How many realtors are there in Ottawa?

We count 2,033 realtors on published brokerage rosters in Ottawa as of 2026-11-02. Some agents here are counted as of an earlier read: realtor.ca, last read August 18, 2026. That figure comes from re-reading the brokerage directories themselves every week or two — not from an annual survey — so it moves when the market does.

How Ottawa's realtors split between brokerages

REMAX Hallmark Realty Group is the largest brokerage in Ottawa, with 305 of the 2,033 agents we track there (15.0%). The top three hold 40.9% between them.

How we count — and why it differs from CREA

CREA reported roughly 158,000 REALTOR® members nationally as of early 2026. That is a license count — everyone holding membership, whether or not they are actively attached to an office roster. We measure something different: agents actually published on brokerage office rosters across the brokerage networks and independents we track, re-read every week or two. Rosters exclude license-parkers and pick up new agents only when their office lists them, so our number runs lower and moves with every scan. Neither number is wrong; they answer different questions. If you are sizing a market, licensing tells you how many people could practice — rosters tell you who is actually on a team today.
