VIRES 005: Guy Crozier interview on Associations in Real Estate

On The Rise with Braden Wheatcroft

With all the changes looming in our industry from our Federal and Provincial governments as well as our industry watchdog, the Real Estate Council of BC, who is responsible for looking out for the best interests of REALTOR®s? Are the real estate agents? The managing brokers? The real estate brokerages themselves? All three groups mentioned need to be active participants in lobbying for what’s best for their profession and the consumers they serve. But, what about the various associations in the real estate industry? That’s where Guy Crozier and I focus our conversation today - Real estate associations at the local, provincial and national level. What their roles are and what value they offer the members they serve.

Entering the real estate industry in 1992, Guy Crozier has been involved in the organized real estate as a volunteer since 1997. Many of Guy’s contributions have been with the Victoria Real Estate Board where he, in addition to sitting various committees and task forces, was a Director from 2012 - 2016 which included a term as President. Next, Guy broadened his horizons in 2017 through his work with the Canadian Real Estate Association’s National Advertising Campaign Committee. When he’s not helping make our industry better, Guy is hard at work in the Victoria real estate market where he is a partner with the Preferred Homes Team - One of Western Canada’s top-ranked with Teams RE/MAX.
