The Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission licenses individuals, not just companies, and its registry shows whether a name is currently active, suspended or has never held a licence at all. SREC also requires that commission be agreed to in writing between a client and their broker, so ask to see that agreement rather than taking a verbal number at face value.
A licence check takes only a few minutes online and tells you more than a website bio does, since it confirms the person in front of you is legally allowed to represent a Saskatoon seller or buyer today, not that they once were. The same diligence is worth applying to the lawyer who will handle closing, since legal fees for a typical Saskatoon sale run $800 to $1,500.
