| According to the current Real Estate Brokerage Act, all real estate agents with a valid Certificate of Practice can work in residential real estate, commercial real estate or as a mortgage agent.
Under the next Act, which was passed in May 2008 but has not yet come into force, this situation may change since each “specialization” will require a different permit. The duties and functions of commercial real estate agents are very similar to those of residential agents. However, they must have strong financial training. They must be able to handle a variety of brokerage operations such as the sale, purchase, exchange and leasing of a commercial property or lot, or a company.
They deal with clients who are supported (or represented) by various experts such as lawyers, tax experts, accountants, valuators, architects, environmental and commercial design specialists, etc. If commercial real estate interests you, the Collège is now offering its Introduction to Commercial and Industrial Real Estate Program. This specialized program will be “recognized” when the new Act comes into force.
The program (in French only) consists of the following 10 seminars: - Commercial Leasing Basics
- Public Relations
- Preparing a Commercial/Business Sale or Lease File
- Introduction to the Industrial Field
- Understanding Business Valuation
- Environmental Analysis
- Taxation
- Selling a Retail Business
- Commercial Law
- Marketing Commercial Real Estate
- Fabienne Malenfant
- Relationist
