Calling Out the BS in Canadian Real Estate: What Every Agent Deserves to Know - with Host: David Greenspan

David Greenspan is calling out the BS happening at the highest levels of organized real estate in Canada - from overspending and bloated egos to weak leadership and broken licensing systems. This episode is for every hardworking Realtor who’s tired of paying more and getting less.

David breaks down:

• Why your $2,500+ in annual dues might be going to waste
• What’s really behind CREA’s new data centre
• Why OREA still doesn’t have a CEO (and who SHOULD have the job)
• How RECO is letting too many unqualified people in
• The truth behind TRREB’s Pitbull performance
• The toxic culture of popularity contests and power lists

This isn’t just a rant - it’s a call to action.

It’s time for organized real estate to remember who they serve.
