WE ARE…

Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone) is a brand-new, novel association formed on July 1, 2024. Representing REALTORS® serving in the markets of Mississauga, Burlington, Hamilton, Waterloo Region, Niagara North, Haldimand County, Norfolk County and surrounding areas, it is Ontario’s second-largest real estate board comprised of nearly 9,000 REALTORS®.

Established to better serve and represent REALTORS®, its vision is to establish a new, more influential, capable, and member-centric organization designed to meet the evolving needs of REALTORS® and help them thrive in the marketplace.

Cornerstone stands for transparency, honesty, and integrity. By taking a proactive stance toward the future and not being afraid to question some of the long-standing assumptions, Cornerstone offers a unique value proposition, paving the way for members’ brighter future.

We are Cornerstone. REALTORS® Together, Stronger Together.

The Cornerstone Association of Realtors supports the policy as a positive step towards helping more Canadians achieve homeownership. However, the policy should be expanded to include resale homes, ensuring that more families have access to suitable housing options. Cornerstone is heartened by the Bank of Canada lowering interest rates for the second consecutive month. This decision offers relief to almost half of Canadian mortgage holders expected to renew by the end of 2025. It's especially good news for aspiring homebuyers who have been waiting for lower rates before diving into the market. 🏒 Join Cornerstone’s team at the 2024 Hockey Helps The Homeless (HHTH) tournament!
