It’s been some time now since we first talked in May 2006 about the importance of Realtors being able to incorporate their practices in Ontario. You may recall that you responded to my phone call about this issue by promptly assigning Don Procter to write a story for REM. Imagine my surprise when it came out as a full page article the following month!
As it turns out, your article served as an excellent grassroots springboard, which led to a full-fledged effort over the following few years, now spearheaded by OREA no less, to have the legislation (REBBA 2002) changed to allow personal corporations for Realtors.
In fact, that very issue headlined the lobbying efforts at OREA’s PAC Days conference recently.
From the Realtors of Ontario – thanks, Jim, for taking an interest.
