The Member Needs Survey was circulated to all RAHB members during the last two weeks of 2020. The purpose of the survey was to understand what challenges the RAHB membership saw for 2021 and beyond.

Approximately 11 per cent of the RAHB membership responded to the survey. Respondents represented a cross-section of all demographics including member age, membership types, years as a licensed REALTOR® and geographic location of business. The data collected was a great resource for RAHB leadership as they participated in a strategic plan refresh in January 2021.

Thank you to all participants for their time. Congratulations to member Roman Radojewski from Royal LePage State Realty who was the winner of the $100 VISA gift card.

A summary of the top three indicators follow:

• When considering the challenges facing the Real Estate Sector, members indicated that the Economy/ Government Policies scored the greatest, followed by MLS®/ Inventory Challenges, and then Professionalism.
• Members indicated that Challenges Facing RAHB Over the Next Three Years were predominantly the MLS®/ Inventory Challenges, followed by Professionalism, and then the Economy/ Government Policies
• In regard to Challenges Facing them Professionally, RAHB members scored in very tight proximity, Personal/ Finance Challenges, Economy/ Government Policies, and MLS®/ Inventory Challenges.
• Members clearly indicated of all the challenges that they were facing, nearly 2/3 of members wanted RAHB to Undertake Addressing the MLS® Challenges and Professionalism. Technology followed at a more distant third.

The results of this survey clarified and validated what members need most from RAHB, and has provided valuable data to support current and future commitments to addressing these needs, through continued efforts in advocacy, education and collaboration.

Thank you for your responses!
