Regina, SK (Grassroots Newswire) 07/07/2009 — Regina real estate broker/owner Loretta Hughes is only one of two Canadians to be invited to be a ‘Break-Out Session’ speaker at the EXIT Realty Corp. International Annual Convention. Over 2,000 brokers and REALTORS are expected to attend the week-long convention in late September in Washington, D.C. They will come from throughout the United States and Canada.
“This is a great honour for Loretta, as it is something limited to only a handful of our International EXIT associates,” said Joyce Paron, Canadian President of EXIT Realty. “We’re all very proud of her.”
Loretta is the broker and owner of EXIT Realty Fusion, which has become Regina’s fastest growing real estate company since its inception just over a year ago. She is also the only Saskatchewan broker and one of only a handful of brokers in Canada to hold the designation of Eco-Broker, which she gained through an online course.
She will speak to the convention on why it is important to be “a green real estate company” and how to go about training staff and setting one up.
“Loretta is leading by example, setting a wonderful example in her initiative and commitment to make a difference in the real estate community,” said Paron.
“The environment has become something that is of major importance to the majority of Canadians,” said Hughes. “Buying a home is also a major investment and it just made sense to me that REALTORS should be infinitely aware of environmental issues that affect homes and home-buyers. Everything from furnaces to windows and in between all have some impact on the environment.”
Born and raised on the family farm in Pelly, Loretta has been in real estate for 16 years now and has amassed numerous sales awards and awards for community involvement. “Our company and our people truly believe in Regina and we involve ourselves in as many charity events as we can,” Hughes said.
