Ontario takes over real estate regulator RECO due to $10M trust shortfall and oversight failures.
Ontario has taken control of its real estate regulator, RECO, appointing Jean Lépine as administrator effective November 28, 2025, following a $10-million trust fund shortfall at iPro Realty.
The move stems from a Dentons Canada audit revealing RECO delayed action for months, allowing over $700 million in home sales to proceed despite the financial issues.
Former registrar Joseph Richer was found to have unilaterally negotiated a deal for iPro’s founders without board approval, bypassing standard procedures.
The government cited a loss of public trust and systemic failures in oversight, aiming to restore confidence through direct provincial oversight.
Lépine will manage RECO’s operations, coordinate with insurers, and support affected consumers, though it remains unclear if RECO’s leadership will be replaced.
