Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 1 Exam Practice

What is the primary role of the Real Estate Council in Ontario?

1. Monitor MLS® regulations.

2. Settle MLS® issues among board members.

3. Act as a strong advocate for real estate professionals.

4. Enforce minimum standards for certification courses.

5. Facilitate negotiations between competing brokerages.

6. Oversee ethical compliance among realtors.

The correct answer is: Enforce minimum standards for certification courses.

The primary role of the Real Estate Council in Ontario is to enforce minimum standards for certification courses. This means that the council ensures that all real estate professionals receive adequate and standardized education and training before becoming certified to practice in Ontario. By maintaining these standards, the council helps to uphold the professionalism and quality of real estate services provided in the province. Options A, B, C, E, and F are not correct because they do not accurately reflect the primary role of the Real Estate Council in Ontario. Option A refers to monitoring MLS® regulations, which is typically the role of the local real estate boards or associations. Option B pertains to settling MLS® issues among board members, which is also a responsibility of the local boards or associations. Option C mentions acting as a strong advocate for real estate professionals, which is not the primary role of the council. Option E talks about facilitating negotiations between competing brokerages, which is not within the council's primary responsibilities. Option F discusses overseeing ethical compliance among realtors, which is more aligned with the Real Estate Council's commitment to enforcing standards for certification courses rather than focusing solely on ethical compliance.
