The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) recently presented Sandra Wyant with the Professional Excellence Award. Wyant is with Re/Max LifeStyles Realty in Maple Ridge.
The award is REBGV’s highest honour. Wyant was nominated by her peers and chosen by a panel of judges.
The winner must meet strict requirements of professionalism, ethics and community involvement.
“Sandra is the epitome of what the Professional Excellence Award represents,” says Darcy McLeod, REBGV president. “Her dedication to her profession and to her community has made her a recognized leader for many years.”
The board says Wyant “has spent several years helping to lead and shape the real estate profession.” She was one of the first instructors in the profession’s Ethical Leadership Program. She has volunteered as a director of the B.C. Real Estate Association and the REBGV and served as REBGV president for the 2013-2014 term.
Beyond real estate, Wyant is also known as a community builder, the board says. She volunteers as a member of the Community Advisory Council at the Salvation Army Ridge Meadows Ministries. She was also instrumental in forming the Costa Rica Kids School Sponsorship Program that supports underprivileged children in Costa Rica. Wyant has made several trips to Costa Rica to lend a helping hand.
