NSREC By-laws include which of the following areas?

• A. Definitions, commissions administration, Licensing, Fees, Real Estate Recovery Fund, Trust Accounts and record keeping, Conduct and trade practices, discipline
• B. Advertising standards only
• C. Property tax regulations
• D. Mortgage underwriting guidelines

Answer: (A)

NSREC By-laws establish the regulatory framework that governs real estate practice in Nova Scotia. They define terms, outline how the commission administers licensing and fees, and specify financial safeguards like the Real Estate Recovery Fund. They also set requirements for trust accounts and record keeping, and establish standards for conduct, trade practices, and the disciplinary process for licensees. This broad, comprehensive scope is what makes the listed areas the correct description of NSREC By-laws. Advertising standards alone is too narrow; property tax regulations are government fiscal rules outside the by-laws, and mortgage underwriting guidelines come from lenders, not the regulatory by-laws of the real estate commission.
