From thought-provoking presentations to hands-on training, the event celebrated the collective energy, talent, and spirit that make the INITIA community thrive.
A Stage Full of Insight and Expertise
Our speakers were the heartbeat of INITI8 2025. Jonathan Yu, founder and visionary behind INITIA Real Estate, kicked off the day by sharing company updates and insights from his journey in real estate. With a career rooted in mentorship and agent empowerment, Jonathan’s session reminded everyone of the importance of support, guidance, and authentic connection in achieving long-term success.

Timber Haus shared their award-winning approach, offering practical and inspiring strategies for elevating client experiences and creating spaces that resonate with modern homeowners.
Bold Trail led multiple hands-on sessions throughout the day, providing agents with practical tools and CRM strategies to strengthen client relationships and streamline their workflows.
From philanthropy to economic outlooks, INITI8 featured sessions that touched every corner of the real estate industry. CIBC Client Portfolio Manager Greg Zdzienicki offered insights into economic trends, interest rates, and market growth, engaging attendees with an interactive prize draw that kept energy high throughout the day. Ron Tite, marketing and purpose-driven leadership expert, closed the day with an inspiring talk that blended creativity, leadership, and humor leaving everyone motivated to elevate their business and brand.
Our partners at Requity Homes also shared their expertise, while an internal INITIA trainer guided attendees through the innovative Trainer Program, highlighting the tools and mentorship available to agents.
Celebrating Our Sponsors
INITI8 2025 would not have been possible without our incredible sponsors: TELUS Business, Prime Time Signs, Requity Homes, UniFi Lending, and Timber Haus. Their support ensured a seamless experience for all attendees from cutting-edge presentations to engaging networking opportunities and reinforced the spirit of collaboration that defines INITIA.
Philanthropy partner
We want to recognize the efforts our agents have put into donating in support of this great cause.

We are so proud of all of our agents for making ongoing contributions which are making such a difference in the community.
