What does a smarter, more resilient housing system look like in Canada? BCREA CEO Trevor Koot joins Ashley to zoom out: climate shocks, immigration, Indigenous title and UNDRIP, red tape vs. development, and why data — not vibes — should steer policy. We dig into the evolving role of REALTORS as small-business owners in an AI era, how 30 years of MLS history could inform better decisions, and why the (still) paper-heavy real estate transaction stack is overdue for digitization. Also: the case for real consultation between government and industry, and Trevor’s “purpose before profit” through-line from 50+ founder interviews. Pragmatic, non-partisan, and Canada-wide.
