The race is on! With the recent call of a provincial election to be held in BC on October 24, candidates are on the campaign trail – albeit in a new way during the COVID-19 pandemic – and they’re vying votes.

Trevor Hargreaves is the Vice President of Government Relations and Stakeholder Engagement at BCREA. On a daily basis, it’s his job to make sure what’s important to Realtors and the real estate sector is known by the government in power and the opposition.

And that doesn’t change during an election.

Trevor and his team, with their continued collaboration with BC’s real estate boards, have developed a set of key priority areas and recommendations for candidates to consider during the campaign period and for when voters fill their ballots.
