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.
📍 Episode Highlights:
0:00 Intro - A different kind of episode. David is taking a stand.
2:45 - The Fee Problem: What are you really getting for your annual dues?
6:50 - CREA: Why build a data centre when better options exist? Reflections from Episode #318 with Janice Myers.
12:40 - OREA: New headquarters, no CEO, and overlooking the obvious internal candidate.
19:15 - The MindShare Mastermind is happening this September in Toronto. Be part of something different.
21:20 - RECO: Why the licensing process needs a serious overhaul to protect the industry and consumers.
27:05 - TRREB: A Pitbull concert and a trade show that felt more like a money pit than member value.
31:00 - The Culture of Power: Boards and "power lists" have become popularity contests that ignore the people actually doing the work.
35:40 - Final Rant: This is about protecting the people who do the work. It’s time for transparency, reform, and accountability.
39:00 Outro - Take action. Ask questions. Share the episode. Let leadership know: we’re watching.
🎯 Action Step: Start asking:
- What value am I really getting?
- Where is my money going?
- Who is my leadership actually serving?
