Laws changed, homes built, thanks to volunteers

This past year, more than 130 dedicated real estate professionals have volunteered their time in order to make the Ontario Real Estate Association work well for its members.

This past year, more than 130 dedicated real estate professionals have volunteered their time in order to make the Ontario Real Estate Association work well for its members.

Their efforts have helped communicate the profession's interests and concerns on insurance and property data, have helped improve curriculum and have helped to provide homes to those in need, to mention just a few activities.

“We have a great provincial association, and one of our strengths is our volunteer force,” says OREA President Laura Leyser. “Our volunteers are working at every level–from representing our interests to government, to improving service to the profession, to reaching out to the community and serving the public,” she says. “But for me, volunteering is also about making a connection with other REALTORS. The collaboration and encouragement of others has made the experience priceless.”
