J PT Parmar rear 1 vo svi TR wil vt i Ministry warning to real estate The Ontario Consumer Ministry issued an industry-wide warning today to real estate brokers and salespeople following increased numbers of complaints about questionable practices. The warning was issued to ev ery registered broker in Ontario by Real Estate: Registrar Al Coleclough, as a result of numerous public complaints about questionable sales practices by some registrants. "The current real estate market is very volatile and it is imperative that all brokers and salespeople perform their duties in a cautious and responsible manner. I want to remind each of them that they must make adequate disclosure on all purchases and comply fully with each section of the real estate act," said Coleclough. Allegations of salespeople pur- chasing property for their own use with either no disclosure or 'inadequate disclosure have been increasing. Such activities are con- trary to both the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act and the law of agency. Concern has also been SRprosaed 'about the number of adver- tisements being produced that don't properly identify the people involved in the sale. To ensure ccn- ~sumers are fully informed and protected, all ads must clearly show that they were placed by a registered broker. When salespeople are listed at contacts, the ad must indicate their registration status, identifying" them as employees of the broker involved. | The registrar further cautioned brokers and sales staff to avoid such practices as: listing and selling offers of purchase and sale, deliberately undervaluing proper- ties for the purpose of creating auctions, and the flipping of properties. "Full disclosure and increased diligence on the part of every registrant is needed if a safe and balanced marketplace is to exist," said Coleclough. monitoring the situation in the months to come and are prepared to take 'whatever action is necessary.'
