"Broker owners must maintain their ability to provide choice and flexibility when it comes to technology. Networks need to foster this in order to bring the best of the best for their agents as the freedom to offer a variety of best in class technology options is a key driver in the success of a brokerage and its agents and a networks very existence is centred on this principle."

"In our industry, as it relates to technology, we have had one choice for over 20 years, and in the last 5 years all the players that have come in have raised the bar, and that’s good for all of us. Why would we give that up? No network ever should dictate how I or anyone wants to run their business. I believe in a free market and the best product wins. period."

"Just as our clients have a choice of their mortgage provider and broker, so should the independent mortgage professionals have as choice in the technology they use to serve their clientele. We live in an era where technology is abundant as ever and accessible to everyone. To prevent choice in our industry is not only anti-competitive but is essentially stripping away our spirit. In turn, such practises will remove all integrity, transparency and future innovation for our industry as a whole."

"Competition is a good thing dammit!! Competition breeds innovation. Imposing restrictions and networks telling me how I run my business is the height of dictatorship, not a true partnership. Networks who are trying to block technology platforms, other then the one they own, comes from a place of fear and not the type of business acumen I'd want to be aligned with personally"

"The amount of money I pay to my network every year drives me to have an expectation that they sort out any administrative challenges they say they have and not resort to threatening me or my business. I also love the idea of using a platform that is not owned by my network, for this very reason. This is the beginning, not the end. What's next in their attempts to control me and my team and have me do what they want and not what I want. Enough is enough."

"All brokers, agents and broker owners need to continue to have choice in technology and their business in general in a very political industry. We are all in this together and there should never be any limits placed on anyone for the benefit of any network. Networks are suppose to provide choice, opportunities and benefits to their agents and allow them to grow their business with what they feel are best for them. We need to be aware of the bigger issues at hand and ensure our rights to choice are respected and that transparent information is available."
