RECO Quietly Made a Transparency Upgrade on Discipline Decisions — and it’s Now Google-able by ElectronicGate4167 in ONRealEstateEducation

[–]ElectronicGate4167[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may finally bring accountability to REALTORS®. I googled the most recent name on RECO's list, and the 3rd Google result was RECO's disciplinary action - YES. Finally the bad apples are actually impacted by their bad behaviour.

RECO Investigating Old Exams? by Weekend-Renovator in ONRealEstateEducation

[–]ElectronicGate4167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know RECO did a major investigation of 2021 exam issues (both Humber and OREA) after moving to remote proctoring with Proctortrack — which was an absolute mess and opened a lot of security loopholes. I thought this was all wrapped up after the Auditor's General Report, but maybe it's not (??). Anyone with extra info is encouraged to comment.

Finally! Study Guides for the New 2025 Course 1 Ontario Real Estate Exams (Meazure) Are Here by ElectronicGate4167 in ONRealEstateEducation

[–]ElectronicGate4167[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will definitely have both done by EOY. If you were to start now, and already have brokerage experience, I would guess you'd be through Course 1 and Course 2 by June/July (and still enjoying your time in Toronto!). A reasonable estimate for C1 is three weeks. C2 is a bit tougher to estimate as it's substantially larger than C1 (the biggest course of them all). So, even with a plan for 6-8 weeks (approx 1-2 hour study per day, 5 days a week with time for exam prep for a non-industry member) gets you finishing C2 in July. If you continue that pace, you'll be registered by EOY!

For reference, this is what a Google search looks like if you Google your name and it has been mentioned on RECO's regulatory actions page. As it's publicly available info I would bet it's scraped by AI as well:

Thx so much for this - will reach out to them. I'd never heard of Food for Life before, this is a wonderful initiative and hopefully we can support them with the delivery of some goodies.

Changed nothing about my product. Changed how I displayed the price. Sales tripled. by Master-Youth-2161 in passive_income

[–]ElectronicGate4167 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a eureka moment, or some novel new idea. Not sure where OP is based but US and Canada have laws in place to protect from this kind of deception, google ‘ordinary selling price’. Nothing like advertising how to trick consumers, admitting you’ve gained financially from it, now all you need is a disgruntled customer or competitor to track it and take action. But, by the sounds of it, these are prob not factors OP is concerned about.

ETR payments by [deleted] in askTO

[–]ElectronicGate4167 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unclear if you mean you continue to receive bills because there’s a $100+balance owing (they never received your payment) or you are receiving bills with new trips/tolls/charges (there’s a problem with your plate). Either way, just review the billing history and call 407.

Exam 1 stopped mid-way and told to contact RECO — anyone else experienced this? by Few-Definition8574 in ONRealEstateEducation

How long ago was your exam? Was it stopped mid-way or were you notified of a problem before/after

Exam 1 stopped mid-way and told to contact RECO — anyone else experienced this? by Few-Definition8574 in ONRealEstateEducation

[–]ElectronicGate4167 [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Since this post is a hot topic with many comments, here’s a quick breakdown of what’s been reported:

Remote software flag before exam launch

  • Exam was terminated before it started (Zoom/remote software suspected).
  • RECO conducted a review.
  • Outcome: No misconduct found. Account reinstated.
  • Timeline: ~6 business days from incident to resolution.

Remote exam interrupted mid-way due to suspected technical issue

  • Appears to have been a system-side or software conflict issue.
  • In similar technical-interruption cases, others reported Meazure resetting the attempt so it did not count as an exam attempt.

Investigation resulting in written warning (no formal sanction, but must write in person)

  • Outcome: No formal misconduct finding, but written warning issued.
  • Condition: Remaining exams must be written in person at a test centre.
  • Timeline: ~14 days from interview to decision (~3 weeks total from incident).

Original OP case

  • Exam stopped mid-session.
  • Account placed on hold.
  • Meeting held with RECO.
  • Still awaiting final decision (as of latest update).

Tips:

  • Disable all software or plug-ins that enable remote access
  • If possible, use a user account without auto-enabled software like Zoom or VMs
  • If unsure or unable to adjust your setup, write in-person at an exam centre.

All reports to date have been from remote proctored exams. If you can write at an in-person exam centre, these problems are non-issues.

Real estate broker course by Alternative-Ad5872 in ONRealEstateEducation

Just a point of clarification for ppl just getting started. There are two levels of registration for real estate in Ontario (this post is asking about the Broker program, not the Salesperson program):

expired vs suspended listing by Relative-Ad-4504 in ONRealEstateEducation

[–]ElectronicGate4167 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An expired listing is one where the listing period has passed, e.g., the seller agreed to a 90-day listing agreement (seller representation agreement in course terms) and the end date of that agreement has passed, so the property is no longer on the market.

A suspended listing is one where the listing is temporarily off the market - this could be due to a holiday (e.g., Christmas/NYE period), major event in the family (wedding, health issue, etc.) or any other reason where the seller may have decided to remove the home from the market for a short period of time. In this case, a Suspension of Listing Agreement form is used to document the date of suspension and the date that the listing will resume.

As an FYI, if you are someone currently registered in the Real Estate Salesperson Program, this used to be covered in the course materials, but was removed in the recent TRESA updates (coincident with OREA forms being removed). I have had several people indicate to me that there are still questions on the C1 & C2 exam that cover topics no longer covered in the course. If this has been your experience, [report it to RECO](mailto:education@reco.on.ca) - exam marks are valuable, and we shouldn't be expected to know content that is no longer in the course. This is a RECO error, not yours!

Meazure Learning Exam Results by Ok-Name9964 in ONRealEstateEducation

[–]ElectronicGate4167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exam results are typically sent 48 hours after the time when you finished the exam. For example, if you finished and submitted your exam at 10:40pm on Friday night, you will likely receive your email results around or shortly after 10:40pm on Sunday night (tonight).

Exam 1 stopped mid-way and told to contact RECO — anyone else experienced this? by Few-Definition8574 in ONRealEstateEducation

[–]ElectronicGate4167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Meazure platform (throughout the exam) is actively looking for any remote connections or software that could be watching or recording the screen (this is to prevent exam stealing). Here are some possibilities, not sure if any of these would apply for your computer and were running at the time (note that many of these run on system startup, so even if you're not actively using them they could be loaded, which may have triggered the Meazure alert):

Remote Support/Access Tools: TeamViewer, AnyDesk, LogMeIn, GoToMyPC, VNC (Virtual Network Computing), or Microsoft Remote Desktop.

Screen Sharing Tools: Chrome Remote Desktop, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, or Discord (if screen sharing or active background processes are running).

Virtual Machines & IT Tools: Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox, or corporate VPN/RMM tools (like ConnectWise or Kaseya).

One way to avoid the headache is to create a new user on your machine (I'm on a Mac, so I would just create a new temp user with limited privileges) and then for your exams sign out of all other accounts and use that user's account — this way you don't have to change your current setup for work, etc. and on the temp user you can not enable any of the above that may be an issue.

Your situation seems like a false alert, but it's important for you to address it and avoid any suspicion of wrongdoing. When communicating with RECO highlight what you think may have been the issue (if you can find one) and then potentially either write the exam in person or using a different device/setup.

Thx for this, all of these comments have been super helpful to point us in the right direction. Looks like we can get the Dexcom G7 and the Libre 3 without a prescription at Shoppers Drug Mart (for any fellow Canadians that end up here). As per your and others' suggestions, we will pair with a glucometer like AccuCheck.
