The case for turning REALTOR.ca into a taxable entity https://realestatemagazine.ca/the-case-for-turning-realtor-ca-into-a-taxable-entity/ https://realestatemagazine.ca/the-case-for-turning-realtor-ca-into-a-taxable-entity/#comments Mon, 16 Sep 2024 04:02:04 +0000 https://realestatemagazine.ca/?p=34346 James Mabey, Chair of CREA, on why the proposed transition for Canada's No.1 real estate platform is both responsible and forward thinking.

The post The case for turning REALTOR.ca into a taxable entity appeared first on REM.

]]>

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) recently released its latest episode of its REAL TIME podcast, featuring yours truly and CREA CEO, Janice Myers. On it, we discussed the draft business case CREA released earlier this summer that outlines a path forward for REALTOR.ca as a taxable entity and the incredible opportunity that could provide.

Here are two key takeaways of our podcast conversation:

  1. I fully acknowledge and understand any concern and hesitation that’s been shared with us about the proposed transition — REALTOR.ca is our most valuable asset. But I firmly believe our biggest risk is inaction. Let’s seize this incredible opportunity to ensure REALTOR.ca continues to be the trusted platform for all things Canadian real estate — with REALTORS® planted firmly at the centre of it all.
  2. If you haven’t already, please read the draft business case, which can be found at CREA.ca/REALTORinc.

REALTORS® have seen firsthand how REALTOR.ca has paved the way for how real estate is marketed and consumed in Canada. The platform has become a cornerstone of our industry, providing unparalleled value for both our business and consumers.

REALTOR.ca has evolved from a public-facing website to a comprehensive platform with integrated components, like native apps for iOS and Android for both REALTORS® and consumers, and the REALTOR.ca Data Distribution Facility (REALTOR.ca DDF®), which facilitates the consistent and accurate distribution of real estate listings across 10,000 advertisement, franchisor and member websites.

We are the proud owners of a REALTOR®-centric tool that commands more than 50 per cent market share¹ in Canada because of the trust and appreciation of the consumers who turn to it. As a business tool, there’s really no comparison to the reach and exposure it provides.
How we use the internet has changed dramatically in the last decade. You could even say that about five years ago. To help ensure REALTOR.ca’s future success, we need to change our approach to maintaining such a powerhouse platform.

Year after year, competition in the tech landscape grows, consumers expect more and operational costs increase. The status quo isn’t sustainable.

CREA is proposing it turn REALTOR.ca into a taxable, wholly owned subsidiary as both a financial necessity and a strategic move to secure REALTORS® at the centre of Canadian home buying, selling and renting journeys.

 

Why change is essential

 

Currently, REALTOR.ca is operated by CREA under its not-for-profit status. While this structure has served us well, under this model, REALTOR.ca isn’t able to pursue new revenue streams or engage in certain business-related activities. Transitioning to a business model would give us the ability to unlock that potential, better positioning us to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) conducted a comprehensive analysis and presented an overview of the opportunities this transition could offer in the draft business case.
Based on initial revenue and cost projections associated with the transition, operational enhancements and pursuit of revenue opportunities, REALTOR.ca as a taxable entity could generate significant estimated revenues that could help reduce dependence on CREA funding from member dues. In other words, the current allocation of my annual $310 CREA membership dues that goes to REALTOR.ca (43 per cent) could be reduced — allowing CREA to instead allocate those funds to equally impactful priorities like government relations work and enhancing and protecting the REALTOR® reputation.

The dollars and cents are important but shouldn’t be what motivate you to consider this path forward. What’s at stake here is possibility. We can’t do more or be more by staying the same. If we want to remain the go-to choice for consumers, we need to set ourselves up to take advantage of all that’s possible for REALTOR.ca.

