FAQs
Find answers to common questions about IBAO Membership including benefits, categories and how to join.
Unfortunately, we're not structured to support individual memberships.
No. Your membership total will be pro-rated based on the number of months you can take advantage of benefits.
Principal Brokers or appointed Broker Administrators can update brokerage information. You can find detailed instructions on how to do that here. Alternatively, the Manager or Principal Broker can email membership@ibao.on.ca with changes and we can assist.
Membership dues are calculated annually. There are no mid-term changes. If you add licensed brokers in your office mid-year, you can add them to your brokerage roster complimentary so they can take advantage of benefits. Reductions or increases in the number of licensed brokers are calculated annually to establish your brokerage's Base Fee after the change is made.
Yes. Non-licensed staff members can be added to your roster at no cost.
In the event of a merger or acquisition, dues won't change mid-term. At the next billing cycle:
- Base Fee 1 (1–13 Licensed Brokers): $425 per LB
E.g., if two brokerages with 5 LBs each merge in 2025, the new entity will be invoiced in 2026 for 10 LBs × $425 = $4,250. - For mergers resulting in 14+ LBs (Base Fee 2, 3 or 4) the new entity will be charged the lower of:
• Acquirer’s Base Fee + $200 per newly acquired LB
or
• Acquirer’s Base Fee + Acquired Brokerage’s Base Fee (if both are IBAO members)
