Continuing the Joint Meeting Conversation

Navigating changes to REDMA

January 23 marked the first joint meeting of real estate board and British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) leadership of 2019. We hold regular joint meetings to gather input from real estate board leadership on important initiatives underway at BCREA and build stronger relationships.

Our President James Palanio welcomed more than 30 real estate board leaders who all share a commitment to leading a collective voice on issues important to REALTORS® around the province. CEO Darlene Hyde shared updates on two key initiatives going on at BCREA: the revitalization of the Professional Development Program; and our ongoing efforts to help REALTORS® better understand and meet their Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) reporting responsibilities.

The feedback received from all real estate boards on the work that's been done was overwhelmingly positive. Although 2018 was an eventful year for REALTORS® and managing brokers, we are incredibly grateful for the engagement each real estate board has contributed during a period of unprecedented change. We look forward to continuing the conversation and working collaboratively on issues important to REALTORS® in 2019.

Your feedback is always valued—please don't hesitate to reach out to your local board or BCREA!
