This year we welcomed eight new recipients to this prestigious list, with career goals that could impact the real estate industry in the future.
Creating a Brighter Tomorrow
Supporting Habitat for Humanity GTA Build Days is one of the many ways our REALTORS® make affordable homeownership a reality. Our Members joined Habitat for Humanity for the annual Build Day on October 29. Since 2014, more than 140 TRREB Members have participated in 20 build days, totalling over 1,000 volunteer hours. More than $1.3 million has also been donated by TRREB on behalf of Members to Habitat GTA since 2004.
Building Community
TRREB is proud to continue supporting community-sponsored events across the GTA, reinforcing our commitment to giving back and building stronger communities. This year we sponsored the Canada Day event in Richmond Hill, the Canadian Food Truck Festival in Brampton and the Distillery Winter Village in downtown Toronto. By partnering with local communities we highlight the important role REALTORS® play beyond real estate- supporting vibrant, inclusive, and thriving neighborhoods.
A Trusted Voice in Real Estate
Guiding and Leading
TRREB’s Board of Directors provides strategic leadership and guidance to ensure the organization continues to serve its Members and broader community effectively. They also dedicated their time to participate in strategic planning sessions and connecting with our Members face-to-face. The Board plays a vital role in shaping TRREB’s priorities, overseeing initiatives that support REALTORS® and advancing professionalism in real estate.
Innovation in Every Step
Building Partnerships
TRREB continues to build strong, global partnerships with organizations such as Florida REALTORS®, MIAMI REALTORS®, and global real estate organizations from Europe, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and new opportunities for members. More recently, TRREB signed a YPN Global Reciprocal Agreement with MIAMI REALTORS® to grow our YPN network. By working together, we not only support REALTORS® in serving clients with international needs but also promote innovation and professionalism across the real estate industry worldwide.
Advocating for Change
Through research, policy recommendations, and collaboration with decision-makers and other industry stakeholders, TRREB champions solutions that address housing affordability, supply, taxation, sustainability and fair business regulations. This year, we successfully pushed for the reduction of onerous government charges and taxes on homes, As-of-Right Zoning to boost multiplex housing, innovative housing solutions including prefab homes and multi-unit residential buildings (MURB) tax incentives, and fair real estate business regulations, including the Trust in Real Estate Services Act (TRESA). TRREB is also spearheading a Housing Coalition with industry partners in renewed effort to reignite momentum in housing development. By advocating for fair and forward-thinking policies, TRREB works to strengthen the real estate profession while helping to build vibrant, inclusive, and accessible communities across the GTA.
Strength and Innovation
TRREB is recognized as a global leader in MLS® Systems. This year we hosted the Council of Mulitiple Listings Service Annual Conference and International MLS Forum where TRREB showcased its leadership, strength, and innovation. CMLS Chair and TRREB CEO, John DiMichele took the stage to address the delagtion highlighting the power of collaboration, technology, and policy.
