In British Columbia, the buying and selling of real estate is governed by the Real Estate Services Act (RESA, SBC 2004, c. 42) and regulated by the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA). Under RESA, only licensed real estate professionals may provide real estate services, which includes representing buyers or sellers in a transaction, negotiating on their behalf, or providing real estate advice for compensation.
KootHaven operates as an advertising and scheduling platform only. We do not provide real estate services as defined under RESA. All agents listed on KootHaven are independently licensed by the BCFSA and are solely responsible for their own professional conduct, the accuracy of their listings, and compliance with all applicable laws and BCFSA regulations.
KootHaven is not affiliated with the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the BC Real Estate Association (BCREA), the BCFSA, or any Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®). The trademarks REALTOR®, REALTORS®, and the REALTOR® logo are controlled by CREA and used only to identify real estate professionals who are members of CREA. KootHaven does not use these marks to identify itself or its services.
Personal information collected through this platform is handled in accordance with BC's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Important Disclaimer
Property listings, prices, and agent information on KootHaven are provided by independent licensed agents and are not verified by KootHaven. KootHaven makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or legality of any listing. Always verify information directly with the listing agent and consult a licensed real estate professional before making any real estate decision.
KootHaven restricts listing creation to licensed real estate agents only. This is a deliberate policy decision made to comply with BC's Real Estate Services Act and to protect both buyers and sellers.
Under RESA, private individuals who advertise property for sale or rent in a way that constitutes "trading in real estate" may be required to hold a licence. To avoid any ambiguity and to ensure all listings on KootHaven are backed by a licensed professional who is accountable to the BCFSA, we require all listing posters to hold an active BC real estate licence.
If you are a property owner wishing to sell or rent your property, we encourage you to find a licensed Kootenay agent who can list your property on your behalf.
You can verify any BC real estate agent's licence status directly on the BCFSA public registry. Always confirm a licence before working with any agent.
