Every real estate broker in Quebec must hold an OACIQ licence, which you can check for free in the OACIQ public register. Thomas Lymburner holds residential real estate broker licence J6215 with the agency RE/MAX DIRECT INC.
A broker's compensation isn't set by law: it's negotiated and must be written into the brokerage contract. It can come out of the seller's broker's compensation through a collaboration between brokers, or be paid by the buyer, who can even include it in the purchase price to finance it. Source: OACIQ.
