Barry Kindrat and Stephan Villeneuve recently opened Royal LePage Realty Team in Sudbury, Ont. with a starting roster of 14 sales reps.
Kindrat, a 27-year veteran of the real estate industry, formerly operated Mincom Sudbury. Villeneuve opened his own brokerage last year.
“Short term, our focus is on a successful launch for Royal LePage Realty Team and to quickly establish a market hold,” says Kindrat. “For the long term, it is our premiere service that will spur our growth and provide our agents with personal satisfaction and much continued success.”
Villeneuve says, “We function as a co-operative brokerage, supporting one another as a cohesive team. I feel that’s why we lined up in such a harmonious way with Royal LePage.”
The owners say they are keen to encourage their team to attend the training and events hosted by Royal LePage. As previous independent owners, they say it was not often practical for their agents to get the same sort of exposure.
The brokerage operates in several niche markets including new construction, land development and residential resales. It services the communities of Greater Sudbury, Sturgeon Falls, Markstay-Warren, Wahnapitae, Coniston, Garson, Hanmer, Capreol, Val Caron, Val Therese, Espanola, Massey, Manitoulin Island, Alban, Chelmsford, Azilda, Onaping and Dowling.
