REALTORS® serving Calgary and area

The REALTOR® of the Year – T.W.H. (Bill) Saunders Memorial Award is one of the most prestigious accolades a CREB® REALTOR® can receive. Recipients of the award are true professionals and exemplify caring and humanity for the communities they work in.

Thomas William Henry Saunders (1903 -1977), known to all as simply "Bill", was an outstanding CREB® REALTOR® who inspired many with his professional excellence and contributions to the community. After his passing, the board of directors created an award in his memory to continue inspiring real estate professionals to be the best they can be, giving back to both the industry and the greater community.

To qualify for this prestigious award, nominees must be involved in CREB® committees and actively contribute to the greater community through volunteerism and charity.


Congratulations to our 2022 REALTOR® of the Year, David Frid!