 

The benefits of a taxable subsidiary

 

Turning REALTOR.ca into a taxable entity could create other key benefits:

  1. Innovation. With the ability to generate new sources of revenue, REALTOR.ca could adopt new technology like artificial intelligence, reach new demographics and introduce new features and tools.
  2. Enhanced value for REALTORS®. REALTOR.ca could deliver things like higher-quality leads, better tools for managing client relationships and new features that enhance the overall REALTOR® experience.
  3. Long-term viability. Creating opportunities for REALTOR.ca to better compete in today’s fast-paced tech landscape is crucial for maintaining our competitive edge and continuing to provide the high level of service that consumers have come to expect from the platform.
  4. Self-sustainability. Reducing REALTOR.ca’s dependence on member dues could enable CREA to allocate more resources to core services like government relations, professionalism and promoting and protecting the value of working with a REALTOR®. This could help better position both entities for greater long-term sustainability and success.

 

The path forward

 

I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with many across the REALTOR® association community on this proposed transition. We know what’s at stake.

As stewards of this powerhouse brand, we have a duty to ensure its future success. The proposed transformation is a responsible and forward-thinking step towards securing REALTOR.ca’s market leadership in an increasingly competitive environment while also keeping REALTORS® firmly at the heart of that future.

Once again, I encourage you to visit CREA.ca/REALTORinc to read the draft business case, check out the other resources and share your feedback. We’re excited about what’s possible and look forward to bringing this to a membership vote at CREA’s 2024 Special General Meeting on Wednesday, October 23.

James Mabey
CREA Chair

Revel expands East with Your Team Kingston https://realestatemagazine.ca/revel-expands-east-with-your-team-kingston/ https://realestatemagazine.ca/revel-expands-east-with-your-team-kingston/#respond Fri, 06 Sep 2024 04:02:21 +0000 https://realestatemagazine.ca/?p=33974 REVEL Realty and Your Team Kingston join forces to revolutionize real estate in Ontario.

The post Revel expands East with Your Team Kingston appeared first on REM.

]]>

REVEL Realty is excited to announce that Your Team Kingston has accepted an invitation to join forces with REVEL for the purpose of REVELutionizing real estate in the eastern quadrant of Ontario.

Having recently expanded into Northern Ontario, REVEL is ecstatic to expand its reach east of its Kawartha Lakes location. Led by Jeff and Shawna Easton, REVEL Kingston will find itself in the capable hands of proven leaders who are looking to make a major impact on their real estate marketplace.

Jeff Easton has successfully navigated the customer relationship field, for over 30 years, while earning industry awards and accolades along the way.

Passionate about providing the best possible real estate experience for his clients and dedicated to going above and beyond the duties of service as an agent, Jeff is proud to be recognized as a consecutive top producer in Kingston, attributing his success to the trust his clients have in him. A creative marketer and an avid contributor to local charities, Jeff Easton will officially assume the Head Coach position for REVEL’s foray into Kingston.

Shawna Easton joins REVEL Kingston from an award-winning five-year tenure in real estate, where she led Your Team Kingston as its team manager. Educated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Health Studies and Education from Queen’s University, and formerly a French immersion teacher, Shawna offers REVEL Kingston invaluable organizational expertise alongside acumen in implementing structure, systems and team-building foundations, which has culminated in the achievement of the Pinnacle Club Team award in 2022.

“We truly believe that our team and style are almost identical to REVEL’s mission statement, and we have the same pillars of success,” explains Jeff Easton. “We are a big believer in supporting local, giving back to our community and also hosting creative events. Culture is super important to us and being fresh and new is always top of mind. We believe REVEL is going to make a big splash in the real estate world, so we wanted to jump on that train and be part of the growth.”

REVEL sees exceptional promise through this official introduction to Eastern Ontario.

“We are honoured to have the reputation, credibility and legacy of Your Team Kingston join our family of agents and leaders at REVEL. We share business values and aspirations to make statements that extend beyond the scope of geographical location,” explains founder of REVEL, Ryan Serravalle. “Jeff and Shawna are true leaders, in every sense of the word, and at REVEL we hold agents and brokers who seek to take their professional growth in this direction in the highest regard.”

