Two high profile salespeople have left competing firms and joined the Keller Williams Black Diamond Realty team in Burnaby, B.C.
Melissa Wu is leaving Sutton and Roland Kym is moving from a Re/Max brokerage.
Wu is a member of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver’s President’ Club, the top one per cent of all real estate agents in the Greater Vancouver area. She sells more houses than 99 per cent of the 13,000 real estate agents on the board.
During the past six years, Kym has also made the top one per cent of Vancouver Realtors based on sales volume.
Kym says he sees Keller Williams as the “WestJet of real estate brokerages” because the company actively engages real estate salespeople in providing feedback and influencing the direction the brokerage takes. “I noticed many well-respected, top-producing agents were making the move to Keller Williams and that piqued my interest,” he says.
The Black Diamond Market Centre, owned by Juliana Vallee, was established in 2013 and is home to 90 associates. In 2015, Keller Williams Black Diamond Realty shared more than $100,000 with its associates in profit share, the brokerage says.
