The Boom Years:

Real Estate as a Career

Community outreach has always been a part of TRREB’s mandate. Believing that we are stronger together, TRREB has participated in many types of community events to promote the benefits of home ownership, of investment, and of the profession. REALTORS® are also involved in local and national industry groups, through the Board and through their individual brokerages. For example, Past President Ralph Magee (1968) was both President of TRREB and of the Toronto Board of Trade simultaneously, along with directorships at the National Association of REALTORS®, the Real Estate Institute of Canada, the Society of Real Estate Counsellors, and the Ontario Real Estate Association.
