As we close the chapter on 2023, we look back on a year that was nothing short of remarkable for Oakwyn Realty. It was a year of milestones, celebrations, and growth, all grounded in our core values and the incredible community that makes everything we do possible.
Growing Together: New Offices, New Opportunities
This year, Oakwyn expanded its reach, opening doors to new offices in North Shore, and the Okanagan, with more on the horizon. Each new location represents our commitment to providing exceptional service and creating spaces where agents can thrive. With these additions, we’re proud to strengthen our presence across British Columbia, building connections and opportunities in these vibrant communities.
Theme of the Year
Oakwyn’s 2023 theme, “Unite”, reflects the heart of the Oakwyn community. The spirit of unity drives our growth, empowers our agents, and fosters a culture where everyone belongs. “Unite” is more than a theme; it’s a reminder that we’re stronger together, creating opportunities and achieving excellence as one.
A Decade of Oakwyn
2023 marked a major milestone: Oakwyn’s 10th anniversary. What started as a vision to redefine the real estate experience has blossomed into a thriving network of professionals driven by shared values and a collective passion for excellence. Our decade of success is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of everyone in the Oakwyn family.
Celebrating Women and Community
This year, we also saw one of our biggest WOO (Women of Oakwyn) events to date. Supporting and uplifting women has always been a cornerstone of Oakwyn’s culture, and the WOO event brought together an inspiring group of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers to celebrate the power and impact of women in our industry.
A Year of Memorable Events
From our third annual Golf Tournament to the unforgettable Teams Day, 2023 was filled with events that brought us closer as a community. Teams Day, in particular, showcased the strength of collaboration and the importance of working together toward shared goals! As a celebration of our 10th anniversary, we organized an unforgettable group trip to the vibrant city of Las Vegas, and it truly was a celebration to remember! Our base for this exciting adventure was the luxurious Wynn Hotel, which provided the perfect backdrop for our festivities.
Masters Class: Elevate Your Real Estate Business
As part of our celebrations, we hosted an exclusive Masters Class seminar titled “The Real Estate Business – C-Suite Seminar.” This unique event offered invaluable insights into structuring executive principles within your real estate practice. Attendees delved into the essential characteristics and roles of the CEO, COO, and CFO, learning how to build an exceptional business that can drive success.
This seminar not only provided practical knowledge but also created a fantastic opportunity for like-minded professionals eager to diversify and enhance their leadership skills.
Living Our Values
Throughout the year, we remained steadfast in our commitment to Oakwyn’s core values: Put People First, Innovate Service, Create Community, be a Real Estate Nerd, Lead By Example, Pursue Growth & Learning, Embrace & Drive Change. These values are the foundation of everything we do, from supporting our agents and clients to giving back to the communities we serve.
Gratitude for Our Community
At the heart of Oakwyn is an amazing community of agents, partners, and clients who inspire us every day. Your support and dedication fuel our growth and success, and for that, we are deeply grateful. Together, we’ve created a culture of collaboration, trust, and excellence that sets Oakwyn apart.
Looking Ahead
As we prepare to welcome 2024, we do so with excitement and optimism. The achievements of 2023 have laid the groundwork for even greater possibilities ahead. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey—we can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together next year.
