The Real Estate Council of Alberta, the body tasked with licensing and regulating real estate industry professionals in Alberta, is advising the public that Justin James Fraser is permanently prohibited from dealing in real estate, effective December 20, 2024.
A Hearing Panel permanently cancelled the real estate licence of Fraser under s.43(1) (a) of the Real Estate Act. The appeal period for this decision has passed and the written decision is now available.
The vast majority of RECA licensees adhere to high standards of professionalism and integrity. However, Fraser’s conduct breached these standards, resulting in a lifetime ban to ensure public protection and maintain trust in the real estate industry.
Based on evidence presented during the conduct hearing, the Hearing Panel found Fraser broke Real Estate Act Rules s.42(f) on four occasions. Real Estate Act Rules s. 42(f) states:
In its decision, the Hearing Panel also banned Fraser from ever obtaining any other RECA licence. Prior to this lifetime cancellation, RECA had suspended Fraser’s real estate licence since October 5, 2021, pending the outcome of the hearing.
RECA licences and regulates individuals in the residential and commercial real estate, mortgage, property management and condominium management industries in Alberta. RECA publishes licence cancellations to protect consumers, uphold professional industry standards, ensure transparency and provide education to licensees and the public on the Real Estate Act standards of practice.
RECA’s Find a Licensee tool allows anyone to search for a licensee (real estate, mortgage, property management and condominium management) to confirm they are licensed and in good standing.
