What an OACIQ licence guarantees
A valid OACIQ licence means your broker has completed recognized professional training, carries mandatory liability insurance, and is bound by a strict code of ethics that prioritizes your interests.
This gives you a formal recourse mechanism if something goes wrong — something that doesn't exist with unlicensed individuals or private sellers acting outside the regulated framework.
