The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) announced the appointment of Brenda Buchanan as its new CEO.
RECO is a not-for-profit organization that regulates real estate agents and brokerages across the province. Buchanan, who served as the interim CEO following the February retirement of Michael Beard, was previously the organization’s chief operations officer since 2019. Earlier in her career, she held executive positions with Ontario’s Technical Standards and Safety Authority and with Canada Lands Company.
“We are proud to welcome Brenda as RECO’s new CEO,” said Katie Steinfeld, chairwoman of RECO’s board. “Brenda is a bold, forward-thinking leader whose vision and drive will lead RECO into a new era of innovation, transparency, and consumer trust. Her appointment marks an exciting chapter for RECO as we embrace change and reimagine the future of real estate regulation in Ontario.”
