REVEL hosts its REVEL TIP OFF conference event every year to officially launch the spring selling season. The intention is to offer its family of agents an opportunity to accelerate their business in the most REVELutionary way possible, by providing access to some of the brightest minds in the real estate business.
REVEL continues to believe that surrounding yourself with talent, proven expertise and industry leaders is the perfect formula for inspiring and motivating career growth. This year’s REVEL TIP-OFF 2024 event, in REVEL’s 10th anniversary in business, was one for the ages.
An energetic opening
Staged at the elegant Ovation Room in Port Robinson, a packed assembly of agents, brokers, collaborators and business affiliates shared a common space to learn from the very best in the real estate business.
REVEL TIP-OFF 2024 opened with founders Ryan and Nicki Serravalle reviewing the past year’s office grand openings, and recent expansion into north and west Ontario, with the inclusion of REVEL TIMMINS, REVEL WATERLOO, REVEL-The Northern Group (Espanola/Manitoulin), REVEL CALEDON and REVEL ESCARPMENT, before announcing major movements planned to launch during the company’s 10th anniversary in business.
Major movements this year
Such movements now include a 100 per cent cap commission structure, a revenue sharing program (REVshare), an improved mentorship program and a new coaching alliance with Kathleen Black coaching that will benefit all REVEL agents at each stage of their respective careers. Slotted alongside subscriptions to exclusive global listing services and luxury networks, and working with an AI-driven Planet Orange tech ecosystem, REVEL believes this investment in the improvement of an agent’s personal business is an investment worth committing to long-term. REVEL is confident these investments will also provide sustainable value and leadership opportunities for years to come.
Industry leaders and sought-after speakers
From this introductory presentation, close to 300 agents in attendance were graced with the opportunity to listen to industry leaders and sought-after speakers in the real estate business, Ryan Serravalle (REVEL founder), Kate Broddick (team leader and head coach) and Andrew Perrie (team leader and head coach), before indulging in conversation panels with some of the finest agents across Ontario to gain incredible insights about lead generation and garnering referrals — the theme of this year’s conference event. Dion Beg, a mortgage expert from Kanga Mortgages, proved once again that his creative perspective on leveraging mortgages to invest in real estate is as valuable to agents as it is to clients, while Tim Hudak, CEO of OREA, finalized the morning session to update the entire assembly on the current and future state of real estate and home affordability in Ontario, into the near and distant future.
A surprise country performance
Breaking for lunch and enjoying a full buffet complemented by networking and camaraderie, the buzz was pleasantly interrupted and intensified by a surprise appearance from Canadian country star Tim Hicks, who performed three of his platinum hits for a live and attentive audience.
Tim was happy to promote his charitable affiliation with Wolfgang Guembel, one of REVEL’s esteemed agents, as they strive to raise funds for students in need through an upcoming event, In The Round — a storytelling musical event scheduled for April 26 in Niagara.
Being moved and inspired, to tears
The afternoon session featured a presentation by REVEL’s very own Evan Macdonald (head coach, REVEL St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake), who gave an inspired and heartfelt speech about resiliency in a time of challenge and struggle. Citing his own sports experiences alongside his wife’s journey to make the Olympics, the assembly of agents sat in awe as Evan brought himself and many others to tears, paralleling the triumph of his personal struggles in the context of this year’s real estate challenges.
The keynote
Finalizing the day, Jack Armstrong, TSN broadcaster for the Toronto Raptors, offered a keynote address featuring his famous anecdotal reflections on what makes people successful in their chosen fields. Citing his own family and coaching inspirations, Jack was as candid and genuine as he is during Raptors broadcasts. REVEL was proud to have him address its agents, and he provided just what everyone needed to hear with the approach of the upcoming spring selling season.
Overall, REVEL TIP-OFF 2024 was a smashing success, as it officially launched upcoming events slated to commemorate REVEL’s 10th anniversary in business, beginning with the company’s presence at the upcoming OREA REALITY Conference in Ottawa, where founder Ryan Serravalle took the stage to introduce keynote speaker, Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
REVEL also looks forward to its annual Charity Ball, Magazine Launch Party and Leaders Summit, now that the REVEL event season has officially launched in REVEL STYLE and with positivity in the sails.
