With more than 600 million visits and roughly 120 million unique visitors each year, REALTOR.ca is Canada’s No.1 real estate platform*. It’s a trusted, professionally-backed marketplace where Canadians can search for homes with confidence. For REALTORS®, it’s one of the most powerful tools available to support their businesses, connecting them with motivated home buyers, sellers and renters, and generating valuable leads. Now that REALTOR.ca has transitioned to a separate for-profit entity, still wholly-owned by CREA, what does the future hold for the platform, REALTORS®, and the home buying journey?

In his very first podcast appearance as REALTOR.ca CEO, Scott Neil joins this episode of REAL TIME to talk about the importance of putting the consumer first, why it’s crucial to keep innovating in the proptech space, and why REALTOR.ca is well-positioned to stay ahead of the game.
