Congratulating our ROAR Award Winner and Nominees

“Margaret has a heartfelt desire to see our industry regarded as professional, honest, caring and efficient in dealing with all matters of real estate. She will always try to go the extra mile, even with REALTORS® of other companies, thinking out-of-the-box to make negotiations smooth and successful. I have seen our managers personally ask her to call or council a particular REALTOR® they feel would benefit from her insight.”

“John is informal with his mentorship and that makes it all the more valued. He will take the time to include new agents at one of his open houses and mentors in multiple areas, including residential, residential-commercial and country residential for those agents wanting to learn. I admire his common sense and practical approach with the new agents in his brokerage. John leads by example, always putting his clients’ needs ahead of his own, setting his professionalism above and beyond. His longevity in the industry means he has a wealth of knowledge and a tenacity that is envied.”

Karen Salmon – Royal LePage Benchmark

“Karen is always willing to go out of her way to help out a fellow colleague. From hosting lunch and learn sessions at the office, to allowing folks to work her open houses and even come along with her to pick her brain. Karen is also part of the Repree advisory committee and is always sharing how to advance the industry with her tech savvy ideas. She has been a go-to in our office for advice and a friendly smile.”

“Thomas consistently strives to stay two steps ahead of the marketing game, whether it’s website marketing, social media marketing, or traditional print. He has become the leader in new in-fills marketing, reaching more potential buyers than any other website of its kind, as well as providing specific services to builders and developers. Thomas saw an opportunity, developed a system and since then, has become the authority in the field.”

“The marketing that CIR has accomplished to elevate the professionalism and integrity of CIR`s REALTORS® and the industry is remarkable. Their preferred client update newsletters with local content, updated market reviews with national, provincial, municipal and community updates on real estate, multiple contests and giveaways to the public, as well as their consistent focus towards the community are just a few examples of how Ron Stader and CIR has accomplished this.”

“From blog posts written to videos shared, Kelley has delivered ample content to an online audience for free. His online tutorials are helpful tools and position him as a leader and expert in technology, all of which is reflected in his marketing. He was also a key player in creating Calgary`s ReBar camp, expressing his interest in being more collaborative as an industry.”

“Julie understands the local market extremely well. She provides detailed market analysis stats, reports, zoning, purchase history and more, all of which enabled us to make better and more educated purchasing decisions. She was also very effective at minimizing stress, and always made it comfortable enough to trust her judgement.”

“The key trait we admire in Chase is his honesty and thoroughness. My wife looked at more than 40 houses in a two week period with our three kids with Chase while I was working. Chase even let the kids tour him around the houses. I cannot emphasize enough his extraordinary care and service mentality.”

“Ronaeale went above and beyond our expectations. She viewed homes for us to save us from having to drive to a different city to find out that a home would not work for my needs. She was the only REALTOR® who had wheelchair ramps of her own that she brought to every viewing, sometimes more than three times a day, just so I could get into a house to view it for myself. There are so many wonderful and helpful things she did for us to make our move go smoothly.”
