Realtors facing fraud, insider trading probe

Some Metro Vancouver real estate agents are to be investigated over allegations of fraud and insider trading. The BC Superintendent of Real Estate and an advisory group of the province’s Real Estate Council will join forces to probe the matter, which has been raised by politicians. New Democrat David Eby claimed Monday that some realtors have been hiding the foreign origins of real estate transactions and using tax-avoiding techniques. The investigation could result in swiftly-introduced new legislation.
