The Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) announced the appointment of Rick Kedzior as its 2024 president.
Kedzior has been an Oakville-based broker with Re/Max Aboutowne Realty Corp. since August 1994. In his new role, he will be representing Ontario’s nearly 100,000 realtors on the 2024 OREA board of directors.
“I’m honored to be taking on the important role of OREA president in 2024 and I look forward to working with our realtor members and member boards to improve the real estate profession today and for the future,” said Kedzior. “We can only get there by working and collaborating as a team, so I encourage all of our members and leaders to come together for the next generation of realtors and continue the fight to keep the dream of homeownership alive for all Ontarians.”
OREA also announced the election of Cathy Polan as 2024 president-elect. Polan is a Belleville-based real estate salesperson with Royal Lepage ProAlliance Realty and will also serve as provincial director for Northeastern Ontario for the upcoming year.
“As realtors, we love nothing more than making sure that young Ontarians and their families get the keys to a great place to call home, in the vibrant communities they want to live in,” said Polan, adding that he will “look forward to holding the government’s feet to the fire when it comes to addressing the housing supply crisis, while also serving our members so they can stay ahead in this competitive real estate market.”
