Legal Forum reaches milestone
Legal Forum, one of the most popular features on the Ontario Real Estate Association website, has received its 5,000th question! Legal Forum is a resource which enables members to submit general questions online about real estate and ethics and receive answers from a legal expert at no charge to them. This unique online service reached the milestone on April 30, and offers legal perspectives on real estate situations that you may encounter in the field. Legal Forum does not provide legal advice or opinions, nor does it deal with specific situations. It was established 12 years ago and has been an OREA success story ever since. But don't just take our word for it...
“Legal Forum is incredibly helpful. As the manager of a large office, I have relied on it for many years and it helps me do my job better.” - Jack Fusco, Richmond Hill real estate broker

A major study explored solutions, including relocation, renovation or expansion. The travel patterns of staff and students to and from OREA were examined and a decision was made to retain the existing site but to expand and renovate.
