Last week, Royal LePage announced the conversion of its newest British Columbia-based brokerage, Royal LePage ELITE West, formerly Keller Williams ELITE Realty.
The brokerage services Metro Vancouver with offices in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford.
Largest Keller Williams conversion for Royal LePage
This addition is the largest Keller Williams conversion in Royal LePage’s history. With over 180 agents, the brokerage will service residential, commercial, recreational, luxury, farmland and investment property portfolios, among others.
“We are excited for Royal LePage’s growth momentum in British Columbia, welcoming a talented and productive group of sales professionals to our network. Their wealth of experience and esteemed clientele will be a fantastic addition to our organization,” says Jim Morris, director of business development, Western Canada.
The leadership team
Terri Spilsbury and Josh Bath will continue to lead the brokerage. Bath has worked in the industry for over 30 years and has served on numerous boards and committees throughout his career. With a background in real estate and conveyancing law, Spilsbury began her 20-year career in real estate after partnering with Bath.
The pair built a team that reached top-five status for GCI in North America within the first two years. Looking ahead, Spilsbury and Bath plan to increase the team’s market share, supporting Royal LePage in achieving growth.
Why the change
The company reports that Spilsbury and Bath were looking to partner with a reputable Canadian company with extensive technology tools and robust training and coaching programs. They also wanted a company with the infrastructure to support their sales professionals through the transition without disruption to the business.
“In today’s dynamic real estate landscape, where technology and information are at the forefront of our industry, aligning with a reputable brand will empower our agents to nurture their most valuable assets – their clients,” says Spilsbury.
“Our business journey has always been about providing unparalleled support and education to our team of staff and sales professionals and joining the Royal LePage family absolutely feels like the right fit,” Bath adds.
Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage, welcomes the team: “I am delighted to welcome this impressive team of high-performance Realtors to our big, happy family. Royal LePage ELITE West represents an important development for our growth in Greater Vancouver. Congratulations to Terri and Josh, and to the professionals in business development who worked with them to make this happen.”
