On December 2, 2014, TREB released its new Online Agreement System which allows Brokers of Record and their Salespeople to complete DLA Agreements, IDX Agreements and VOW Agreements online instead of on paper. The TREB Online Agreement System provides a method of completing these agreements in less time with less aggravation and no paper waste.
Brokers of Record and their Salespeople now have more control over their agreements as the system also provides quick access to view their current active agreements, any agreements they have in progress including where they are in the chain of process, and any active legacy paper-based agreements.
Accessible from the Forms/Clauses slider menu on the home page under REALTOR® TOOLS, this new system not only reduces the time it takes to get an agreement in place, but also the amount of paper it takes to do this, reducing TREB's environmental impact. Within the first four months of the Online Agreement System being available to TREB, over 1800 agreements were initiated online.
In March 2015, the Board opted to eliminate unnecessary paper waste by deciding to set a deadline for all DLA, IDX and VOW Agreements to be done online only. As of September 1, 2015 the use of paper-based versions of the DLA, IDX and VOW Agreements will come to an end and ONLY the agreements processed online will be accepted by TREB from then onwards.
