"Meet the Pros" at BCIT
On the night of September 29th, 2010 REIBC hosted its first ever "Meet the Pros" event at BCIT. It was an excellent event as students of the BCIT real estate program met with professional members of the Real Estate Institute of British Columbia. We can definately say this event was a success as young professionals got the chance to ask any questions concerning the real estate industry, their future in real estate and ask for advice on their carreer paths from RI's. We would like to thank all students of BCIT and all RI's that participated in this great event and made it into a huge success. It is always wonderful when experienced real estate professionals share their wisdom and knowledge with a younger, eager generation.
