Calling Out the BS in Canadian Real Estate: What Every Agent Deserves to Know - with Host: David Greenspan
David Greenspan is calling out the BS happening at the highest levels of organized real estate in Canada - from overspending and bloated egos to weak leadership and broken licensing systems. This episode is for every hardworking Realtor who’s tired of paying more and getting less.
David breaks down:
- Why your $2,500+ in annual dues might be going to waste
- What’s really behind CREA’s new data centre
- Why OREA still doesn’t have a CEO (and who SHOULD have the job)
- How RECO is letting too many unqualified people in
- The truth behind TRREB’s Pitbull performance
- The toxic culture of popularity contests and power lists
This isn’t just a rant - it’s a call to action.
It’s time for organized real estate to remember who they serve.
