Switch to Dwelly in 3 Steps
What it takes to move your registration to Dwelly Realty Inc.
Sign Up & Pay
Pick your plan ($49/mo 100% Producer) and check out online. Then finish onboarding in one sitting: a short profile, e-sign your agreement, and a quick orientation quiz.
RECO & TRREB Transfer
Your registration transfer is completed in RECO MyWeb, and we tell you exactly what to do and when. You also move your TRREB membership and MLS access to Dwelly through TRREB's member portal. RECO emails you and your former brokerage when the transfer is complete.
Activate & Start Closing
Get access to the Dwelly Agent Portal and your tools, then start writing offers under Dwelly Realty Inc.
Agent Checklist: What You Need to Join
No branch visits or printing. Most agents complete sign-up and onboarding in one sitting.
What to know before you switch
Notice to your current brokerage
RECO needs your written notice to your current brokerage to complete the transfer, and the transfer effective date can't be more than 30 days in the past. We give you a template.
Active listings and buyer agreements
Listing and buyer representation agreements are contracts between the client and a brokerage, so they don't move automatically. Typically the client signs a mutual release with your current brokerage and a new agreement with Dwelly. We give you the paperwork and walk you through it.
Deals that are already firm
Accepted offers generally close under the brokerage where they were written. Many agents time their switch around upcoming closings, and we are happy to help you plan the date.
Fees and dues
RECO bills its one-time transfer fee to you directly when your registration moves. Dwelly does not collect or retain it. Your TRREB, OREA/CREA and RECO insurance dues are also paid directly by you, as they are today.
Timing questions?
Send us a message at dwellyagents.com/contact or call 647.797.1133 and we will walk you through your situation.
Your money is safe with us
Client money never touches our operating account. Deposits and commissions are held in trust in two dedicated Ontario trust accounts, one for real estate deposits and one for commissions, at a major Canadian bank. They are in the name of Dwelly Realty Inc., Brokerage, and kept separate from the brokerage's own money, as TRESA and RECO require.
Reconciled every month
Our accountant reconciles both trust accounts monthly, and the Broker of Record reviews each one.
Two sets of eyes on every payout
Our accountant releases a commission only after the Broker of Record has signed the trade sheet.
Paid your way
Payouts go out every Wednesday and Friday by direct deposit or e-transfer, depending on your preference and the amount, usually 2 to 7 business days after the funds clear into trust.
