Pursuant to s.10(2) Information before Agreements

"The brokerage shall, at the earliest practicable opportunity and before an offer is made, use the brokerage’s best efforts to obtain from the buyer or seller a written acknowledgement that the buyer or seller received all the information referred to in subsection (1) O.Reg 580/05, s.10(2)" (The aforementioned establishes minimum disclosure requirements.")
