What does it mean to Upgrade?
This section applies to current Salesmen, who would like to become Dealers. The primary difference in the status of both is that a salesman can only operate under the employment of a dealer, while dealers are able to operate independently and may also employ salesmen.
Upgrade Process
What you will need
A current Salesman Licence
Successful Completion of the Dealers course
Completed Attachment
All the required documents from the Dealer Registration process
What you will need to do
Step 1: Apply and complete the Course for Dealers
A Salesman who would like to become a Dealer must be practising for minimum of one (1) years. Once this requirement is met, the Salesman must apply for and complete the Pre-Licensing Course for Dealers.
Step 2: Apply for attachment to an approved Dealer
You must have successfully completed the course for Dealers before applying for Attachment.
The attachment process can be found here. A written and an oral exam is required for successful completion of Attachment.
Step 3: Complete Dealer Registration process
The dealer registration process is detailed here. Remember that your attachment report approval will also be verified at this point.
Step 4: Obtain Dealer’s Licence
Please note that once you have been officially notified that you have been approved as a Real Estate Dealer and that your licence has been printed, the Salesman Licence must be returned upon collection of the Dealer’s Licence.
A release form is not required for this process.
Your registration on the Public Register will now be under the category of Dealer.
