Yuri Smith has made the most of his six years in the industry. The third-generation Realtor is one of the youngest broker/owners in Alberta, steering the ship for Grassroots Realty Group. Growing from five to 40-plus agents in Grande Prairie and Calgary in under two years, during the depths of the Alberta energy crisis, speaks volumes about Smith’s vision for growth. “My mentality is to stay adaptable and foster a culture of embracing change as opposed to resisting it,” he says.

In addition to being a perennially top-producing agent at Grassroots Realty Group, Smith also owns a thriving property management company and a real estate marketing business.
