BDAR-TRREB Integration
Transition Resource Hub

The recommendation to integrate BDAR with the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) experienced an overwhelming endorsement at the Special Meeting of Members on February 16, 2023, with 92% of members voting in favour of this direction.

Congratulations to BDAR Members on taking the next step to achieving more seamless service for your clients, reaching a broader audience for your listings, and increasing your opportunities to build your business.

Once the transaction is completed, BDAR and TRREB will both continue on an affiliated corporation basis and maintain their respective board status with OREA and CREA, with complementary service offerings.

Learn more by watching the video update from BDAR President, Luc Woolsey, and reading the FAQs below.

These FAQs will be updated regularly and any additional questions can be directed to president@bdar.ca

Frequently Asked Questions

Throughout the month of April, our Staff Team reached out to Members to set up their TRREB MLS® access and Clareity Authenticator App.

If you still do not have access, please download the app called “MobileAuth” through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and then call us 705-739-4650 to get set-up.

Through the terms of the integration, the SentriLock software will continue to be provided to BDAR Legacy Members at no cost. We are actively developing a program for new users to access the SentriLock and SentriKey services and more information on this program will be available soon.

BDAR currently has a limited quantity of lockboxes onsite. We will continue to offer our current inventory to Members as quantities last.

To monitor the distribution of lockboxes, we will be reviewing the number of assigned lockboxes and active and pending listings per Member before new lockboxes are assigned. In addition, we will also be conducting an audit to uncover any major discrepancies in assigned lockboxes and active/pending listings.
