100%. Classic example of why empires fail. Abolsute power corrupts and causes leaders to lose sense of reality.

I heard point2homes is backing away from CREA listings. Not sure what they reason is but I guess that’s another relationship that’s another working gone to the drain!

There are times when a property is under contract, but is being prepped to sell needing repairs, staging, etc., restricting the time frame allotted impedes the ability to prepare the listing.

Other times there are personal, confidential and security factors to consider that affect the ability or safety to be publicly marketed.

The rules being brought forward make it look that CREA is selfish towards their growth and protection and could care less about the needs of the people it’s supposed to serve.

Further to the comment on OREA dues, the vote was ‘not’ about an increase in dues but about providing what they called a benefit that was not beneficial to all because of the discriminatory age restrictions and create an income stream for OREA.

I wish to remain anonymous for same reasons mentioned in this thread.

Let’s come up with the most anti-competitive policy our Oligarchy can imagine and wipe out 70 years of the useful consumer choice of Exclusive Listings.

Let’s mandate Mandatory Health Insurance to obtain membership in said Oligarchy.

Let’s allow a couple of Members who use the tool of Board Governance to move our mls software of choice to the Biggest Bully MLS in the nation without members voting to change.

Let’s start suing lowly members, threaten businesses with the loss of realtor.ca access, at the same time lawsuits have only begun across North America.

Well you cannot say you were not warned of this years ago.

You kept your head in the sand.
