As a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), I am required to adhere to a code of conduct and ethics that have been in place for over a century. This code requires many disclosure requirements and obligations. I am also required to maintain minimum educational requirements, including ethics, real estate law, trends and practices. Being a REALTOR® member gives me access to Board MLS® systems, where most (but not all) commercial listings can be found.
So, if commercial listings are not on MLS®, where can we find them? Well, there are many commercial real estate brokerages that are NOT CREA members and so therefore you will not see their listings on MLS®. They will typically post their own listings on their own websites, or post their listings onto websites like Zillow or LoopNet. I have relationships with most of these non-member brokerages and cooperate with them in an effort to provide my clients with as much information as possible.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions about specific properties you are looking for. I will most likely already know about properties that fit your needs.
Below are links to the MLS® system searches on Realtor.ca for commercial properties in Canada. But please remember that these searches are not all-inclusive.
