Real Estate with Howard Drukarsh: Phil Soper of Royal LePage/Bridgemarq
For the 30th episode of the podcast, Drukarsh is joined by Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage and Bridgemarq Real Estate Services.
They discuss successfully predicting the flow of the real estate market in 2020, reengineering the largest brokerage firm in Canada to work virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his market outlook for the remainder of 2021.
With over 20,000 agents in its Royal LePage, Royal LePage Commercial, Johnston & Daniel, Via Capitale, and Proprio Direct businesses, it is the largest real estate brokerage firm in Canada, with property sales of $100 billion in 2020.
In the 2021 comprehensive ranking of industry leadership in North America, the Swanepoel 200, Soper was again named the most influential leader in Canadian real estate and 12th worldwide. In 2016, he became the first Canadian to receive the Real Estate Leadership Award at the U.S. National Realtor Expo as “an industry visionary who embraces innovation and blazes new paths.” Real Estate Marketing magazine declared him one of the 25 most important leaders of the past 25 years, and he has been honoured as “CEO of the Year” by the Canadian Public Relations Society, a first for a real estate industry executive.
