Trust in real estate isn’t gone - but it’s being tested.
In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan sits down with Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Daniel Steinfeld for a real, open conversation about trust, transparency, and what it actually takes to move this industry forward.
This isn’t about market predictions.
