Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ)

The Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ) is Quebec’s independent regulatory body overseeing real‑estate brokerage. Established in 2010 to replace the Association des courtiers et agents immobiliers du Québec, it enforces the province’s modern Brokerage Act and ensures that real‑estate professionals meet stringent ethical, educational, and competency standards. By monitoring licensing, continuing education, and compliance, OACIQ protects consumers and promotes transparency within the industry. Its distinctive role as a self‑regulatory entity gives it the authority to sanction misconduct while fostering trust among buyers, sellers, and agents alike.
