New REALTOR® Crest

A new REALTOR® crest, introduced in the 1960s, became a symbol of trust the Greater Toronto Area rapidly grew. Over the years, TRREB promoted the crest as the mark of a competent and professionally trained real estate expert who can be relied upon to provide excellent service. The term REALTOR® has been used by Canadian real estate Boards since at least 1921, to identify members of organized real estate who adhere to a Code of Ethics.
