What is Royal LePage^® InvestorsEdge™?

At its core, the program marries insight and opportunity. Insights are provided through a Masterclass Series, powered by the expertise of Playbook™, whose founders bring 40 years of collective investment real estate experience to the course. Opportunities are provided as you work with new and existing clients looking to become investors, and through investors searching for investor-potential property and pre-construction listings on the Royal LePage^® Investors Edge™ website – part of the highly trafficked royallepage.ca – which will launch on December 17th.

Why is this a great opportunity for business growth? Because Canada’s real estate investors currently total 4.4 million Canadians, 32% of whom own two or more investment properties. And, it’s a growing segment, with 26% of Canadians reporting in a recent Royal LePage survey* that they are likely to buy an investment property by 2028.

What is in it for you: A more diverse, resilient and profitable business

For Royal LePage agents, the benefits of RLP InvestorsEdge extend far beyond conventional real estate knowledge. This program equips you with the tools and insights to build a more diverse, resilient and profitable business. By delving into the investment segment of real estate, you can develop a business model that is more resistant to the seasonal ebbs and flows of residential sales, as well as more lucrative and prestigious. Catering to real estate investors also diversifies your client base beyond individuals buying and selling based on major life events, ensuring a steadier stream of business. And, through the Masterclass Series, you will learn how to identify and share real estate investment opportunities with your existing database.

This diversification not only enhances your professional repertoire but also solidifies your standing as a versatile and knowledgeable expert in the real estate field.  

The RLP InvestorsEdge Masterclass Series provides a transformative career path. Make the strategic move to elevate your business, supported by the strength and recognition of Canada’s leading real estate brand and the proven experience and educational know-how of Playbook.
