What if You Want to Get Licensed But Are Not Yet?
If you aren't yet licensed but wish to be, we can help you! We are looking for unlicensed property managers, and can help them gain their property manager license.
Getting a real estate license can be frustrating and confusing. We can help our hires through that process and guide them through completion of their real estate license course, and then license them with our brokerage.
What do you need to become licensed?
Under the Real Estate Act of Alberta, the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) licenses property managers. To become licensed as a property manager you must meet the eligibility requirements and pre-licensing education requirements set by RECA.
The Eligibility requirements are:
- be at least 18 years of age
- be able to lawfully study and work in Canada
- be able to provide specific government-issued identification (ID)
- have a minimum of Canadian high school education or equivalent
- prove your English language skills
Pre-licensing education for property managers includes two courses: Fundamentals of Real Estate and Introduction to a Career in Property Management. If you’ve earned a Real Property Administrator (RPA) or Certified Property Manager (CPM) designation and your designation is current, you may apply to RECA for an exemption from completing the second course.
Once you have the educational requirements, you must be hired by a licensed real estate brokerage which also trades in property management - such as Ideal Real Estate!
