“It is a true honour to be recognized by Storeys alongside so many influential and accomplished professionals in the industry,” said Karen Yolevski, COO, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd. “Considering the current economic climate, it has never been more important for policy makers, real estate industry leaders, developers and consumers to work together to find viable solutions to Ontario’s ongoing housing affordability and supply crisis. I am proud to be part of Royal LePage’s efforts to keep Canadians informed, and to advocate for accessible housing options for all.”
