RECO Consumer Publication
RECOnnect is RECO’s newsletter for home buyers and sellers. It is published two times per year and is their most important consumer publication.

New RECO service
RECO recently launched their online transfers and terminations service.
As of April 30, 2012, brokers of record and branch managers can perform transfers and terminations for their employees on MyWeb with only a few clicks of a mouse. As long as all information entered is accurate and complete, immediate confirmation of the transfer or termination will be provided.
The enhancement of online services available on MyWeb is especially significant for registrants transferring brokerages. Under REBBA 2002, registrants cannot trade in real estate until their application for transfer is completed. By performing transfers online, registrants will be able to get back to trading immediately.
Additional information can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions document and Employee Transfer Worksheet, which can both be found on RECO’s website under the Registration section.
Feb 7, 2011 | CREA/OREA/RECO News |
RECO will be launching a consumer focused website in March and will be moving the bulk of industry-focused information to MyWeb, the exclusive portal for those registered with RECO. RECO’s goal is to encourage more registrants to use MyWeb as an information source and to conduct online registration renewals and make insurance payments online, reducing paper and increasing efficiency.
Contact RECO for more information.
