Top Red Deer, Alta. sales rep Dale Devereaux of Century 21 Advantage has been inducted into the Century 21 Dick Loughlin International Hall of Fame. The award recognizes company members who achieve impressive sales production and go above and beyond for their community. He was honoured onstage in front of thousands of peers at the recent Century 21 Global Conference in Washington, D.C.
Devereaux is the fourth Canadian to receive this international award.
Devereaux, along with his customers and friends, helped the community food bank by donating a turkey for every house he has sold for the last 17 years. In total, they’ve helped feed more than 17,556 people during the holidays and Devereaux has become the Red Deer Food Bank’s single largest donor.
He also found the land to build the local Ronald McDonald House and was on the board that fundraised more than $12 million for the foundation. He has hosted many dinners in this home that have been auctioned off for the benefit of The Ronald McDonald House, The Ron Maclean Foundation and The Red Deer Hospice.
Devereaux says the award was “a huge surprise. I actually didn’t have a clue. They were talking about the person who was to receive the award and I realized they were talking about me! When I stood up and turned around there was mom, dad and one daughter. I never cry, but I did. Needless to say it was a short speech,” he says.
Devereaux has been recognized by Century 21 Canada with the Grand Centurion Producer Award for his sales results every year since 2003. He has also ranked as the No. 1 individual by units at his office for 18 consecutive years. In 2003, he was named Sales Associate of the Year by the company.
