Avison Young

In just six years, Avison Young has grown from 400 people across Canada to more than 1700 real estate professionals across the globe. Is the reason for the rapid growth our culture? Our business approach? Our track record of success and our disciplined strategy for expansion?

Perhaps Avison Young chair and CEO Mark Rose explained it best in a blog post: “Our client list has grown significantly over the past three years as occupiers and investors become aware of our industry-leading client-service model. Our Principal-led culture ensures that the client, the execution team and the shareholders are completely aligned. We do not employ the age-old pyramid structure, where business units report up through layers of managers and are pitted against each other to deliver for shareholders who are not involved in the day-to-day business. We work together as a team to meet all stakeholder goals, deliver results and, most importantly, have fun doing it!”
