The TRREB Beginnings:
1920–1945

Toronto Real Estate News

“The provincial government took steps in the middle ‘30s to give the business a boost in respectability through the institution of the Real Estate Broker’s Act, which among many other things forced the broker to keep proper books of account and a trust account for his deposits. This has prevented recurrences of unscrupulous fellows (and in depression days there were a few of them) decamping on a spree with the clients deposit.” (C. C. Ruttle, May 1955, Listings)
