Dear Friends,
For the past decade, RankMyAgent.com has been my passion project—born from a belief that real estate is, at its heart, about community. Every home sold, every family moved, every relationship built—it’s all about the experiences that shape our lives.
We built RankMyAgent.com to connect the very best real estate professionals with the buyers, sellers, and renters who need them most, and to raise the standard of care and trust within our industry.
Today, nearly 20,000 agents across Canada have joined us, and together we’ve created a solid network that’s generated over 100,000 verified reviews. This growth has only been possible thanks to the incredible real estate leaders, brokerages, franchises, and partners such as REALTOR.ca who have believed in our mission.
But two years ago, a single conversation deepened my perspective.
When I met Steve Kaufer, co-founder of TripAdvisor, he reminded me that real success isn’t just measured in growth—it’s measured in how we invest in the communities around us. Hearing about his social initiative, Give Freely, inspired me to think about the impact RankMyAgent.com could make beyond our platform.
That moment led to something I’m especially proud of: this summer’s launch of the Featured Agent Program—a charitable initiative focused on giving back to the very communities where we live, work, and build our businesses.
The response has been incredible. Through this program, the real estate community has already helped strengthen health care, food and poverty relief, and children and youth support. Since our pilot launch, we’ve raised over $5K this year—a small but meaningful step toward bigger impact. Our goal is to double this contribution in 2026.
Here is a breakdown of the sectors real estate professionals have chosen to contribute to as of September 2025.
Across Canada, our community is backing incredible organizations: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary, Calgary Homeless Foundation, Inn from the Cold, Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, CHEO Foundation, Distress Centre Calgary, SickKids Foundation, Habitat for Humanity Canada, Edmonton’s Food Bank, Food Banks Mississauga, Our Place Peel, Wilderness Committee, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, Covenant House Vancouver, Meals on Wheels London, Ottawa Humane Society, Rotary Club of Brampton Community Charity, Global Pets & Animal Foundation, Regina Food Bank, Mackenzie Health Foundation, IWK Foundation, KGH Foundation, Dragonfly Pond Family Society, Victoria Cool Aid Society, and The Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.
Real estate will always be about more than transactions—it’s about neighbours, neighbourhoods, and the connections that make a place feel like home. Through the Featured Agent Program, we’re proving that when we invest in our communities, we build something far greater than sales—we build trust, resilience, and hope.
Together, we can continue building stronger communities—one agent, and one act of giving, at a time. Learn more about the Featured Agent program.
Thank you for your continued support in our journey!
Best wishes,
