GUEST SPEAKERS

Virginia Munden

The Greatest Shift Since the Industrial Revolution

Aligned with KIC Realty’s core values, Virginia Munden will explore how to build community in a rapidly evolving real estate landscape. Blending timeless relationship-based principles with modern strategies, this session will provide practical insights to help agents adapt and lead with purpose.

VIRGINIA’S BIO:

With over 3 decades in Canadian Real Estate, Virginia Munden has built a reputation as a force for change. Inspired by the work ethic of her Italian immigrant parents, she began her career as a REALTOR® with her husband, Wayne, quickly rising to the Top 5 in their office and the Top 100 within a major Canadian brand. By 2010, her success made her a sought-after speaker, coach, and mentor.  Today, as co-founder of Buzz Buzz Media Inc. with her daughter Isabella Munden, their company has become Canada’s premier media and marketing agency, serving entrepreneurs, business professionals, leaders, thinkers, and innovators.

The Power of Repetition - Why You Can’t Outperform Someone Who Does More Reps

In an industry evolving faster than ever – shaped by technology, shifting consumer expectations, and constant noise – it’s tempting to search for the breakthrough tactic, the shortcut, the next big edge. But high performance doesn’t come from novelty.  It comes from repetition. This presentation will challenge agents and leaders to stop chasing hacks and start committing to habits. It will demonstrate how consistent execution compounds over time, how integrity is reinforced through repeated behavior, and how community is strengthened through steady presence.

Understanding the Economic Forces That Are Shaping Our Markets

As REALTORS®, we operate in a market shaped by economic forces, policy decisions, consumer confidence, and shifting housing trends. Understanding those forces is essential to how we advise, protect, and lead our clients.  

 

Chris Jokel from CREA will advise us on the current state of real estate economics in Canada, what’s happening nationally, how it impacts us regionally, and how we can position ourselves strategically in the months ahead.
