My New Office Hours, Irrevocability Clauses, and the “Earliest Practical Opportunity”

May 6, 2022 By Brent Jones

As a lot of you are already aware, my wife and I welcomed our first daughter, Ellie, into the world on April 27, 2022.

As a direct result, I have adjusted my availability. Effective immediately, I am available to serve buyers and sellers as follows:

Sunday · OFF
Monday · OFF
Tuesday · 13:00 – 20:00
Wednesday · 13:00 – 20:00
Thursday · 13:00 – 20:00
Friday · 13:00 – 20:00
Saturday · 09:00 – 13:00

Outside of these hours, you are totally welcome to send me a text message, an email, or leave me a voicemail, and I will respond to you when I am available next.

But so long as we’re on the topic of office hours and availability:

I have a few thoughts I’d like to share on the irrevocability clause contained in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (Form 100), the definition of presenting offers at the earliest practical opportunity, and how both of these items impact work-life balance as a realtor in Ontario.

[Articling Segment] Principles of Mortgage Financing: Final Transcript

February 22, 2020 By Brent Jones

In every two-year registration period, realtors in Ontario are required to complete courses in continuing education.

In my first two years as a registrant with RECO — known as my “provisional” period — I was required to complete one elective (articling) course through the OREA Real Estate College. My choices included:

Principles of Appraisal
Real Estate Investment Analysis
Principles of Mortgage Financing
Principles of Property Management

In the end, I decided to take Principles of Mortgage Financing.

The OREA Salesperson Registration Education Program: My Final Transcripts

June 1, 2019 By Brent Jones

I passed my fifth and final exam today in The Salesperson Registration Education Program with the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), which means I can now apply for registration with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).

I thought, for anyone who might be interested, that I’d publish my final transcripts.

Everything You Need to Know for Your First OREA iPad Exam

As you might already know:

As of May 1, 2019, OREA Real Estate College closed admissions and ceased accepting new applicants for The Salesperson Registration Education Program. The college will continue to deliver the Program for all currently enrolled students.

If you’re in the process of completing your pre-registration coursework, odds are you’ve already written your exam for Real Estate as a Professional Career (course one) by now.

If, on the other hand, you haven’t, I am republishing a thread (below) that I created in My OREA Community, outlining everything you need to know.

I hope you find this post helpful.
