As the independent office that protects home buyers and sellers by promoting fair and efficient business practices, the Real Estate Division registers real estate brokerages, property management brokerages, salespersons, representatives, and mortgage brokers and sets the registration and business practice requirements for all registrants in the province of Manitoba.
Below are answers to our most frequently asked questions. We’ll update this section as new questions arise.
I am registered as a real estate salesperson/broker in another province. How do I get registered in Manitoba?
A person registered as a real estate salesperson or broker in another province may qualify for registration in Manitoba by completing the relevant interprovincial course.
Before a person may take the interprovincial course Commission staff need to confirm their eligibility. In order to do this we require that the person submit an official license history from their provincial regulator for our review. If they are licensed in more than one province they must submit histories for all jurisdictions where they are currently licensed. This document must include details on: their registration history (how long have they been licensed, in what capacity, with whom), their education history, and details of any disciplinary actions that may have been taken against them. This document must be sent directly to us from the regulator.
Based upon our review we will advise the person if they are eligible to take our interprovincial course, and if they do qualify, we will direct them to our education provider for details on the course.
I am registered as a mortgage broker in another province. How do I get registered in Manitoba?
A person registered as a mortgage broker in another province may register in Manitoba if Commission staff determine they are eligible to do so.
To determine if a person is eligible we require that they submit an official license history from their provincial regulator for our review. If they are licensed in more than one province they must submit histories for all jurisdictions where they are currently licensed. This document must include details on: their registration history (how long have they been licensed, in what capacity, with whom), their education history, and details of any disciplinary actions that may have been taken against them.
