Maintaining the integrity of our industry and professionalism are not merely goals – they are part of TRREB’s ongoing journey. Hear from TRREB CEO John DiMichele and TRREB President Jennifer Pearce on our latest accomplishments. Plus, learn about all the ways we’re getting involved in our communities and upholding professional standards.
Striving for Professionalism
Empowering Futures
Investing in Youth
We believe in the power of education and supporting the next generation. Since 2007, TRREB’s Past President’s Scholarship has awarded $244,000 to 66 remarkable students, providing financial assistance to pursue higher education. This year, we welcomed seven new students with inspiring futures to this prestigious list of winners.
Supporting Community
TRREB donated $35,000 to the Red Cross for the Alberta Wildfires Appeal, totalling $105,000 when you add federal and Alberta government’s matching donations. These donations assisted those impacted in Jasper and other affected areas in Alberta with immediate and ongoing relief.
Guiding and Leading
“We’re ending off the year on accomplishments that empower our Members to take their business to the next level with cutting-edge technology and enhanced services. Through tuning into focus groups and closely listening to suggestions and feedback, we turned ideas into action. As we look ahead, more is to come, including the return of TRREB REALTOR® QUEST on May 14 and 15, 2025. This signature event will mark where professionalism meets excellence alongside inspiring speakers and an immersive trade show floor.”
TRREB President Jennifer Pearce
“At TRREB, we are enhancing integrity and shaping the future of real estate through innovative technology, growing our Professional Development lineup, and working with other associations to expand the data our Members need. Our Members receive the necessary training to conduct their business efficiently and successfully while upholding a higher standard of professionalism. That’s why consumers know they can trust a TRREB REALTOR®. We’re committed to helping them excel for years to come.”
TRREB CEO John DiMichele
Celebrating Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors play a key role in the overall success of TRREB. Together, they help maintain a high degree of professionalism and ensure that Members have access to ample learning opportunities. The Board continue to strengthen the tools and services available to our Members, including pursuing new MLS® System enhancements to provide more comprehensive information to REALTORS® and consumers.
Making Progress
Advancing Policies
TRREB is committed to working with all levels of government to advance policies that empower housing innovation and improve affordability. This year, TRREB helped deliver several major policy advancements, such as advocating for Bill 185, eliminating the mortgage stress test requirements for both insured and uninsured borrowers, enhanced focus on transit-oriented development around higher density housing, and the extension of 30-year insured mortgage amortizations to all first-time homebuyers. As we move forward, our strategic priority remains top of mind for a brighter and more sustainable real estate industry.
