REM Online has posted a wonderful article all about the Competition Bureau Dispute happening here in Ontario.

Here is an excert from the article:

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is weighing in for the fight between the Competition Bureau and the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).

CREA has requested leave to intervene in the upcoming hearings before the Competition Tribunal, stating: “The Tribunal’s decision in this proceeding will have national implications for the real estate industry and therefore will directly affect all of CREA’s members.”

It says that although what the bureau is seeking is “broad and imprecise, any finding made, or order issued, in respect of VOWs (virtual office websites) and other Internet vehicles will directly affect the ability and manner in which CREA’s members across Canada can and will provide services to their customers using the Internet.”

According to this Toronto Star article, Canadian home buyers have been keeping the Canadian real estate market hot these past few weeks.

The housing market is expected to be much more stable compared to other markets and other locations in the coming months, according to what the Canadian Real Estate Association’s chief economist, Gregory Klump, told the Star.

“We anticipate that, going forward, the housing market in Canada is going to be an oasis of stability compared to what is expected to be further volatility in financial markets,” he said.

Hello and welcome to Toronto At Home!

First and foremost I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting my business over the years. It has been such a pleasure to work along side of you, helping you create lasting memories in your new homes.

As you may know, I have spent the last 8 years working with Royal LePage Real Estate Services-Central Branch. I am happy to announce that as of July 26^th, I will be working at Royal LePage R.E.S. Johnston & Daniel Division, which is still part of the Royal LePage family.

Johnston & Daniel was established in 1950, and became a division of Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd. in 1994.

Over the years, Johnston & Daniel has served generations of Toronto's most respected families well. By offering caring, intuitive service and building long-term relationships with our clients, we've become the most trusted name in Toronto real estate.

Now you may be wondering what made me want to switch companies and join Johnston & Daniel. The answer to that is simple. For the last few years, Johnston & Daniel, through its affiliation with Royal LePage, has had the honourable distinction of being Toronto’s Number One Real Estate Brokerage for the entire Greater Toronto Area. Johnston & Daniel also has the unique distinction of being the premier Canadian affiliate of the Luxury Portfolio Fine Property Collection.  The Luxury Portfolio Fine Property Collection^® is the luxury face of Leading Real Estate Companies.

Johnston & Daniel also has a very comprehensive marketing strategy to ensure that its salespeople's listings get maximum exposure.  Internet vehicles include the Johnston & Daniel corporate site, the Royal LePage corporate site, the Luxury Portfolio site, the Realtor.ca site and possible syndication on over 150 agent websites. Although there are many reasons for choosing J&D, I feel this brokerage will support my wonderful client base and ultimately my business.

I am very excited about my move and I look forward to serving you and your family.

Enjoy the last days of summer.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Vinet
