The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) has issued an order to freeze the bank accounts of Oakville, Ont.-based Rexig Realty Investment Group. The regulator has also issued a proposal to revoke the registrations of both the brokerage and Broker Paul Poliszot, the brokerage’s director and president. 

The measures, announced Oct. 30 under the Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2002 (TRESA), are intended to protect consumer deposits. RECO says the freeze order prevents funds from being withdrawn from the brokerage’s bank accounts. It uses freeze orders “when necessary” to ensure that money held in brokerage accounts is not at risk of being misused.

Rexig, which employs 10 agents according to the regulator, remains open. RECO says the broker of record will oversee remaining transactions and facilitate the transfer of agents and active listings to other brokerages.

Appeal process

A proposal to revoke registration is issued when the Registrar believes a brokerage or registrant is not entitled to registration. The decision can be appealed within 15 days. If no appeal is filed, Rexig and Poliszot’s registrations will be terminated, and they will no longer be permitted to trade in real estate.

Poliszot did not respond to Real Estate Magazine’s request for comment.

In a 2021 interview with REM, Poliszot described his firm as working “much like a real estate investment bank,” advising smaller investors — such as medical professionals, lawyers and entrepreneurs — on building real estate portfolios.

Province reviewing iPro audit

The enforcement action comes as the Ontario government confirms it has received Dentons Canada’s audit into RECO’s handling of the iPro Realty scandal, which involved the alleged misuse of millions in trust funds. Minister Stephen Crawford has said the findings will be made public once his review is complete, though no timeline has been given.

Consumers and agents affected by the Rexig freeze order are encouraged to contact RECO.

In an era of global economic instability exemplified by the ongoing U.S. trade war and rising protectionist policies, labour mobility must be part of Canada’s plan to strengthen its internal economy.

But resilience should be built on a foundation of trust, especially in sectors as vital and consumer-facing as real estate. 

When it comes to buying or selling a home, the largest financial transaction most Canadians will ever make, consumer protection must not be sacrificed on the altar of as-of-right labour mobility.

Stakes are higher compared to other professions

Across Canada, provincial governments are introducing legislation, like Ontario’s Bill 2, the Protect Ontario Through Canada Free Trade Act, 2025, to permit “as-of-right” recognition of professional registrations or licenses.

On paper, that’s a promising step. Real estate professionals, like their clients, should be able to practice across provincial borders with minimal barriers and red tape. 

Except real estate is not like other regulated professions. 

If a hair stylist or an accountant from another province makes an error because they lack knowledge of local regulations, the consequences are usually fixable. In real estate, a bad transaction can be financially devastating, upending a family’s future, draining life savings, or leaving someone without a home. 

When it comes to dealing with the financial well-being of Canadians, the stakes are too high to treat real estate labour mobility as a rubber-stamp process.

Frameworks built on hyper-localization

Real estate professionals do not operate in one uniform national market, but in deeply local ones shaped by regional cultures, economies, and consumer expectations. The provincial regulatory frameworks governing those markets did not emerge by accident. They were shaped by the unique needs of local consumers across each province. 

Ontario’s regulatory system, for example, is designed to balance the complexity of Toronto’s condo market with the very different realities of rural or northern transactions. 

While each provincial framework may not always get it right, they have evolved to remain flexible enough to work across a wide range of property types, transaction structures, and market pressures. To ignore that complexity in the name of expedient labour mobility is to misunderstand how real estate functions in this country. 

Proceeding with guard rails

Real estate industry leaders should advocate for as-of-right labour mobility with requirements.

Rather than fight against the removal of internal trade barriers, industry associations, regulators and government should collaborate to design reciprocal registration recognition frameworks that allow real estate professionals to get certified quickly, while also ensuring that consumers are protected.

For example, out of province registrants should be required to demonstrate knowledge of provincial real estate laws and regulations. That would mean, for example, implementing jurisdiction-specific knowledge tests, such as the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) interprovincial challenge exam to ensure that agents understand the legal and regulatory frameworks they’re working within.

It also means requiring proof of appropriate insurance coverage in the province of practice. 

In Ontario, for example, this would involve mandatory participation in RECO’s professional liability program. 

Agents or brokerages should also be required to maintain trust accounts within the province where they are trading to ensure consumer deposits are subject to local oversight and can be audited if necessary. 

