OAKVILLE, ON - Phil Soper, President of Royal LePage Canada, is pleased to announce that Rina DiRisio was recently recognized with the Billionaire’s Club award, presented by Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. The award is given to those who have achieved at least $1 billion in real estate sales throughout their career.
“For thirty years, Rina DiRisio has been a leader in our successful Oakville real estate business,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage. “She is energetic and hard-working, compassionate and 100% committed to her clients and their success. This prestigious award speaks to her professionalism. I can attest to her character as a human being. Well done, Rina!”
“I’m as passionate about real estate today as I was 30 years ago,” said DiRisio. “I love the industry and am honoured to have worked with so many wonderful clients over the years. I’m grateful for the support they’ve shown me. Being a lifelong resident of Oakville, this award is such a huge achievement, especially for the incredible team that I work with. It’s something we all share in.”
Having successfully started her own real estate career in 1989, DiRisio channels that success by mentoring professionals on her team who are pursuing their own careers in the industry. “It’s about helping them grow to their full potential,” she said. “It’s important that they have a vision of where they’re going and they must know the industry and the market. And they have to be tough. If something doesn’t work, learn from it and keep going.”
DiRisio and her team also give back to the communities where they live and work. Over the years, they’ve supported numerous local, regional and national organizations including the United Way, Kids’ Help Phone, Women’s Shelter Foundation, Kerr Street Mission, Safetynet and Halton Food For Thought.
