The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) is warning people not to engage in real estate transactions with Baljit Singh Dhaliwal. Neither he nor his company, Global West Real Estate Developments Limited, are registered to trade in real estate.
RECO revoked the registration of Dhaliwal on Jan. 16. RECO says the proposal to revoke, which was not appealed by Dhaliwal, alleged that he was improperly handling trust funds.
RECO says it received new information on Feb. 4 about a trust deposit on a real estate transaction where Dhaliwal was the listing and selling representative. Following further investigation, RECO located an account containing consumer funds.
It says that based on suspicions of ongoing illegal activity, RECO issued a freeze order on a bank account of Global West Real Estate Developments Limited that was being operated by Dhaliwal.
RECO says it is continuing its investigation and “taking appropriate action under the law. Anyone who has a complaint regarding their real estate transaction with Baljit Singh Dhaliwal should contact RECO.”
Dhaliwal was previously registered with Global West Realty Limited and Century 21 New Stars Realty. Both of these brokerages remain registered, says RECO.
