In the latest CREB®Cast episode, Lori Olijnyk, the 2025 REALTOR® of the Year Award - T.W.H. (Bill) Saunders Memorial Award recipient, shares lessons from 16 years in real estate and a decade in oil and gas as a surface landman—where relationship-building, trust, and verifiable information were everything.
Lori explains how volunteering (including six years on the CREB® Board of Directors and five on the Critical Illness Benefit Society) builds connection in a “lonely job,” strengthens the profession as a community, and broadens perspective.
She also recalls the surprise and full-circle moment of receiving the award, offers advice to new REALTORS®, and previews an accessibility housing focus inspired by her father becoming an amputee.
