The 3rd annual development day 2026 did not disappoint

From an intimate VIP dinner at LaLa Social House with 50 of us to welcoming 200 realtors from across Waterloo Region and beyond, the energy this year was unreal. Real connection. Real support. Real conversations. All rooted in a shared commitment to elevating one another and raising the standard of our industry so we can better serve our clients and still have a little fun along the way.


A massive thank you to our sponsors who believed in the vision and helped bring this event to life. Your support allows us to continue creating spaces where our industry can grow, connect, and truly thrive.


Our community is stronger when we show up and lift each other up. And behind the scenes, so many people worked tirelessly to make this all happen. We see you, and we’re incredibly grateful.
