INTERESTING INFO ABOUT DESIGNATED REPRESENTATION IN ONTARIO
As defined by RECO, designated representation involves a scenario where a brokerage designates different representatives within the same brokerage to represent the buyer and seller separately in a transaction. This approach prioritizes each party's interests while upholding the professionalism and ethical standards set forth by RECO.
While this approach is not favourable for a buyer to contact a seller's agent directly who is duty bound to his client(seller), it is not explicitly barred in Ontario.
