Rob Philipp is the new executive officer of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.
He takes over from Ken MacKenzie, who retired Aug. 31 after 30 years in the position.
“We are confident Rob is an excellent choice for our board and membership,” board president Paul Penner said. “He has been described as strategic, innovative, inclusive and outgoing, and has a strong background in leadership, sales and marketing.”
Philipp, a chartered accountant, was most recently client services director for PricewaterhouseCoopers, growing key relationships with privately owned companies. He is enthusiastic about working with a strong, member-driven association.
“The calibre of the members and staff is nothing short of exceptional,” says Philipp. “Add to that the growth and potential of the Fraser Valley, one of the fastest developing regions in Canada, and you have a tremendous opportunity.”
Early in his career, Philipp completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Urban Land Economics at UBC, followed by a period with Canada Permanent Trust in real estate sales and management. He has experience working with volunteer boards and is married with two children, ages 16 and 19.
Fraser Valley Real Estate Board is an association of 2,944 real estate professionals who live and work in the communities of North Delta, Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford and Mission. Its head office is in Surrey.
