List of Candidates 2
2016 GMREB Election
March 28 to April 1
Composition of the Next
Board of Directors
Candidates who receive the highest number of votes will be declared elected.
However, certain conditions apply:
At no time can there be more than four (4) persons from the same banner/other or two (2)
persons from the same agency sitting as GMREB directors during the same term.
To be considered a banner, a real estate brokerage firm must be made up of at least 5% of
all GMREB members. Given that the GMREB has 9,324 members (as of January 1, 2016),
this means that a firm needs to have 466 members to obtain the “banner” status. For this
election, the “other” group is considered a distinct group and has the same status as
banners.
For the purpose of this election, the following companies have the status of banner:
RE/MAX, Groupe Sutton, Royal LePage, Proprio Direct and Via Capitale.
For the 2016 election, the maximum number of candidates that can be elected from each
banner is as follows: • RE/MAX : 2 • Groupe Sutton : 3 • Royal LePage : 4
• Proprio Direct : 4 • Via Capitale : 2 • Other: 3.
To be declared elected, candidates must receive a number of votes that accounts for at
least 1% of all GMREB members (93 votes).
The Board of
Directors will be
made up of a
maximum of fifteen
(15) directors. The
new directors who
are elected will be
serving two-year (2)
terms and they will
begin their term
following the
GMREB Annual
General Meeting,
which will be held on
April 13, 2016.
To be considered valid, a ballot cannot have more votes than the number of vacant
positions, but must have at least as many votes as 2/3 of the vacant positions, which
means five (5) votes for the 2016 election.

Courtier immobilier agréé
J’ai débuté dans le domaine de l’immobilier en 1989 et dès lors, j’ai eu un gros coup de coeur pour ce travail et les professionnels
de cette industrie qui se renouvelle d’année en année. En 1999, j’obtenais mon permis de courtier. Au cours de ces années, mes
collègues et les courtiers que j’ai rencontrés me décrivent comme quelqu’un qui a son travail, ses collègues et son industrie à
coeur. On apprécie mon sens de l’écoute, mon tempérament toujours axé vers les solutions, ma disponibilité, mon dévouement, ma
franchise, ma collaboration et mon énergie. On me décrit comme étant une personne qui apporte beaucoup d’idées et défend son
opinion. Je suis une personne très curieuse, j’aime lire sur tout ce qui se rapporte à l’immobilier. J’aime être informée et au courant de
ce qui se passe.
Why would you like to be involved as a Director of the GMREB?
Tout au long de ma carrière de courtier immobilier, j’ai toujours été disponible aux courtiers pour les aider, les conseillers et les
écouter. J’entendais les interrogations, les questionnements sur le terrain. Puis en 2012 j’ai pris la décision de m’impliquer au sein
du CA de la CIGM comme administrateur afin de pouvoir aider à améliorer notre profession, notre organisation et par ricochet, notre
industrie. Ce que j’ai fait depuis mon arrivée au sein du CA en m’impliquant à fond dans les différents comités et groupes de travail.
What skills will you bring to the Board of Directors?
Occupant diverses fonctions dans le secteur de l’immobilier, cela me permet d’apporter tant au niveau du conseil d’administration
que dans les divers comités et groupes de travail où je suis impliquée, une expertise, une expérience et des compétences permettant
de faire avancer les choses. Je suis courtier immobilier et pratique toujours, ce qui me permet de bien comprendre ce que les courtiers vivent sur le terrain et de rester connecté à la réalité. Je suis également formatrice depuis 2007 pour les courtiers immobiliers et
je suis directrice d’un bureau depuis 3 ans. Ce qui m’oblige à toujours être à date tant au niveau des lois, de la règlementation que sur
l’actualité immobilière. Chaque année, je fais une multitude de formations de toutes sortes, en vue d’augmenter mes connaissances,
mes compétences et de pouvoir intégrer le tout au sein de mon travail, du CA, des comités et groupes de travail.
Have you ever been involved in one or more of the GMREB’s committees, or in any other organization? If so, which one(s)?
Membre du groupe de travail sur les pratiques du courtage au sein de la CIGM, ce groupe s’occupe de tous les aspects reliés directement au travail du courtier tant au niveau de la règlementation que de la pratique. Je suis également la représentante de Montréal au
sein du comité de collaboration provinciale de la FCIQ regroupant un représentant de chaque chambre immobilière au Québec. C’est
dans ce comité qu’on apporte des suggestions, problématiques au sein du système de collaboration et surtout où on trouve des
solutions pour améliorer le travail du courtier dans sa pratique quotidienne au niveau de notre système de collaboration. Je suis
également membre du comité de Ressources Humaines de la CIGM qui s’occupe de la saine gestion au niveau des employés et
membre de la direction. On m’invite également à l’occasion à participer a des rencontres sur différents sujets toujours en rapport à
notre industrie tant la CIGM qu’à l’OACIQ. Je suis également membre du groupe de travail - sondage collaboration et du groupe de
travail sondage à la clientèle. Puis en terminant, je suis également administrateur au sein de la RGCQ (Regroupement des gestionnaires et copropriétaires du Québec). Je me suis impliquée à la RGCQ afin de travailler sur les différents dossiers et problématiques
au niveau de la copropriété au Québec et participer aux solutions.
Other relevant information.
Mon implication au fil des années au sein du CA m’a permis de travailler sur des dossiers forts importants qui touchent directement
notre travail. Je désire poursuivre ce qui est déjà en marche et continuer à offrir mon temps à la CIGM pour vous membres de la
CIGM. Je sollicite donc bien humblement un autre mandat de votre part afin de poursuivre ce travail qui me tient tant à coeur.