Such a bold and strategic easterly move will certainly contextualize REVEL’s influence throughout Ontario, empowering an already growing network of agents and office locations who benefit from the inclusion of reputable professionals like those at Your Team Kingston. REVEL believes that REVEL Kingston will maximize and inevitably leverage REVEL’s top 10 branding influence in Ontario to create opportunities for current and future agents and affiliations looking to Join The REVELution. REVEL is proud to welcome Jeff, Shawna, Hannah, Gerald and Angelica, and sees incredible potential for growth on the horizon for this venture.

“We are excited to offer what we do best at REVEL to Jeff and Shawna from Your Team Kingston,” adds Nicki Serravalle, founder of REVEL. “At REVEL, and as we celebrate 10 reputable years in the real estate business this year, we are ecstatic to invite Jeff and Shawna into our family, knowing, with full confidence, that we can achieve more together based on our team-first approach to real estate.”

From its inaugural launch in 2014, founders of REVEL, Ryan and Nicki Serravalle, have built an alluring brand that has inspired a demographic of real estate professionals, like Your Team Kingston, who aspire to conduct business in a REVELutionary manner.

Attracting some of the highest-selling teams in the nation, while most recently implementing REVshare and cap commission programs, REVEL has established itself as a promising option for real estate agents, brokers and all-star teams like Your Team Kingston who are seeking to take the next step in their career paths: leadership, ownership of or partnership with a REVEL office.

The post REVEL STYLE magazine commemorates 10th year anniversary in business appeared first on REM.

]]>

As the publication of REVEL STYLE magazine, issue viiii, approaches its print date, the celebration of 10 years in business continues for REVEL REALTY INC. with the anticipation of this year’s launch party in October.

A major emblem of the REVEL brand, REVEL STYLE magazine represents much more than the marketing personality of a brokerage that has expanded rapidly, over its 10 years of existence, to include 30 offices across Ontario and a growing membership of quality real estate agents and brokers. It represents a shared vision: to REVELutionize real estate.

With this in mind, why does a brokerage that has always been on the right angle of growth projections continue to publish a lifestyle magazine geared toward real estate aficionados?

Intended from the beginning to provide another dimension to a dynamic brand name, REVEL STYLE magazine has definitely evolved over the past decade. The initial mission of REVEL STYLE magazine was to document real estate culture and all of the associations derived from purchasing a property, no matter what the use or location.

In the context of nearly 10 years in business, however, REVEL STYLE magazine has also become a documentation of company growth, brand influence and corporate creativity over the years, not to mention a lightning rod symbolizing the energy of the REVEL brand, which continues to inspire agents, clients and real estate investors to see the potential lifestyle opportunities provided by an affiliation with real estate.

As agents and brokers alike continue to put the magazine to use for listing appointments, at open houses or to represent REVEL culture at industry conference events, REVEL STYLE magazine has travelled extensively as a portable brand ambassador, inviting colleagues, professionals, leaders and friends into a welcoming real estate culture driven by a modern vision and grounded by a desire to give back to the communities REVEL serves on a day-to-day basis.

As a result, REVEL STYLE magazine has become a voice for the REVELution, announcing new trends in the industry, while introducing proven innovations REVEL has invented to better the way real estate is transacted in the country. For REVEL’s growing network of clients, it has also opened doors to communication, camaraderie, collaboration with other realtors and brokerages and, ultimately, a visualization of the future, prognosticating movements and fashionable statements in the most modern, stylish manner.

So, REVEL STYLE magazine has become a powerful marketing tool at the brokerage level but a stronger voice on the grander, industry stage. Not only has it provided another narrative level to justify the relevance of independent brands in real estate circles, but also it offers a platform to exhibit likeminded ambitions and celebratory aspirations that should be associated with the world of real estate, set apart from the doom and gloom of interest rate conversations or statistical housing projections.

