Are you frustrated with having to pay high brokerage fees even when you have no listings, buyers, or paycheques coming in?  Do you have better things you could do with all the money you pay to the board, the provincial and national associations? The unfortunate reality is the economy probably isn’t going to get better anytime soon, and if your business has slowed down or ground to a halt you need to cut costs!  If you’re not selling it will only get harder to pay your brokerage, board, and association fees and dues and you need to talk to us!  Whether you live in Fort McMurray, Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, or Lethbridge you can join Park and Protect, keep your Alberta real estate license up to date, and earn referral fees.  Are you thinking of retiring, going on maternity leave, or just need a break?  Are you asking yourself; “can I park my license and not spend a ton of money?”  We have solutions, get in touch with us, and we’ll keep your Alberta real estate license active!

Rules & Regulations

Real estate agents need to be licensed through the Real Estate Council of Alberta.  Agents need their license registration to be active with a real estate brokerage.  Real estate boards and associations are NOT licensing authorities. You do not need to be a board member to have a real estate license in Alberta Visit our frequently asked questions page for more details.

Who Are We?

Park and Protect is a licensed real estate brokerage in the Province of Alberta and does NOT maintain membership in any real estate board in the province.  Our agents do not have to pay any board fees to the Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Red Deer real estate boards, or any other real estate board. Why let your real estate license expire when you can keep your license active with Park and Protect? Our agents do not have to pay fees to the local board, Alberta Real Estate Association or Canadian Real Estate Association. Contact us for more information!

We are the perfect resource for inactive agents who want to take a break, retire, or cut expenses. You have three years from the date of your last licensing registration to reinstate your license or your license to sell real estate will expire. If you choose not to reinstate your license after three years you will be treated as a new industry member. Starting over means that you would be subject to the education requirements as mandated by RECA.

Sound Familiar?

If you have been struggling to make time for your family, fully commit to retirement, need a rest from the business, or need to get caught up on bills and expenses, we’re here for you!  Even if your current brokerage is waiving some fees and extending in-house credit for your brokerage expenses, sooner or later, you will have to pay it back.  Right now, the Alberta economy is challenging and if you’re not getting listing or working with buyers it really doesn’t matter what payment arrangement your current brokerage is offering you.  Park and Protect does NOT offer any in-house credit but, with our low fees, we don’t have to!  We do not charge institutional advertising fees, franchise fees, or mandatory brokerage social functions fees.  Why pay more? We keep it simple with Park and Protect!

Struggling

Are you having a tough time generating leads and finding qualified clients? You don’t need a full-service brokerage and board fees. You need to preserve what you have until things turn around.

Retirement

Have you thinking about retirement, recently retired, or stepped back from selling real estate?  Do you want to cash referral fee cheques and be done with a board hose services you don’t need?

Take a Break

Are you tired of sacrificing evenings and weekends for indecisive clients?  Has the economic downturn ruined your chances of getting any listings or buyers anytime soon?
