Largest Conversion in REMAX History Brings Two Toronto Brokerages, 17 Offices into Global Network

The two aligned but separate brokerages have operated for years as Royal LePage Your Community Realty and Royal LePage Connect Realty. Starting today, they’re doing business as REMAX Your Community Realty and REMAX Connect Realty, remaining under the leadership of real estate powerhouses Vivian Risi, Michelle Risi and Justin Risi. The family is ecstatic to be joining the REMAX brand to benefit their real estate agents and positively impact their future growth opportunities.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Vivian, Michelle, Justin and their sales associates into the global REMAX community,” said REMAX CEO Erik Carlson. “Their decision reflects the strength of the REMAX brand and reinforces our current strategic direction. The many advancements we made last year – in technology, marketing, strategy, digital presence, social media, global presence and much more – played a huge role in bringing these tremendous leaders on board.”

“REMAX aligns with our growth ambitions and checks every box – opportunity for strategic growth, commercial and luxury emphasis, global reach, brand strength and recruiting power,” said Vivian Risi, a prominent industry leader in Toronto for several decades. “The industry is changing, and we want our agents to have the global reach, resources and support.”

Vivian Risi purchased an 18-agent Toronto office in 1994 and grew it into what it has become today. Their growth reflects years of hard work, a customer-first approach and commitment to community – values that closely align with REMAX.

“REMAX was created to help top performers thrive, and this outstanding family operation fits perfectly in our network of trusted, productive professionals,” said REMAX Canada President Don Kottick. “With more tools, services, systems and competitive advantages, there’s no limit on what these new affiliates can achieve. They’ll quickly experience the edge that comes from being with the country’s – and world’s – most productive real estate network.”
