“It doesn’t matter if he’s coaching teens on the basketball court or football field, teaching courses for new Realtors or finding a family the home of their dreams, Doug Slinn loves helping people,” says the Association of Regina Realtors (ARR). The association has selected Slinn as 2015 ARR Realtor of the Year.
Sponsored by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., the award recognizes an ARR member who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and dedication to both the real estate industry and the community at large.
Regina-born Slinn got his real estate license in 1972, working in sales for homebuilders. He then explored other careers, including air traffic control, before returning to real estate in 1986 as a Realtor and appraiser. Over the years, he’s made time to coach several minor sports teams, volunteer with the school community council and the Kinsmen, as well as serve on the Appraisal Institute of Canada and the ARR’s Professional Standards Committee.
“My dad set the example. He helped anybody he could,” says Slinn, a Realtor with Century 21 Dome Realty. “This industry has given me friends for life. I’ve always believed in giving back.”
“Doug has spent many years mentoring and being there for his fellow Realtors whenever they’ve had questions,” says ARR president Rick Miron.
