TREB is standing up for GTA consumers!

 March 14, 2012 -- As you may have heard in media accounts or from a fellow TREB REALTOR®, the Competition Bureau is taking action that would force TREB to abandon the safeguards in the MLS® System and make personal information publicly available on the Internet.

As you know, some material on MLS® is publicly available through REALTOR.ca. However, TREB safeguards private and personal information. REALTORS® have always been guided by an obligation to protect consumers’ personal information.

That’s why TREB and REALTOR® Members are fighting for the privacy rights of consumers! We’re launching a campaign to stand up for GTA consumers to protect their privacy.

TREB recently commissioned a poll of Ontarians by Angus Reid Critical Vision to see what Ontarians think about abandoning the privacy safeguards of MLS®. I’d like to share the results with you.

Not surprisingly, Ontarians are concerned.

• 75% of Ontarians believe that personal information such as name and final sale price should be kept confidential by REALTOR® professionals. Commissioner Aitken wants to release this information.
• 70% of homeowners do not want their personal contact information released to the public. Commissioner Aitken wants to release this information.
• 67% of Ontarians oppose any measure to make personal contact information such as name and address available to others who are not subject to a professional code of conduct. Commissioner Aitken wants to release this information.

To stand up for GTA consumers and fight back, we’ll need your help.

We’ve launched a new website to draw attention to what will happen if Commissioner Aitken gets her way. To learn more about the campaign visit www.protectyourprivacy.ca
Throughout the campaign, leading up to the Competition Tribunal proceedings this fall, TREB will be updating its Members with how the campaign is unfolding and how you can remain involved.

The stakes are high, Ontarians have overwhelming said they want their privacy protected. TREB has always strongly believed that REALTORS® have an obligation to protect consumers’ personal information. That’s why we’re fighting the Competition Bureau.

If Commissioner Aitken gets her way, Ontarians won’t.

Privacy matters. That’s why TREB is standing up for GTA consumers.

Thank you,

Richard Silver
President, TREB
