Meet BCREA's Vice President of Government Relations and Stakeholder Engagement

BCREA would like to give a warm welcome to our new Vice President of Government Relations and Stakeholder Engagement, Trevor Hargreaves! Trevor brings a wealth of knowledge to our Government Relations department, with wide-ranging experience in government and public relations and strategic communications, all necessary components to successful advocacy.

A seasoned pro in the Government Relations arena
Trevor is no stranger to advocacy in a complex industry, with his most recent role being Director of Communications, Government and Public Relations at the British Columbia Dairy Association. In this role, Trevor represented dairy farmers across BC and advocated for the dairy industry with all levels of government, media, special interest groups and other industry associations. Trevor will work in a similar capacity to ensure the voices of BC REALTORS® are heard loud and clear.

Looking ahead: proactive measures and a united voice
As Vice President of Government Relations and Stakeholder Engagement, Trevor will take a proactive approach to asserting our policy positions and getting ahead of issues affecting REALTORS® and real estate in BC.

He will also work towards uniting the voice of organized real estate in BC. "I very much respect that the real estate boards are concerned about the regionality of their issues, but many issues currently facing the industry are really provincial in scope whether that's immediately apparent or not," says Trevor. "My goal is to get us to a point where we're increasingly working to find solutions with a united voice."

To accomplish this, there will be ample consultation and dialogue with the real estate boards. "Guidance and input from the boards is essential to aligning our efforts and steering our industry perspectives in a collective and informed manner," Trevor adds. "I look forward to working collaboratively with the boards to achieve our shared advocacy goals."

We are so excited to welcome Trevor to the team, and to continue advocating on behalf of all BC REALTORS® with Trevor leading the charge.
