The Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) recently honoured your Board with a Leading Edge Award for fostering high standards through promoting their Working With Real Estate Data (WWRED) course.
"At RESO, we know that success takes more than being reactive to change. We have to be proactive, and our members deserve all the credit for not only setting the strategic vision, but also driving its impact home for the betterment of the real estate industry. This is our way of acknowledging the best of the best."
RESO CEO Sam DeBord
Seventeen REBGV staff have completed the WWRED course, and more than half of them participate in RESO working groups that contribute to the development of new standards for securely handling and sharing real estate data.
REBGV staff are involved in ongoing work to improve backend technology and are working with the Canadian Real Estate Association on correlating national data standards to RESO standards as examples of this work.
RESO is an independent, nonprofit standards body formed to develop data standards and processes that ensure a smooth experience for all participants in real estate transactions.
