Below is a letter written by Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) president Cathy Polan, which was sent to the association’s membership and obtained by Real Estate Magazine.    I’ve been a Realtor for over 16 years, and in that time, I have never seen anything more deplorable than what I’ve seen happen with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) in the wake of the iPro Realty Ltd. scandal. Thousands of agents and consumers have been left without commissions, without deposits, and without a hope for the future. I know you are all constantly receiving troubling information on this matter,…

Recent public statements from association leadership have echoed this outrage, calling the scandal “deplorable” and pledging to do everything possible to prevent a repeat. In the same breath, however, those statements concede that associations lack authority to intervene directly. That contradiction, angry but powerless, deserves scrutiny. What almost no one has covered is the irony of what followed: boards and associations rushing into the spotlight to demand change.   The letter   On…
