Professional development and education is an important member service at RAHB. Although the mandatory “24 MCE credits” is a thing of the past, RAHB members continue to capitalize on the many professional development sessions that are offered throughout the year. Courses, workshops and lectures are presented in the RAHB classroom and at special member events such as the annual REALTOR® CONNECTIONS AGM, Conference and Trade Show. In 2015, RAHB members supported more than 40 sessions, 25 of which were new.
RAHB’s Professional Development Committee approves the sessions, which come via members’ suggestions, instructors approaching RAHB directly, or from local, provincial or federal sources. RAHB also partners with the Real Estate Institute of Canada (REIC) and now offers courses where you can earn designations or certifications such as Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), e-Pro, and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS).
Sessions offer topical, current and relevant information for you as a real estate professional, and provide you with new skills and insights. Make sure that you watch Message of the Day, direct email, REALTOR® Link® and RAHB’s Facebook group for information about sessions that will put you onto the path of greater personal and professional development.
Do you have a suggestion or enquiry? Contact Angela [email protected].

The following case study is taken from the Professional Standards files of the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington.
Salesperson A contacted ABC Brokerage Realty Inc. to make an appointment to view 123 Anywhere Street. Upon driving by 123 Anywhere Street, the Buyer Clients decided they did not like the location and declined to view the property. Salesperson A did not contact the Listing Brokerage or the Seller to indicate they would not be attending the appointment.
The Sellers were extremely upset as they had had to tidy up and get three young children and two dogs out of the house, only to find out that no one showed up for the appointment. They expressed their disappointment and frustration to their Sales Representative that the other Sales Representative acted “unprofessional” and lacked courtesy for not advising they had to cancel the appointment.
The Listing Sales Representative filed a complaint with the Professional Standards Committee against Salesperson A.
Salesperson A opted for an Abbreviated Hearing for a breach of the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton Burlington Rules and Regulations, Section 8 – Selling Procedures, Sub- Section 8.04 which states:
If a Member is unable to keep an appointment, the Member shall:
- where the appointment was made directly with the Listing Brokerage, advise the Listing Brokerage, or if direct contact with the Listing Brokerage is not possible, advise the Seller directly; or
- where the appointment was made directly with Seller as permitted under these Rules, advise the Seller directly.
The Member was assessed $250 Hearing Costs and a $500 fine.
Moral of the story:
Members are responsible for notifying the Listing Brokerage or Seller if they are not able to keep their appointment. Not cancelling an appointment is not only considered as “unprofessional” by both the consumer and fellow members, but is also a breach of RAHB’s Rules and Regulations, and shows a lack of respect to all parties involved.
