Brian Madigan Candidate

(RECO Election 2012)

By Brian Madigan LL.B. 


 As many of you know, I have offered to let my name stand as a candidate for election as a Director of the Real Estate Council of Ontario for a three year term commencing in June 2012.

Let's look at an issue which I believe is topical for the 2012 election?

Is trading in real estate simply a business or is it truly professional?

The answer to this question is dependent upon a strong Code of Ethics. But, to simply have a Code as a Regulation under the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 is not enough.

The Code of Ethics must be:

· Known, and

· Enforced

in order to be an effective instrument of change. Professionalism is the result. It is also the process. 

I would support further education in the Pre-Registration Courses, Articling Courses and the Continuing Education Courses dealing with ethical issues.

Enforcement is necessary to ensure compliance with professional standards. Enforcement of the Code of Ethics promotes professionalism within the real estate trading community. 

Here's the political promise: if I am elected I will support increased education and increased enforcement of the Code of Ethics to foster the development of professionalism among the registrants. 

The effect in my view will be "increased professionalism" on the part of all registrants through improved education and enforcement. This will be beneficial since the profession will be held in higher regard by the consumer.

Tnaks, we'll have to see what happens. Voter turnout is the big issue.

Should report that I was unsuccesful. Voter turnout is so low, it's somewhat embarrassing to the profession.
