We Support The Report Of the Independent Advisory Board and Its Recommendations.
Earlier this year, this province was rocked by the news that there were a handful of realtors who engaged in the practice of “shadow flipping”: homes were being resold for a profit without the buyer’s knowledge. This unethical action by a few unscrupulous members helped distort the image and reputation of the 12,800+ hardworking and knowledgeable professionals of the real estate industry in this province, who act with integrity.
The Provincial Government stepped in and promised to crack down on this practice and work on improving consumer protection. It appointed an independent advisory group to work on recommendations to address the controversies and issues facing the real estate industry in BC.
After 4 months of deliberation, the Real Estate Council of BC’s Independent Advisory Group last week released a 64-page report with 28 recommendations that were immediately adopted by the Provincial Government. It will create a new system of government regulation using these recommendations.
Together with the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver and its members, we wholeheartedly support these recommendations. We believe they are beneficial and progressive to the profession and we support their implementation as soon as possible.
Here are a few of the main recommendations worth noting:
