Since Kassam and Pacific Rim living are not licensed, their clients do not have the benefit of the regulatory scheme over which the Real Estate Council presides, licensee mandatory indemnification insurance, or of the real estate special compensation fund which is administered under RESA Continued non-compliance would harm the integrity of the licensed British Columbia real estate services industry, harm the interests of consumers, and would be detrimental to the public interest.
