Dear OREA Leaders,
Later today we will be sending the attached all member email, notifying our members of the upcoming townhall on the new REBBA – The Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2019 (TRESA).
The townhall will be taking place on Tuesday, December 17th, 2019 at 12:30 p.m. EST, where we will be delivering an important update on the status of TRESA and what it means for REALTORS® across Ontario.
The townhall will be hosted by OREA CEO Tim Hudak, OREA President Karen Cox and OREA President-Elect Sean Morrison.
TRESA has proposed several significant changes to Ontario’s real estate laws that will impact Ontario REALTORS®, so it is important that our members join us for this discussion.
Specifically, we will address proposed changes in the Bill that, if passed, will raise professional standards, strengthen consumer protection, and create a stronger business environment for Ontario REALTORS®, including finally allowing REALTORS® to form Personal Real Estate Corporations.
We will also be responding to members questions and we ask that questions be sent to us by emailing governmentrelations@orea.com by Friday, December 13th, 2019.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you require additional information.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Jason Lagerquist
Head of Government Relations
