Re/Max Canada is ushering in a new era of leadership with the appointment of industry veteran Don Kottick as its new president.
A familiar face in the Canadian real estate landscape with more than 30 years of related experience—including recent tenure as president and CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada—Kottick steps into the role at a pivotal time for the brand, which recently underwent a digital rebrand. His extensive background spans brokerage management, franchise development, corporate strategy and real estate technology.
“We are thrilled to welcome Don as the new President of Re/Max Canada,” said Eric Carlson, CEO, Re/Max Holdings Inc. “His experience, strategic vision and proven success in growing major real estate brands will be invaluable as we continue to lead the way in Canadian market share.”
Kottick’s role and responsibilities
Based in Toronto, Kottick will oversee the operational direction and strategic support of the brand’s Canadian network, which includes more than 25,000 agents.
“I am excited to join this exceptional team and contribute to the next chapter of growth, increased agent productivity, and innovation for Re/Max Canada,” Kottick says in a press release. “I look forward to working alongside the talented Re/Max affiliates across the country to capitalize on what the brand is doing to modernize and forge ahead…”
Track record of growth and success
Under Kottick’s leadership, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada experienced significant expansion—doubling its agent count and reaching record-breaking sales volumes.
Former president of Re/Max Canada, Chris Alexander, tells REM, “I have known Don for many years, he is a true professional with a wealth of experience from almost every field in the industry. I am excited to see what he will bring to the table…”
Kottick officially steps into the role on Apr. 28.
