Canadian Realtor Employment Question

[Justin Veldman]

My question is, can I be an independent realtor and have access to the
MLS and write my own offers, without being employed at a brokerage?

I am currently considering taking an online course through Humber College to begin acquiring my Realtors License while I'm off of work during quarantine, but had a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. I am currently employed with full time with the military, but have been considering my license for a while now. I wasn't necessarily considering selling houses other than my own.

So is it possible to have those accesses, as long as I pay my E and O Insurance and register with RECO another way without a brokerage?

Any info would be appreciated.
