Meet the Royal LePage® Services Advisory Council™

At Royal LePage®, our strength comes from our people – the leaders, brokers/owners and agents whose passion, insight and collaboration shape who we are and where we’re headed. Our brand is built on relationships, shared purpose and a culture that brings out the very best in one another.

That’s why the Royal LePage Services Advisory Council remains such an important part of our story. Each year, this group brings together a cross-section of brokerage owners and manager-delegates from across Canada, representing diverse regions, market sizes and perspectives, to help guide our priorities, programs and services. 

Their voices ensure what we build reflects the real needs of our network and the agents they support.

A platform for bold ideas and meaningful conversation

The Services Advisory Council is intentionally structured to balance continuity with fresh perspectives. Members serve two-year terms, and every year, half of the Council rotates, allowing for new ideas and voices.

Through open dialogue, shared experiences and honest feedback, this community of leaders doesn’t just talk about the future – they help shape it. Council members bring challenges and successes from their local markets to the national stage, generating thoughtful ideas that inform strategy, technology adoption and service enhancements.

Guiding Royal LePage into the next chapter

The Council’s insight doesn’t just influence internal decisions – it powers initiatives with impact across the entire Royal LePage network. From refining service offerings, to enhancing tools and support for brokers and agents, their contributions help ensure what we provide is practical, relevant and future-ready.

Even beyond their official term, Council members stay connected with one another and with Royal LePage leadership, creating lasting relationships that continue to strengthen our collaborative culture.

Here’s what some of this year’s Council members are saying about the experience:

“I volunteered for the Council because I believe the best way to improve a system is to be willing to sit at the table and help shape it. As a broker, I work at the intersection of agents, clients, regulation, technology and brand, so I see firsthand what’s working and where there’s opportunity to elevate the experience.

The Council creates a meaningful, structured space to bring those insights forward in a collaborative way. I value the opportunity to sit alongside peers from across the country, share perspectives and help shape the tools and services that support our network. It’s about ensuring we continue to evolve with intention, informed by the realities of leading offices every day.”
Gunievere Howes, Royal LePage® Coast Capital Realty

“I joined the Services Advisory Council to help challenge the status quo and help create smarter, more impactful services for brokerages and agents across the country. I’m passionate about doing better and learning alongside forward-thinking leaders who are focused on the future of our industry.

The Council brings together people who genuinely want to share what’s working, challenge assumptions, and turn ideas into action. For me, it’s about contributing to meaningful innovation that helps brokerages and agents operate smarter, grow stronger, and stay ahead of what’s next.”