Most of all, REVEL STYLE magazine gives voice to lifestyles contingent upon the practice of selling and purchasing real estate. It communicates a spirit of excitement and anticipation, similar to the wave of emotions prevalent in the search for a dream home. It also depicts an attention to detail and pays homage to creative trends that are impacting lifestyles conducive to the varying perceptions of what constitutes a home, wherever it may be.

Further, the magazine imparts credibility to REVEL’s clients and colleagues, while setting a new standard for marketing in this ever-competitive arena of promotion. Best of all, it shows that REVEL cares enough to offer the very best efforts to advance the real estate interests of their clients, which in turn allows REVEL to REVELutionize real estate in every dimension of this business.

Brokerage has accepted an invitation to join forces with REVEL for the purpose of forming an alliance that will REVELutionize real estate in Niagara and beyond.

REVEL Realty, an independent real estate brokerage with headquarters based in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is excited to announce that McGarr Realty Corp. Brokerage has accepted an invitation to join forces with REVEL for the purpose of forming an alliance that will REVELutionize real estate in Niagara and beyond.

Founded by Sally McGarr in 1988, McGarr Realty Corp. Brokerage has thrived for over 36 years, earning a distinguished reputation as a trusted name in the industry while establishing itself as a pillar of the Niagara real estate community. Known for its localized expertise and global reach, McGarr Realty embodies a commitment to collaborative partnerships and team-driven principles, personalized client care, industry-leading marketing and exemplary service — values that align seamlessly with REVEL’s core business philosophy and mission statement.

Joining forces with this tradition of excellence and acknowledging the incredible legacy of Sally McGarr, ingratiated further by her daughter Raiana, is an honour for REVEL and one that is destined to create growth, prosperity and a continuation of the McGarr narrative in the Niagara region.

Esteemed as professionals offering elite client service across a spectrum of real estate interests, most notably luxury properties, McGarr Realty regards an alliance with REVEL as a transformative partnership. REVEL has always respected the brand, reputation and acumen of McGarr Realty, one of Niagara’s formidable real estate names, and continues to regard the importance of maintaining the McGarr brand presence as it transitions into a new chapter of growth in its illustrious history.

Such a movement will inevitably leverage REVEL’s focus on education, training, mentorship and creative marketing, not to mention REVEL’s top 10 branding influence in the province of Ontario, to create opportunities for agents, affiliations and client networks throughout the province and beyond. REVEL sees great promise in welcoming the McGarr brand into the family and insists that the personality and authenticity of the McGarr name will remain intact and primed for more growth and prosperity in this next phase of its business trajectory.

“We are honoured to have the reputation, credibility and legacy of Sally McGarr join REVEL. Before we began REVEL, we were inspired by Sally McGarr and her influence on the local Niagara real estate market. We share business values and are like-minded where it concerns our astute attention to detail, especially in the provision of service to our valued clients and colleagues,” explains founder of REVEL, Ryan Serravalle. “Sally continues to be an influential and trailblazing force in the independent brokerage space, and as an independent brokerage, we truly respect and admire all that she has done to pave the way for the impact of higher-level independent brokerages, like REVEL.”

“We are excited to offer what we do best at REVEL to Sally McGarr and her brokerage of experienced agents with the hope that we will push each other to truly REVELutionize the way real estate is sold in Niagara, and beyond our local borders,” adds Nicki Serravalle, founder of REVEL. “At REVEL, and as we celebrate 10 reputable years in the real estate business this year, we are ecstatic to embrace McGarr Realty with the confidence that we can achieve more together based on our team-first approach to real estate.”

A credible, promising option as a next step for agents, teams, brokers and brokerages

From its inaugural launch in 2014, founders of REVEL, Ryan and Nicki Serravalle, have built an alluring brand, which has inspired a demographic of real estate professionals, like those at McGarr Realty, who aspire to conduct business in a REVELutionary manner. Attracting some of the highest-selling teams in the nation, while developing a contingent of industry-leading agents through its innovative REVEL Ed and REVEL Mentorship programs, REVEL has established itself as a credible and promising option for reputable real estate agents, teams, brokers and independent brokerages alike who are seeking to take the next step in their career paths — the leadership or ownership of, or partnership with, a REVEL office.

