OREA volunteers keep the wheels turning

More than 140 dedicated real estate professionals volunteered their time over the past year to keep the Ontario Real Estate Association running smoothly for its members.

More than 140 dedicated real estate professionals volunteered their time over the past year to keep the Ontario Real Estate Association running smoothly for its members.

Since OREA’s inception 82 years ago, real estate professionals have given countless volunteer hours to improve the profession and provide members with the best service their organization can provide.

Everything from changing laws to ensuring real estate education meets the highest standards of the industry to shaping the future of the profession has been tackled on the agendas of committees and task forces over the years.

“Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our profession,” said OREA President Tamer Fahmi. “They are the reason our provincial association is so great and we could not provide such a high level of service without their efforts. Although they are giving their time, most of our volunteers will tell you that the opportunities to learn new skills and to network and make new friends is well worth it. Volunteering gives people the chance to serve their association and take an active role in shaping the future of our business,” he said.