Administration
Describe yourself in a few words.
Very active as a board member on the Greater Montreal Real Estate Board, it did not take a long
time for me to be known as an interested person for many challenging positions. I was elected
President of the Collège de l’Immobilier and treasurer in 2015. I am a natural leader and I am always
very passionate in our field, and this for many years to come. I am convinced I can accomplish
important tasks to continue helping the brokers in their daily activities.
Why would you like to be involved as a Director of the GMREB?
Following my first two years as board member, I had the opportunity to work on the new centris.ca
website. I am working on new projects that will be developed soon and in use by all brokers to
facilitate daily tasks. I would like to continue working in collaboration with other board member in
developing other avenues hat would serve our business, other projects also like create a special
group for beginners and young brokers in order to see them more involved. It would be a great to
hear them talk about their experiences. their vision and give us new ideas. I believe also that he
GMREB should concentrate, in the next couple of years, on its mission: promote and actively
protect the interest and business plans of its members in order to give them all the necessary tools
to succeed in their business objectives. The GMREB has to act as the major player and speaker
when dealing with all government levels, newspapers (media coverage), the public and all real estate
associations.As treasurer, I can see many new challenges to overcome in the next couple of years
due partly to the decrease in the number of brokers. We are already working on finding solutions to
avoid increasing the brokers’ fees or decreasing services. As for Centris, it is the right moment that
services are improved by opening the door to new developers. As for the Collège, the last couple
of years were extremely rewarding. It should continue to offer excellent services to brokers and to
future brokers. I would also like to see the Collège in charge of qualify courses for the UFC program,
and probably at a lower cost for brokers.
What skills will you bring to the Board of Directors?
My experience as a broker: 11 years. My experience as an office manager: 3 years. Very knowledgeable in technology serving brokers through Centris. My experience extends also to the following:
Since spring 2015 : President of the Board of the Collège de lmmobilier, President of the Audit &
Finance Committee, Treasurer on the Board of the GMREB. Background: studied in administration.
Have you ever been involved in one or more of the GMREB’s committees, or in any other

new business opportunities for real estate brokers.

