“The RI designation is the brand name in the real estate industry exemplifying education and experience. In an era where micro-credentials seem to be given for the smallest of efforts, the RI stands out as being both a meaningful and recognizable gauge of quality and knowledge in real estate.”

“From the very beginning of my career, membership with the REIBC allowed me to make critical business connections, facilitated valuable mentorship and helped me effectively navigate a complex industry. These connections and friendships endure to this day along with the professional credibility and opportunities the RI designation has always provided.”

“I have been an RI member for almost 30 years, essentially, my entire career in real estate.  The base of knowledge required to qualify as an RI has been very helpful in my career, both directly and indirectly.  The educational and networking opportunities as a member are second to none.   I have always found other RI's to be most open to help answer a question, or suggest other resources.  Continual change remains the one constant in business.  RI membership not only serves to help keep up with changes in specific disciplines, but the real estate industry as a whole.”

“The Real Estate Institute of BC provided me with the opportunity to get involved and ultimately lead the organization as one of the Institute’s youngest Presidents.   The experience and knowledge gained along the way were important stepping stones in my career.  Throughout my membership, the network of diverse professionals combined with the research and educational events and publications continue to enhance my career and skill set.”
