Ontario Gov't 'Bout to Yeet the Real Estate Regulator 😬
Ontario moves to take over real estate regulator over handling of iPro Realty scandal. Okay, so Ontario's basically like, "Nah, fam, RECO ain't doin' it right." They're taking over 'cause of this whole iPro Realty sitch where mad $$ went MIA. Gov's stepping in to restore the trust, ya feel?

The Tea is Piping Hot ☕
Aight, listen up, future homeowners! Ontario is straight-up hitting the reset button on the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO). Why? 'Cause apparently, they fumbled the bag HARD when it came to the iPro Realty scandal. We're talking allegedly misused trust funds—like, MILLIONS. 💸
The gov't is bringing in Jean Lépine as the new principal starting December 1st and basically sayin', "Aight, we gotta fix this." Apparently, RECO didn't shut down iPro Realty quick enough, and didn't freeze them assets which looks sus af. 🤨
So, some big brainiacs at Dentons Canada LLP did an audit (basically, they investigated). And guess what? They found out RECO didn't follow their own playbook when they handled the iPro drama, and RECO didn't give the board the deets until AFTER they struck a deal with iPro Realty.
Now, the government's big mad, saying they're worried about RECO's whole vibe and how they do things. They're all about restoring the trust in the real estate game. For real for real.