Why would you like to be involved as a Director of the GMREB?
For the past two years, I have been a member of the GMREB Board of Directors. Upon my arrival, I
became aware of the amount of pending files and of the fact that so many were accumulating.
I clearly understand the importance of the GMREB when it comes to critical decisions that
influence the profession in Montreal and in the rest of Quebec. I believe that constant improvement
of the Centris tool for members, good management of public relations and improved collaboration
between real estate agents are some of the steps to achieve, what would be my ideal in real estate.
Meaning that, within the next 5 years, 95% of buyers and sellers will perceive the benefits of
working with a real estate agent without having the illusion of economy on transactions when
working without an agent.
What skills will you bring to the Board of Directors?
The fact that I am in constantly contact with buyers, sellers and real estate agents, I remain in the
heart of the action in the reality of the real estate business. I see the advantages of certain tools and
the constraints of some regulations that our profession imposes. This direct involvement gives me
the opportunity to hear about and understand the reality of our practice. This allows me to bring to
the Board of Directors’ agenda and to other committees, situations that concern us daily and
ultimately enable us to make sustainable changes.
Have you ever been involved in one or more of the GMREB’s committees, or in any other
organization? If so, which one(s)?
• Work group on advertising and public relations
• Work group on the practice of real estate brokerage
• Work group on real estate agent’s offered services and on the integrated communications plan.
Other relevant information.
Many things are worked on and achieved by the GMREB, however only a fraction is known and
recognized by members. One of the challenges I am looking forward to in the next term, is to better
demonstrate the direct and indirect benefits that the GMREB provides to agents.

and a Real Estate Coach in a banner in full expansion mode and amazing growth. I like to share my

Why would you like to be involved as a Director of the GMREB?
I was part of the GMREB Board of Directors from 2005 to 2013. I want to come back to share my
technological knowledge, my communication and public relation skills, as well my networking.
Regularly, I participate in conventions and training to keep me on top and keep me aware of all
those new technologies for the real estate business and new ways to do real estate.
What skills will you bring to the Board of Directors?
As mentioned above, my continued training across Canada and the US, allows me to maintain a
global vision of real estate worldwide and have my Montreal colleagues benefit from this knowledge.
My involvement in the Regional Groups for 8 years, will be put to use to help increase the quality of
collaboration in between us as professionals, for the benefit of our clients.
Have you ever been involved in one or more of the GMREB’s committees, or in any other
organization? If so, which one(s)?
Absolutely ! Starting in 2000, I was part of the West Island Regional Group. Then in 2005, I was
elected as a member of the Board of Directors for 4 terms. I was the Regional Groups’ President
during those 4 terms. I also participate in other committees during those 8 years. I am an ALC
member (Associates Leadership Council) at KW Urbain. An ALC is the equivalent of a Board of
Directors.

In 2013/2014, I took a Coaching training programme with IPEC, in Toronto. It allowed me to increase
my listening skills and to be able to help my colleagues to perform at higher standards. In fact, at

Describe yourself in a few words.
Determined and militant summarizes me well. I often say that we must be militant and
believe in our plus value as a real estate broker. I am totally convinced of our important
contribution to the economy and society. One should be “crazy” to go without a real estate
broker. I am determined to work for the defense of brokers as a business group. We have
distinctive advantages I wish to promote publicly.
Why would you like to be involved as a Director of the GMREB?
Officer of the GMREB from 2012 to 2014, my main motivation has always been to defend
the interests of brokers, whose only customer is the client. I want to continue to bring
that voice to the board. Which must guide the actions of the GMREB are three principles:
Competition that stimulates, cooperation that strengthens and solidarity that unites. In this
sense, the GMREB must invest in projects that enhance the broker and these 3 principles.
What skills will you bring to the Board of Directors?
My academic and professional career has always focused on the analysis of socioeconomic
factors that determine residential choices. Graduated Bachelor of Economic Science and a
Masters in Urban Planning, i am a Real Estate Broker since 2003. Before that, I was a
journalist, reporter and editor in TV production and researcher for socioeconomic studies.
I have been interested in the housing business for over 25 years. I am also concerned by
real estate law. I believe that to be an an Officer and a real estate broker requires varied
experiences.
Have you ever been involved in one or more of the GMREB’s committees, or in any other
organization? If so, which one(s)?
I was officer of the GMREB from May 2012 to February 2014. I participated in committees
of advertising and governance.
Other relevant information.
An organization like the GMREB must constantly renew itself and try new approaches. For
years now, we have been finger pointing to the public the risks of not doing a real estate
transaction with a broker. By doing so, we have been reducing to silence the real advantages of doing business with a broker and all the other aspects of our role in the transaction.
The risk for us is that the consumer eventually forget our reason for being.
