Volunteers key in year of change

Have you ever wondered if your contribution to the profession could make a difference? This past year, over 140 real estate professionals dedicated their time to the Ontario Real Estate Association, and found out that, yes, they could effect change.

Have you ever wondered if your contribution to the profession could make a difference? This past year, over 140 real estate professionals dedicated their time to the Ontario Real Estate Association, and found out that, yes, they could effect change.

Their commitment and involvement helped the association push changes to the property assessment process, and get an extension on compliance deadlines for new legislation. Their involvement also helped raise funds to find shelter for those in dire need.

“This has been a year of great change and I just want to say thank you to all our volunteers,” said OREA President Tim Lee. “We have made great strides this year in no small part due to volunteers who serve their communities and peers with diligence and integrity.”

OREA would like to thank the following volunteers:
