Last month at its annual meeting, the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) announced that Sooke realtor Tim Ayres has been elected as its 2024-2025 chair. Ayres has been licensed since 2004 and served on BCREA’s board since March 2020. He focuses on residential sales on Vancouver Island.
“I am very excited to be selected to lead our provincial professional organization as its 2024-2025 chair,” says Ayres. “Supported by a strong board of directors, CEO and staff, I anticipate that BCREA will continue to advocate for realtors and consumers on housing issues that affect us all in British Columbia, promote professionalism and professional development among the realtor community and continue to be a trusted source of real estate economic data in B.C.”
Ayres has volunteered with the Victoria Real Estate Board (VREB) since 2006 on numerous committees and on the board of directors from 2009-2015. He’s also served the Canadian Real Estate Association as a committee member and on its board of directors from 2016-2018.
“Our profession is always changing, and BCREA is here to be a proactive participant, leading the conversation surrounding real estate and housing issues in the province,” Ayres notes.
Joining him as officers of the association are chair-elect Chris Shields of Macdonald Realty, past chair Darren Close of Re/Max Generation and BCREA chief executive officer Trevor Koot.
BCREA also welcomes:
- new realtor director Daniel John (Richmond)
- new public director Andy Pham
- returning realtor directors Ruth Hanson (Vancouver), Kim Heizmann (Kelowna), Darcy McLeod (Vancouver), Ashley Smith (Vancouver) and Robert Wood (Kelowna)
- returning public directors Catherine Aczel Boivie and Amanda Magee