And finally, in a future where corporate brokerage headquarters could be anywhere in Canada, there must be clear lines of accountability so that consumers know exactly who to contact if they need to resolve a complaint or get support during a transaction.

Big changes set for Canada Day

For real estate association leaders across Canada, this future is coming faster than you may think. 

Prime Minister Carney and Canada’s premiers have set a target of July 1st, 2025 for removing all internal trade barriers.

Many provinces have entered memorandums of understandings (MOUs) to negotiate the specific changes and as-of-right labour mobility regulations. 

Thankfully, associations like the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), and the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) are at the table for these discussions alongside our provincial regulators. 

Beyond changes to government policy, association leaders should also prioritize professional development programs that equip agents and brokers with the knowledge needed to operate effectively outside their home province. 

Brokerages, particularly those in multiple provinces, must proactively develop compliance systems that meet or exceed the highest regulatory standards across jurisdictions. 

At the same time, real estate regulators must collaborate to develop shared disciplinary databases that prevent individuals with problematic histories from simply moving provinces to avoid consequences.

The future is coming fast. Labour mobility is not a matter of if, but when. The real estate industry must lead in designing a system that encourages greater mobility while keeping consumers safe.

Let’s ensure that when we say any license can work anywhere, we also mean that every consumer is protected everywhere.

Ryan Hodge and Sandra Tavares are welcoming Erie’s Edge as a partner company of The Realty Firm, forming the newly-named The Realty Firm Erie’s Edge Real Estate Ltd. 

Both brokerages say the collaboration is more than just a name change; it signals an alignment of values and vision.

“We are very selective about who we partner with, so this relationship is very exciting to us,” Hodge told Real Estate Magazine. “Ray has spoken for and contributed to our organization at the highest of levels. We’ve watched from afar as he’s led his wonderful organization all along all while contributing to the entire real estate industry.”

Hodge said he and Ray Ferris began to discuss the possibility of a partnership “over many discussions, explorations, and early morning conversations.”

The Realty Firm launched in London, Ont. in 2013, and has since gradually expanded into several other markets.

Along the way, the firm created a “partner company” model that allows teams or brokerages to partner with The Realty Firm while retaining their personal brand elements and leadership. 

“We offer full back-end services and support while the leader usually remains as broker of record and continues a strong culture while merging with ours,” said Hodge.

“The partnership with Ray and Amie will be our fourth partner company.” 

Brand evolution

Ferris, former president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, says while his branding is evolving, “the heart of Erie’s Edge remains the same.”

“I’m still proudly serving as broker of record, and my wife, Amie, and I continue to own the brokerage together,” he said.

“Rachel Larose remains our talented and trusted brokerage manager, continuing to support our Realtors with the same excellence and care.”

By becoming a partner company, Erie’s Edge gains access to enhanced resources and support to enable its agents to provide better service to clients, said Ferris.

Ferris brings teaching skills to the table

Hodge said his firm puts a big emphasis on training, development, and supporting agents, a value shared with Erie’s Edge. 

Ferris, who been an instructor on real estate topics around the province, will bring training and coaching to everyone under The Realty Firm umbrella.

“I believe education is the foundation of confidence and success in real estate. At The Realty Firm, I plan to bring that same energy and commitment to our Realtors,” said Ferris.

“Whether it’s through hands-on training, contract coaching, or leading open forums, I want to help agents feel equipped, empowered, and supported.”

When the Trust in Real Estate Services Act (TRESA) was introduced, Ferris facilitated over 300 sessions across Ontario.  Most recently, he served as OREA’s Realtor In Residence, Standard Forms Instructor, and Lead Subject Matter Expert.    

After moving on from OREA, he was recruited as an instructor for the Real Estate Institute of Canada (REIC).  

In 2017, he was awarded the Fellow of the Real Estate Institute (FRI) designation.

“What I’ve learned as an instructor is that real impact comes from creating a space where people feel safe to ask questions, share ideas, and push themselves to grow,” said Ferris. “That’s exactly the kind of culture I see at The Realty Firm — and I’m excited to contribute in a meaningful way.”

In 2023, he was awarded the prestigious Cardarelli Legacy Award.

Amie Ferris concluded her term as chair of Ontario Realtors Care Foundation at its annual general meeting in March.

The Protect Ontario Through Free Trade Within Canada Act, 2025 (Bill 2) has passed its second reading. 

