Strata Tip of the Week – Serving on a Strata Council While Licensed

Licensed real estate professionals in BC are required to make disclosures in a variety of situations. These disclosures not only help consumers make informed decisions, but they also help you, as a licensee, reduce your own risk of liability. One situation that can be easily overlooked is when you serve on a strata council for a corporation in which you are an owner. To ensure you meet your obligations, here are the steps you should follow:

1. Request that an item be added to the next strata council meeting agenda, so you can acknowledge that you are serving on the strata council while licensed.
2. Obtain and complete the BCFSA Disclosure of Management of Strata Corporation by Licensee Who is an Owner form.
3. Make it clear, and ensure it is noted in the council meeting minutes, that you are acting solely as a council member, not as a licensee.
4. Have two other strata council members sign Part C of the disclosure form, acknowledging its receipt.
5. Provide a signed copy of the disclosure form to your managing broker, so your disclosure is properly recorded.

These steps help ensure you meet your disclosure obligations while serving on a strata council as a licensed professional. That’s it for this week. If you have any suggestions for other topics you’d like us to cover, please let us know at [email protected].