In this ambitious tradition, Sally McGarr and her daughter Raiana will lead McGarr Realty under the REVEL umbrella, striving to build upon the impressive foundation of 36 marquee years in the real estate business, while leveraging the larger support system within the independent brokerage space that is REVEL Realty. This expansion promises growth across the Niagara Region for both prominent brands and creates a collaboration that strengthens market share and the calibre of service provided to our clients and salespeople alike.

“We were approached by many brokerages,” explains McGarr, “but we appreciated the family atmosphere at REVEL, and how respectful they are of the McGarr brand and all that it stands for. We arrived at the same conclusion: that we are stronger together. We sincerely believe that this relationship will benefit everyone collectively.”

REVEL expects to foster more growth for McGarr and will provide a support system conducive to increased sales success, brand recognition and strengthened agent development.

“We respect Sally and Raiana as intelligent, ambitious business people with a progressive vision that matches the energy and spirit we have tried to infuse into every one of our expansion offices,” explains Nicki Serravalle. “Sally McGarr is a proven and reputable real estate name and her alignment with REVEL harmonizes with our philosophy and ability to attract strong local professionals across Niagara, and throughout the province.”

Never a brokerage to back down from growth, provision of opportunity or expansion, even in tough times, REVEL has always created its own space in competitive real estate markets throughout Ontario. As a result of this commitment to creating opportunities for like-minded professionals, the brand continues to attract top-performing and community-respected agents and independent brokerages, like McGarr Realty, that look to diversify their business, real estate and investment interests through the leadership of a REVEL office.

Convert your business into a sellable asset https://realestatemagazine.ca/convert-your-business-into-a-sellable-asset/ https://realestatemagazine.ca/convert-your-business-into-a-sellable-asset/#respond Mon, 17 Jun 2024 04:02:25 +0000 https://realestatemagazine.ca/?p=31406 Have you ever wanted to take your expertise and convert it into something you can sell, but you keep pushing the idea aside?

The post Convert your business into a sellable asset appeared first on REM.

]]>

I know you are already at the top of your game.

But what are you doing with all of that knowledge and expertise?

Most realtors will work hard, managing the ups and downs of the market, and then, when they’re ready to pack it in (way past when most people do), they hand their prized database to another realtor and hope that they work it the same way they did.

And 100 per cent of the time, the adopting realtor just … doesn’t.

Because they’re not you.

All that work you put into those relationships is now in jeopardy, no matter how hard you try to get the adopting realtor to sell and manage like “you.”

Sure, you can groom another realtor to watch what you do, but unless there’s a structure they can follow, they’re going to get it wrong.

Until now.

Join us on June 19 at 1:00 pm EST for a masterclass hosted by Rebecca Mountain, where she’ll show you how to use a model-based system that easily captures your expertise, style, processes and systems so that you can:

  • Train your current (or future) team on how to sell, build relationships and close business just like you (without training and training and training …)
  • Capture what’s truly unique about how you go about your business (it’s a commoditized industry — but YOU are not a commodity!)
  • Translate that knowledge into a sellable, valuable asset so when you’re ready to pack it in, do something else or just scale out of your business, you can … AND get a good price for all the work you put into your business.

There’s even one more option — and it’s totally up to you if you want to take it.

You see, realtors like you, no matter how good you are, are at the mercy of market fluctuations. You may fare better than most, but your income is going to swing.

What if you could smooth it out?

You can when you capture your IP (intellectual property) because you can turn that into a teaching asset.

And for that, there are about 17 ways to do it.

Coach, consult, weekly Q&As, video how-to library, groups, speaking, writing a book …

How much time you want to put into this option is 100 per cent up to you (and ALL of them make money).

