Parm Sidhu joins Re/Max Elite as broker of record

 

Re/Max Elite has appointed Parm Sidhu as its new broker of record and operations manager. With 18 years of experience in Alberta real estate, Sidhu will manage operations across all three Re/Max Elite offices in Edmonton, offering strategic direction and agent support.

Previously, Sidhu helped grow Alberta’s largest non-franchise brokerage, increasing its agent count from 50 to over 1,300 in six years. Her approach emphasized compliance, accountability, and development.

A Canadian Army veteran, she leads with structure and service. She has also served on the boards of the Alberta Real Estate Association and the Realtors Association of Edmonton.

“I’m excited to join Re/Max Elite and lead a brokerage that shares my values of professionalism, transparency, and excellence,” said Sidhu.

Retirements

 

Century 21 Canada broker Marg Bowlen retires after four decades of leadership

 

Marg Bowlen has stepped down as broker-owner of Century 21 Trident in Dartmouth, NS. after more than 40 years with the company. She began her career in 1980 as the office secretary when the brokerage first opened and became office manager in 1986. She was licensed the following year and became co-owner with Gary Chambers. In 1988, Bowlen became the broker.

Throughout her career, Bowlen focused on building strong operations and supporting agent growth. Under her leadership, the office developed a reputation for consistency and agent support. She worked closely with her leadership team, including longtime colleague Lisa Surette.

She also served with the provincial association for many years, offering input on real estate issues in the province. Outside of real estate, she supported several community programs, including youth hockey leagues, school breakfast programs, and Century 21 Canada’s national charitable partner, the Easter Seals Kids to Camp Program.

Surette, who worked alongside her for years, said, “She’s the kind of friend you always want in your corner… when the agents succeed, the company succeeds. And she has lived that truth every single day.”

Century 21 Trident will continue operations under its current team.
