Keeping Real Estate Safe: Macdonald Realty Partners with Local Tech Company to Strengthen Compliance

At Macdonald Realty, protecting our clients, agents, and community is always a top priority. That’s why we’re proud to announce our new partnership with Iluminai, a Vancouver-based compliance technology firm, to strengthen how we meet Canada’s anti-money laundering regulations.

These rules, set by FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada), are designed to protect the real estate market—and everyone in it—from money laundering and financial crime. By using Iluminai’s cutting-edge platform, we’re making sure these checks happen seamlessly, behind the scenes, with less paperwork and more security.

“Our agents are here to focus on clients, not red tape,” says Drew McLean, Managing Director at Macdonald Realty. “This new tool helps us stay ahead of the rules while making the process faster and easier for everyone involved.”

The platform automatically monitors transactions, flags risks in real-time, and ensures every step meets national compliance standards. Most importantly, it protects our agents—and you—every step of the way.

We’re proud to be partnering with another Vancouver-born company and continuing to lead the way in professionalism, trust, and innovation in BC’s real estate market.