Plus, when you have a profit-making teachable asset AND a sellable business model:

  • Your income fluctuations become a LOT less severe
  • Your baseline income is predictable and manageable
  • You have more time to devote to this (if you want) since your team is following your model
  • You can make as much or as little as you want based on the ideal lifestyle you’re trying to live.

My four adult kids will struggle to find places to live in the GTA. It’s brutal.

If I were a realtor in your shoes, I’d use this money to help them buy a place.

Or go on vacations and fly first class.

Or travel more often, knowing I won’t be tied to my phone (because my team just follows my model).

I can spend time with my friends or do more of what I love — whatever that is!

So, let me summarize this for you. When you capture your awesomeness in a model that others can follow (internal or external), you get one big fat juicy thing:

CHOICE.

Want to work until you’re 70? Go for it. Or don’t.

Want to make extra money to smooth the dips and peaks? Sure! How much would help?

Want to hire people and NOT have to spend three weeks training them, repeating yourself over and over again? Done!

If you’re still reading, then you definitely need to attend this masterclass.

Rebecca will explain it all to you — how to do it, the steps to create the model and then carve out time to work less but make more … everything.

It’s coming to you June 19th.

Rebecca has done this for realtors, brokers, team leads and CEOs just like you. She’s done it in her own business. It works.

You get to pick the path you take, but the result is the same. Choice, extra income, peace of mind knowing you don’t have to work forever.

Everyone wins. Want to be one of the winners too?

As REVEL breaches its 10th year anniversary in business, the onus on the improvement of systems, infrastructure and processes has become a paramount priority to continue building and accommodating the expansion of offices throughout Ontario and Canada.

From its corporate think tank, REVEL has concluded that a 100 per cent commission cap structure combined with a revenue sharing system, coined REVshare, is the next step to providing our current agents additional revenue, increased business productivity and tangible benefits from the expansion of agent referral networks. Having already added Kathleen Black coaching to supplement the REVEL ED curriculum and mentorship programs, REVEL is committed to improving the quality of business for a REVEL agent at every stage of their real estate career path.

 

The inspiration for REVshare

 

After analyzing sales data over multiple sales years set against recent market challenges and statistical fluctuations, REVEL has devised a unique agent referral system that promotes the growth of agent success and financial security by enabling alternative income streams through commission caps and agent referral bonuses.

To prepare for this new company initiative, REVEL has already issued a very competitive 100 per cent cap commission program that rewards consistent sales productivity from year to year. A commission cap, according to REVEL’s research, will motivate agents to focus on sales while inspiring them to invest their savings into their own investment and/or real estate portfolios.

A commission cap income retention system provides a purposeful, alternative, revenue-sharing foundation to build income. In this capacity, REVEL welcomes REVShare.

REVShare is an incentive-based revenue-sharing system that initiates a stream of income derived from the referral of “reputable” agents to the REVEL family. REVEL sees this program as an opportunity to strengthen an already robust mentorship program while widening the scope of the REVEL network of influence. Adding key players to the REVEL family provides additional possibilities outside of selling, introducing mentorship and leadership opportunities under the supportive umbrella of REVEL’s 27 office locations throughout Ontario.

REVShare, plucked directly from REVEL’s brand namesake, is an extension of the team principles celebrated in Revel’s mission statement. It’s designed to encourage and strengthen the connections made with reputable, cooperating agents, who may be considering joining the REVELution, or becoming a member of a progressive brokerage that’s always shifting and creating for the purpose of providing better opportunities to its agents.

Finally, REVShare is designed to motivate agents to refer fellow colleagues to REVEL for the purpose of building a network of like-minded REALTORS who are motivated to bolster business relationships while monetizing their intrinsic value, strengthening referral networks in the process. Such referral values will function with commission caps to both save and trigger income streams that can serve to fund additional real estate investments or increased retirement savings for REVEL agents.

This investment by REVEL into its agents fulfills yet another educational promise embedded in the company’s mission statement, which is to put education into practice. REVshare is a concept put into action that will strive to create sales sustainability for REVEL agents as they diversify, adapt and grow beyond current and future market challenges.
