CFRA Live - Realtors call on Ontario’s Ombudsman to investigate RECO’s oversight of the iPro Realty scandal

View descriptionShare

Thousands of realtors across the province are calling for Ontario’s Ombudsman to investigate the industry’s watchdog. Back in May, the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) looked into a multi-million-dollar shortfall from Mississauga-based iPro Realty. In August, they were forced to shutter their doors by RECO, and their funds were eventually frozen after the brokerage co-founders were accused of taking nearly $8 million from the company’s trust account. However, the company’s trust was still operational for 4 months, leading to this week’s open letter from nine of Ontario’s largest realtor associations. Mike Lewicki is the Vice-President of the Ottawa Real Estate Board, who is among the list of concerned realtor groups. He joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Live.
