It looks like the Canadian Real Estate sales industry may be in for a bit of a shakeup.
Some people are already panicking. But with any change comes a good side and a bad.
It’s about time we have some choice within the Ontario/Canadian market with regards to who and how we work with a system that has been in place before I was born. I agree with your statement around developing a system and profiting. But this is a database, and was it really created by the CREA. Or were they just using a standard that was already out there and leveraging their organization.
I know this might sound odd. But I might compare it to buying a landline phone service before deregulation. So I agree with those new opportunities.
And who knows perhaps the MLS service could offer FSBO access, as they already do in SPAIN (AMLASpain). Maybe they invented the MLS?
My 2 cents.
Wow – rereading that last paragraph again I was a little harsh.
I’m just looking forward to seeing a little more innovation and options with regards to consumer choice.
Love your video posts!
lol…..no way, you weren’t harsh.
Your phone analogy is a good one that I hadn’t thought of.
I tend to agree with you, with the speed at which information flows in today’s world it seems archaic to have a system without much flexibility. I know that opinion might not be popular amongst people with a real estate license but I think it allows both Realtors and consumers to move forward to create new, better relationships.
Thanks for the feedback on the posts, we definitely appreciate your comments.
