Illegal practice
In Quebec, any real estate brokerage transaction, for compensation and for others, must be carried out by a duly certified real estate broker or agent, i.e. one who holds a certificate to practice issued by the ACAIQ.
Syndic - Accepted practices
The role of the Syndic is to carry out an investigation upon request or if he has a reason to believe that real estate brokers or agents are engaging in illegal acts. A request for an inquiry may be submitted by the general public, as well as by members of the profession.
Administration
A Board of directors made up of eleven directors is responsible for governing the Association's affairs. Nine of these eleven directors are certificate holders, elected by their peers. The two other directors are neither real estate brokers nor agents, but are appointed by the Government after consultation with various socio-economic groups.
