story of another innovative canadian business that helped shape our country and the national- real estate industry royal lepage real estate services ltd it began in 1913 as a oneman shop in toronto founded by albert edward lepage in addition to laying the foundation for royal lepages growth and corpo rate longevity lepage established the golden rules of real estate which are still practiced today snapshot of the real estate industry 19001913 during the early- part of the century selling real was a seasonal occu pation never during the summer months or from november to january and atten tive clientagent relationships were not regularly practiced most real estate offices contained only one or two phones which were shared among all brokers and because very few salesmen owned cars clients would place a dollar deposit for a house key which was kept on a wallboard in the office of the home they fancied and then went off to view it in keeping with the entrepreneurial spirit of the times lepage saw an opportunity to set a new course for the real estate industry by establishing new standards of customer service he transported buyers from house to house by car pioneered the art of follow- up in an effortto maximize the client sat isfaction and was the first realtor to place descriptive ads in the newspaper his first ad placed in the toronto telegram in 1913 generated 57

guaranteed heating builtin ironing board for other particulars call ae lepage bungalow specialist lepage purchased his own car and telephone and began to aggressively pur sue clients during the rest periods of the year summer and christmas he drove his clients to and from homes they were interested in viewing a truly innovative gesture of the time growing population creates housing demand two decades later canadas popula tion had increased from 7207000 in 1911 to 1 1 507000 in 1941 naturally this population growth had a profound impact on real estate markets arid creat ed a great demand for housing to meet this demand lepage ven tured into a new area of real estate sub divisions his first venture was the divi sion of lady eatons ardwold gate estate near casa loma in toronto into 30 individual lots with the second estate he subdivided sir albert gboderhams in rosedale lepage faced construction problems because of woody ravinelike terrain on the property using a strategy similar to one he had seen in california lepage devised a way to pattern the lots by anchoring homes to the sides of the ravine thereby using little table land this development plan was unheard of in canada at the time yet the estates executors accepted lep ages radical layout and the subdivision sold out in record time development of industry associations as real estate developed ethics com mittees and business associations began to form to govern the industry and pro mote this sector to clients and to poten tial sales representatives lepage was one of the most active promoters for the establishment of the toronto real estate board and ontario association of real estate boards he later became president of treb in 1928 passing the torch lepage retired in 1953 selling the firm bearing his name to brian magee the companys top salesman ron sanderson a business associate and jirncollett lepages nephew fast forward to 1998 this year on the occasion of their 85th anniversary royal lepage real
