The Ottawa Real Estate Board (OREB) supports the Government of Ontario’s decision to appoint an administrator to oversee the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) and its Board of Directors to ensure the regulator is carrying out the pledged reforms. We look forward to working with Jean Lépine as he takes on the role of administrator to RECO in the coming days.
OREB has consistently maintained that strong, transparent, and accountable regulation is essential to maintaining confidence in real estate transactions. This decision by the provincial government reflects the seriousness of the situation and will help restore public confidence.
We will continue to advocate for a regulatory environment that strengthens consumer trust, supports high professional standards, and safeguards the reputation of our industry. We remain committed to constructive, solution-focused collaboration throughout this period of oversight and reform.
