Coldwell Banker Canada recently announced the addition of Coldwell Banker Executives Realty to its network. The brokerage is led by Bill Hubbard and based in Vernon, in British Columbia’s interior.

The company notes Hubbard’s decision to join was a strategic one, due to Coldwell Banker’s advanced technology, progressive approach and growing presence in the Canadian market. With over 35 years of industry experience, Hubbard is forward-thinking and takes an innovative perspective.

 

Hubbard’s background and experience

 

Hubbard’s real estate career began in Alberta and continued in B.C. after he relocated in 1996. With his previous brokerage, he earned its Franchisee of the Year Award for all of Canada in 2015. His offices have consistently ranked among the top 30 in the country and received Century 21’s highest production award, the Grand Centurion.

Hubbard is also committed to community and actively supports Easter Seals Send a Kid to Summer Camp.

 

Business change and growth

 

With the shift in industry dynamics, in 2018 Hubbard restructured his business model to blend traditional practices with modern, digital-first strategies. This helped him grow his business from 55 to 160 realtors by 2024.

His brokerage now offers full-time sales coaching, training and education services, and simplified business fees.

“The changes coming at the real estate industry require brokerages and franchisors to think outside the box. Six years ago, we chose to build a hybrid business model between traditional brokerages and the new cloud-based business models.

The second step was to find a strong brand that consumers already trusted that was progressive enough to embrace our new business model. After an intense search, Coldwell Banker was clearly the brand. Our growth is proof that realtors are ready for this change,” Hubbard explains about his journey and what led to the switch.

 

The goal moving forward is to “cement a leading position across the eight market areas Hubbard’s offices serve in B.C.: Castlegar, Enderby, Kamloops, Maple Ridge, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Vernon.”

]]> Bill Hubbard and the Century 21 Executives Realty team in Vernon, B.C., along with EZ Rock and SunFM, hosted a front door food drive in May to help raise donations for the Salvation Army Food Bank.

Since the start of the global pandemic, Hubbard and the C21 team had been looking for ways to help while still keeping people safe. They came up with the front door food drive.  Donors were asked to put their non-perishable food items outside their front door, where a volunteering C21 agent would pick it up with no contact to ensure social distancing.

The drive was held in Armstrong, Coldstream, Enderby, Lumby, Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Vernon over two days. It collected the equivalent of three truckloads of food.

“Our company was built on the value of giving back to the community that supports us. The front door food drive was a wonderful way to do this and it also gave our Realtors a positive sense of helping out,” says Hubbard.

]]> Ron Antalek, a sales rep with Re/Max Lifestyles Realty in Maple Ridge, B.C. is the 2020 recipient of the Canadian Realtors Care Award.

Antalek is a second-generation Realtor with more than 30 years of experience, says CREA. In 1989, he put his career as a schoolteacher on hold to work alongside his father and sister in real estate.

His contributions to the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation were instrumental in the creation of the Antalek Family Psychiatry Unit, which serves the mental health needs of adult patients within the hospital walls, says CREA.

He has served on the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation Board of Directors since 2009 and has been its chair since 2012. As part of this role, he has been deeply involved in the foundation’s strategic planning.

In a story on the Realtors Care website, Antalek says he hopes that by accepting the award and sharing his story, he might inspire others to give volunteering a try. “What is your passion? What makes you feel warm inside? What can bring a tear to your eye? Pursue that as a volunteer,” he says.

In Ron Antalek’s honour, CREA has donated $5,000 to the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation.

Other Realtors who were nominated by friends, fellow Realtors and charity representatives for being inspiring examples of Realtors giving back were

  • Gregg Bamford of Re/Max Saskatoon East, Saskatoon
  • Kevin Dol of Royal LePage in The Comox Valley, Courtenay, B.C.
  • Rebecca Pearl Himelfarb of Forest Hill Real Estate, Toronto
  • Bill Hubbard of Century 21 Executives Realty, Vernon, B.C.
  • Bruce Johnson of Re/Max of Wasaga Beach, Wasaga Beach, Ont.
  • Jeff McMaster of Royal LePage Team Realty, Carleton Place, Ont.
  • John Patricelli of Sutton – Centre Realty, Burnaby, B.C.
  • Colin Zappia of Sutton Group – Ottawa Realty, Ottawa

CREA says if you know a Realtor who is making a difference in their community and deserves recognition on a national level, watch for the announcement of the nomination period for the 2021 award this September.

REM is the official media sponsor for the 2020 award.
