Royal LePage Frank Real Estate, an Ontario brokerage serving Durham Region, Peterborough, and The Kawarthas, has announced a change in ownership. The company’s new co-owners are Dennis Roberts and John Byers, ushering in a new phase in the brokerage’s history.
Previously known as W. Frank Real Estate, the company was founded in 1962 by Walter Frank and grew over time to become one of Ontario’s largest independent brokerages. In 1996, Rick Siwek acquired the company, and shortly after that, it became part of the Royal LePage network.
For the last 25 years, the brokerage has been operating as Royal LePage Frank Real Estate, solely owned by Rick Siwek, who played a crucial role in establishing the brokerage’s reputation in the local real estate market.
With the recent change in ownership, Dennis Roberts and John Byers take on the role of co-owners at Royal LePage Frank Real Estate Brokerage. Both brokers bring extensive backgrounds in the real estate industry and share a commitment to upholding the brokerage’s legacy of exceptional service and professionalism.
Dennis Roberts, co-owner of the brokerage, expressed enthusiasm about their new role, stating, “We are thrilled to take the reins of Royal LePage Frank Real Estate Brokerage and build upon its remarkable foundation. Our focus will be on maintaining the high standards set by Rick Siwek and Walter Frank, and we are dedicated to upholding the brokerage’s reputation as an industry leader.”
John Byers, co-owner of Royal LePage Frank Real Estate Brokerage, added, “Our priority is delivering exceptional results for our clients while fostering a supportive and collaborative environment for our agents. We look forward to working closely with our talented team at Royal LePage Frank and continuing to provide industry-leading real estate services to our valued clients.”
Under the new ownership, Royal LePage Frank Real Estate Brokerage will continue offering its wide range of services, including residential and commercial sales and leasing.
So awesome! I started on Dennis’ team 15 years ago as a brand new agent and wouldn’t be where I’m at in my business if it wasn’t for him. So happy to hear about this next stage in your career Dennis.
