He then began to create his vast network of business contacts. For the past 20 years, Herbie has been immersed in the luxury real estate world. He began as Vice President of the Reservation Centre, Director of Resort Real Estate Sales and Director of Tourist Rentals at Mont-Tremblant Intrawest.

As a Sotheby’s International Realty Québec Certified real estate broker, Herbie has contributed to a series of record sales in Canada, including an estate of over 65,000 acres in the wild and the historic Château Montebello. In 2020, he joined forces with two long-standing partners to found the real estate development consulting firm REL Realty Advisors.
Herbie represents the most demanding investors and homeowners in the Laurentians and Montreal, but his network of clients extends across Canada. His motto is “work hard and live life to the fullest.”
Herbie spends his weeks in Montreal and weekends with his family in Mont-Tremblant. He enjoys skiing, golfing, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking and every year he drives his car at the Porsche Club of North America event at Circuit Mont-Tremblant.

Richard is currently finishing his degree in Economics at Concordia University.
He was born and raised in Montreal and has loved real estate since his youth, contributing to his strong understanding of the Montreal market.
His background in the service industry expanded his naturally outgoing personality, and his compassionate nature helps him easily connect with the people around him. He hopes to grow in the real estate investment sector, and his personability helps him make the connections he needs to be successful in that market.
Being passionate about jazz music and racing, Richard likes to explore different extremes. Whether it’s on the racetrack or in the office, he is always ready to face the next hurdle.
