Sotheby’s International Realty Canada recently hosted its inaugural 2024 Top-Tier Summit in Kelowna, British Columbia. Held from June 23-26, the three-day event brought together the company’s leading agents and brokers from across Canada to celebrate their performance.

“In a changing and challenging real estate market, our esteemed real estate advisors have been unwavering in their dedication to offering industry-leading expertise, cutting-edge real estate technology and exemplary service to our discerning clients,” says Don Kottick, president and CEO, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada.

Showcasing the Okanagan 

The event showcased the luxurious lifestyle offered in B.C.’s Okanagan region where, earlier this year, the company opened a B.C. Interior office to service agents and clients across the Thompson Okanagan, Shuswap and Kootenay Rockies regions.

Attendees experienced the hospitality of Nathan Flavel, regional managing broker and the company’s local agents, which included a welcome cocktail reception at the Kelowna Art Gallery; private wine appreciation and culinary experiences; a cruise on Okanagan Lake; and a private chef-hosted, farm-to-table dinner.

The main event

The company’s executive team hosted a business summit at the Kelowna Yacht Club to facilitate discussions about business strategy, growth, impact, and their goals and visions for the future.

“One of the key benefits of the Top-Tier Summit was the opportunity to bring our country’s top agents together to develop meaningful relationships and to exchange ideas, business experiences and personal stories,” notes Kottick.

“As a company, we are dedicated to building a collegial company culture that inspires collaboration, innovation and professional excellence, and this year’s Top-Tier Summit exemplified these values. We look forward to continuing this tradition of hospitality and connection at future Sotheby’s International Realty Canada networking events.”
