On January 3, 2024 CREA’s REALTOR® Cooperation Policy came into force. Under the policy, REALTORS® must place their residential property listings on an MLS® System before public marketing, unless an exemption applies.
Efficient and effective cooperation using MLS® Systems maximizes opportunities for REALTORS® to:
bring together home buyers and sellers;
promotes the values of REALTORS® as trusted partners; and
strengthen the REALTOR® and MLS® brands.
Cooperation between REALTORS® is at the heart of every real estate transaction. The REALTOR® Cooperation Policy puts into effect the “Duty of Cooperation” in Article 30 of the REALTOR® Code.