It proposes Realtors in co-operating provinces, which include New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, do not need to take an exam to begin working in Ontario. Instead, the Realtor simply has to apply to work in Ontario with the certification from their province. 

If their registration is approved, they can then work in Ontario without even having to be physically present in the province.

A threat to high standards?

Some working in the field fear the bill has the potential to weaken the high standards Ontario sets out for its real estate sector.

“Technically, (the bill) does (lower standards),” real estate agent Danny Dawson told REM. “You’re letting someone into a new province that has a whole different set of regulations and rules, and different systems, and they’re not trained on it yet.”

Dawson has a practice in both Ottawa and the Outaouais region in southwestern Quebec. He warns that if there’s no process in place to make sure the Realtor knows the regulations for Ontario to a tee, problems could arise.

“The consumer expects a Realtor to be educated in the law and the systems to buy a house,” Dawson said. “If you don’t know that, that’s a fail to the consumer. So there does need to be a system in place… if it’s just a simple transfer of license, then I see that being a problem.”

Toronto-based Realtor Scott Ingram agrees that simply airdropping into a different jurisdiction without a deep knowledge of the market may not work as Ford envisions. 

He said even going from Toronto to Port Hope, both in Ontario, means very different customs, and it took adjustments to make it work for him. 

For example, in a recent deal in Port Hope, he got a personal cheque for the deposit, which he said never happens in Toronto, and the deposit was a lot less than the five per cent he usually receives. 

Ingram imagines an out-of-province Realtor trying to manage a bidding war in Toronto.

“It could be a real shit show,” he said. “Real estate is an area of local specialization.”

He foresees younger, hungrier agents taking advantage of working in a different province rather than more experienced agents.

How it would work

In the proposed new process, the Realtor notifies the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) that they want to practise in Ontario under the Labour Mobility Act. 

The regulator has 10 days to approve their request, according to an official with knowledge of the matter but who is not authorized to speak on it. 

The Realtor is then considered registered for up to six months and must submit a complete labour mobility application within 30 days, which RECO also has 30 days to approve or reject. If approved, the Realtor can continue to work in Ontario.

The current process requires the Realtor to be present in Ontario and take an exam that proves they are familiar with the Trust in Real Estate Services Act, or TRESA, the legislation that governs Ontario’s real estate industry.

A bill to remove barriers

Bill 2 doesn’t specifically say anything about real estate. Instead, it is a blanket decree to remove barriers for the free flow of goods and services between provinces, and real estate is just one of those services caught in its net.

“What we want to do is standardize right across the country,” Premier Doug Ford said during an April news conference in which Ontario signed a memorandum of understanding with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. “If it’s good for one province… why isn’t it good for all provinces and territories?”

Ford, though, was talking about first aid kits when he posed that question, and real estate is much more complicated.

Overall impact remains unclear

Regulations for the bill, which will be informed by input from industry experts and associations, are set to begin shortly, and they may restrict the free flow that the province intends.

Cathy Polan, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, said in a statement to REM that they are “working with the provincial government to understand the impact that this Bill may have on Ontario real estate.”

“As we move forward, OREA will continue to work alongside the Ontario government and RECO to ensure a smooth transition during this process and assist with labour mobility across Canada,” she said.

Matthew Thornton, founder of public affairs firm Real North Strategies, which has clients working on this file, noted that at the very minimum, Realtors working in Ontario will still have to follow the rules of TRESA. He said the province can still protect consumers through that legislation. 

“I can’t see standards being decreased,” he said. “It would be a step backwards and I think the industry is looking to ensure that our standards remain very high.”

Thornton noted that real estate is different from other industries in that consumer protection is a huge element, and it involves sensitive transactions that often deal with people’s life savings.

A RECO spokesperson told REM in a statement that they will communicate any changes with the sector as they review the details of the legislation. 

Ford has indicated he’d like all barriers between provincial trade removed by Canada Day, according to the source with knowledge of the matter, and Thornton said there’s some urgency in the government to get the bill through.

Both Dawson and Ingram don’t see the bill having too great an impact on the industry and predicted that not many Realtors will take the province up on its offer. 

Dawson noted that Realtors can already work in different provinces just by taking an exam, which he says is not a large barrier, but not many do it. 

Working in more than one province involves paying multiple membership fees to real estate boards, which Dawson said isn’t financially viable if they’re not active in both markets.

“(Bill 2) is not going to have a major impact,” Dawson said.
