When a listing displays the Verified by AlbertaLands.ca badge, it means our team has completed the following multi-point checks:
- Owner Name Matching: We cross-reference the name on the municipal Tax Notice with the Government-issued Photo ID provided by the lister. We accept reasonable variations (e.g., middle initials, common legal name abbreviations, or standard name changes).
- Official Land Title Verification: Using the SPIN2 platform or Teranet Alberta, we pull the official Land Title from the Alberta Land Titles Office based on the legal land description or roll number. We verify that the registered owner matches the person posting the listing and check for any recent transfers or obvious conflicting caveats.
These steps help add a layer of credibility and transparency to private (non-REALTOR®) listings.
AlbertaLands.ca offers a “REALTOR® Verified” badge on listings posted by licensed real estate professionals. This badge indicates that the listing was posted by a verified REALTOR® who has successfully completed our basic identity and RECA membership verification process.
- We have confirmed their identity matches their REALTOR® credentials.
- The listing appears under their professional account.
This badge helps buyers quickly identify listings handled by licensed professionals.
