A Message from our President

Congratulations on choosing to become a REALTOR®. I’m excited to have you join this incredibly rewarding and enriching profession. I was once where you are – a new REALTOR® eager to help Canadians attain the dream of home ownership. Thanks to the great support I’ve received from my local, provincial and national associations, I’ve been able to build a successful business in this fast-paced ever-changing profession.

One of the OREA services I think you’ll find most valuable as a new REALTOR® is the live webinars and on-demand tutorials on Standard Forms and Clauses. The real estate industry is continually changing, but you don’t need to worry about staying up to date. OREA keeps you informed of forms changes as they happen, so you are always in the know.

Make the most of your membership as you build and succeed in your business. I wish you all the best as you help Ontario consumers find the home of their dreams.

Sincerely

Sean Morrison
2020 OREA President
