We now have a firmware solution that will significantly reduce lockbox issues, improve performance and provide members with the kind of lockbox experience they’ve come to expect.

There are two weeks left to submit payment for your CREA and AREA membership dues.

Don't you hate it when you fill out a survey and nothing comes from the results? Luckily, that's not how we operate here at CREB^®—we prefer to take action.

Many years ago, I read a guest CREB^® Talk article by a fellow CREB^® member who explained the importance of donating platelets. At the time, I didn’t know much about this particular giving option for Canadian Blood Services (CBS), but soon my wife Rona and I were regulars. 

We’re not going to beat around the bush—ROAR nominations close in less than a week, which means it’s time to take action and nominate a deserving peer. 

The March 8 submission deadline for the 2017 ROAR Awards is around the bend. Follow our ROAR road map to find out how to nominate, so we can celebrate and elevate our accomplished REALTORS^®. 

Submit payment for your 2017 CREB® membership by Tuesday. Visit your CREB^®Link profile to access your January statement and make an online payment. 

CREB^®’s operations are guided by a comprehensive strategic plan and five operational goals to improve member value, enhance professional conduct, foster productive relationships with members, champion members’ interests and maximize excellence in technology.

It’s very gratifying to see that so many members “get it” when it comes to database integrity. Every day, I see examples of members challenging each other to do better.

As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. We know it to be true and that’s why we’re getting ready to reach out to you—the members of CREB^®. We need your input to help chart our next four year strategic plan—the document that will serve as CREB^®’s road map to 2021.

Nearly four months have passed since we switched our commercial MLS^® System from MLXchange to Matrix™. Since then, our team has been working with members to ensure listings are meeting the new guidelines for data structure.

CREB^® declares one broker-director elected by acclamation. Congratulations to Mary-Ann Mears, broker of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada.
