Nanaimo, BC

A 27-year veteran of the real estate industry and one of Canada’s top Re/Max agents, Derek Gillette recently made the bold move of jumping to upstart brokerage eXp Realty. He says the fresh start has finally gotten him off the “transaction treadmill” he had been stuck on for years.

“If you’re not having fun in your business and are constantly adapting to change it, that makes success so much harder,” he says. “I’m now able to create a positive impact to those around me in a way that was not possible before.”
