A Message from Penny Torontow, President, Ottawa Real Estate Board
People place a significant amount of trust in REALTORS® during the homebuying process. It’s the largest purchase a person will make and an essential need: a home. I, along with all my colleagues at the Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB), am angered and disheartened by the behaviour portrayed on CBC Marketplace of real estate agents engaging in mortgage fraud. Without question, this behaviour is unacceptable.
REALTORS Care® Foundation Grants
Every year, OREB Members raise funds for the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation to help shelter-related charities in the Ottawa area.
