Recently Royal LePage Advance Realty in Campbell River, B.C. was honoured as the intermediate-sized Business of the Year by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce.

“Half the city seemed to be in attendance and it was very well publicized due to this being the Chamber’s 80th anniversary,” says managing broker Bryan Watkins. “During our acceptance speech it was noted that it is Advance’s 30th, the Chamber’s 80th and Royal LePage’s 100th anniversary and so it would appear to be the perfect confluence of positive events.”

Watkins says, “In a time when it seems our reputation and skills are seemingly under attack from every direction, it is nice to find a city where the community not only recognizes Realtors’ value and supports Realtors but also recognizes all the extras we do for and in the community…We are all quite proud.”
