete career flexibility, making it the ideal home for both top-producing real estate professionals and passive, referral-focused agents

According to RECO processing guidelines, all transfer and resignation dates filled out on your paperwork must reflect the current date (today's date). Much like a post-dated cheque, if a form is submitted with a future effective date, it cannot be processed by the registrar and will be rejected.  Furthermore, under current RECO updates, employee transfers and terminations are no longer handled via emailed PDF forms; they must be initiated and completed digitally in real-time by logging into your online portal.  For official instructions on managing your registration, you can review the guidelines directly on the RECO Making Changes to Your Registration Page. 

 Typically less than a few hours.
