Important Information Before You Contact Me
The information provided on Ontario Home Intel is general educational and informational content only. It is not intended to be real estate, legal, financial, tax, lending, appraisal, inspection, engineering, planning, or other professional advice.
Viewing this website, using its tools, calling, texting, emailing, or otherwise submitting an inquiry does not create a client relationship, agency relationship, fiduciary relationship, or real estate representation agreement.
Real estate representation is established separately through the applicable disclosures and written agreements. Until such a relationship is established, do not assume that website content or a general inquiry constitutes advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
Talk to a REALTOR®
Ontario Home Intel is designed to help people research Ontario property ownership and real estate topics independently. If you’re considering an actual transaction, you may eventually need property-specific assistance from a registered real estate professional.
If you’re considering buying or selling, I can discuss your situation with you and explain the next steps involved in potentially working together.
Bryan Driscoll, REALTOR®
Registered Salesperson with Coldwell Banker Momentum Realty Ltd.
Real estate services can include property searches, comparable-market information, showings, offer preparation, negotiations, transaction conditions, deadlines, and coordination with other professionals involved in a purchase or sale.

BEFORE WORKING WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT IN ONTARIO
Read the RECO Information Guide
Understand representation, your rights, and what it means to work with an Ontario real estate agent.
The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) regulates real estate agents and brokerages in Ontario. Its Information Guide explains important concepts buyers and sellers should understand before receiving real estate services or assistance.
The guide explains topics including representation, brokerage and designated representation, multiple representation, services and agreements, remuneration, and what it means to proceed as a self-represented party.
Ontario real estate agents and brokerages are required to provide and explain the RECO Information Guide before providing services or assistance to a prospective client or self-represented party.
The button above takes you directly to the Real Estate Council of Ontario’s official website. Ontario Home Intel is not affiliated with or operated by RECO.
Understanding Representation in Ontario
Contacting a real estate agent and becoming that agent’s client are not the same thing. Before deciding how you want to proceed, it is important to understand the different relationships that can exist in an Ontario real estate transaction.
Prospective Client
You may contact an agent to learn about representation and determine whether you want to work together. An inquiry by itself does not establish representation.
Client
A client has entered into a representation agreement with a brokerage. The agreement establishes the relationship, services, responsibilities, and other important terms.
Self-Represented Party
A person participating in a transaction without being represented by a brokerage is a self-represented party. Different rules apply to the assistance an agent representing someone else can provide.
RECO’s Information Guide should be reviewed for the complete explanation of these relationships and the rights and responsibilities that apply to them.
If you choose to explore representation with Bryan Driscoll, a registered salesperson with Coldwell Banker Momentum Realty Ltd., the applicable RECO disclosures and representation documents will be addressed separately before a representation relationship is established.

An inquiry does not create representation. If you and Bryan decide to establish a real estate representation relationship, the applicable RECO disclosures and written representation agreement will be addressed separately.
Contact & Representation FAQ
Does contacting Bryan make him my REALTOR®?
No. Calling, texting, emailing, or otherwise contacting Bryan does not by itself establish a representation relationship. Representation is addressed separately through the applicable disclosures and agreements.
Is the information on Ontario Home Intel real estate advice?
No. Ontario Home Intel provides general educational and informational content. The content is not intended as property-specific real estate, legal, financial, tax, lending, appraisal, inspection, engineering, planning, or other professional advice.
Who is Bryan Driscoll registered with?
Bryan Driscoll is a registered real estate salesperson with Coldwell Banker Momentum Realty Ltd.
What is the RECO Information Guide?
The RECO Information Guide is published by the Real Estate Council of Ontario to help consumers understand important matters such as representation, services, agreements, remuneration, multiple representation, and self-representation before working with an Ontario real estate agent or brokerage.
Do I have to sign a representation agreement just to ask a question?
No. A general inquiry does not itself create a representation agreement. If you are considering receiving real estate services or representation, the applicable disclosures, RECO Information Guide, and agreements would be addressed separately.
What is a self-represented party?
A self-represented party is a person participating in a real estate transaction who is not a client of a brokerage. RECO provides specific information about the risks and restrictions that apply when someone chooses to proceed without representation.
Can I contact Bryan if I’m still months away from buying or selling?
Yes. You can make a general inquiry about the process or about potentially working together even if you are still in the planning stage.
