The Kamloops and District Real Estate Association (KADREA) recently honoured Realtor members and industry partners for their contribution to Kamloops and area.
“Though there is one winner in each category, a peer nominated process allows our members to be recognized by their colleagues, demonstrating the truly collaborative nature of the industry,” says KADREA president Doren Quinton. “It is heartening to see how much Realtors want to make Kamloops a better place.”
