What's Next
OREA continues to look ahead to phase three of TRESA. Some of the topics that we are looking to work with the Ontario government on include:
- Regulations to support specialty certifications for REALTORS® and brokers
- Improved continuing education
- Rules for new administrative money penalties for black-and-white violations of the Code or other TRESA regulations
- Updating RECO’s registration process to reduce red tape for REALTORS®
We will be pushing back against any cooling-off periods that allow a buyer to back out of a real estate transaction. The experience in British Columbia has shown that the only people benefiting from cooling-off periods are speculators who are flooding the market. A cooling-off period for resale homes in Ontario would be bad for both buyers and sellers.
