There is simply no question about who is the barometer of residential real estate in Greater Vancouver.
Bob Rennie of Rennie Marketing Systems sold a staggering $405,809,512 worth of homes on the Multi Listing Service last year, putting him far ahead of his nearest competition Jason Craik of MAC Real Estate Corp who rang up an impressive $170,898,845 in sales.
Following them was perennial strong performer Malcolm Hasman of Angell Hasman with $97,890,599 in sales.
Others topping the $50 million mark were Grace Kwok of Anson Realty at $59,892,462, Jason Soprovich of Prudential Sussex Rlty. $50,515,520 and Winnie Chung of President Canada Real Estate Serv. Inc. $50,064,400.
Rennie listed 1,482 units during the year and sold 703 of them while Craik listed 880 selling 339. Hasman listed 58 properties and sold 39.
Rennie’s performance reflects the continuing consumer fascination with downtown apartment and condominium living.
“My performance is directly related to the economic confidence in Great Vancouver and B.C. and 30 years of hard work does pay off,” Rennie said.
It is well known within industry circles that Rennie is on the job at 5.30 a.m. every morning and sometimes puts in 16-hour days.
