Lunch with the President

RAHB President Jack Loft recently had a healthy lunch with Darlene and Wayne Foster of Royal LePage Signature. Wayne is also a pilot with Air Canada and he was preparing for a flight to Paris. Darlene and Wayne opened an office in downtown Stoney Creek and invited Jack to have lunch across the street at The Powerhouse Restaurant. Both Darlene and Wayne want to ramp up professionalism in the industry, they want to see an adherence to sign by-laws and advertising. Darlene is not too sure about electronic lock boxes but she may be willing to try!

Lunch With the President

RAHB President Jack Loft recently enjoyed lunch with Ellen Boyce of Royal LePage State Realty. Ellen is a highly successful REALTOR® and claims to have been in the business 40 years – which means she must have started when she was 6! Ellen worries that new registrants have a tough time succeeding due to the many REALTORS® in the field and lack of challenging entry requirements. Ellen has provided sage advice and mentoring to many current RAHB members, including Jack.
