REALTORS® Build Your Business with DFH Real Estate
Choosing a real estate brokerage – The DFH Difference
Local company or franchise – is there really a difference? We believe there’s a big difference. Locally owned and managed means we share the same neighbours and we make our decisions without having to clear it with some head office in Toronto or elsewhere.
DFH Real Estate offers a very unique working experience – DFH REALTORS® have a 60+ year reputation for caring about their colleagues and they practice the Real Estate Profession in a collaborative, helpful, team-like (and yes, fun) atmosphere. We often hear “I never feel like I’m working alone because there’s always someone to help”.
At DFH, we believe that a successful, fulfilling real estate career is about balance. We encourage our REALTORS® to be fully engaged with their communities and spend as much quality time as they can on their favourite hobbies and other pursuits when they aren’t working. DFH is also about families – we’ve noticed that great REALTORS® have the full support of their families and we do what we can to recognize that support. That includes fun company events for our REALTORS®, staff and their families. A company sponsored Christmas dinner is a great way to celebrate the past year’s success and look forward to the year ahead.
The DFH difference also includes full-time, “non-competing” Managing Brokers who are available for support and advice. A fully staffed conveyance department means that your contracts are filed properly and sent to the lawyers or notaries on time. Our reception staff is trained to make your clients feel at home. We are always searching for technological solutions to make our REALTORS® more efficient.

Testimonials for DFH Real Estate Ltd
“Reputation, community involvement and training were my keys for selecting DFH as a real estate company to work with.“
Dennis Guevin
“I considered all well established real estate companies and ended up with a short list of four companies to investigate further. DFH Real Estate Ltd. provided exactly what I needed. DFH had and has the flexibility in their training to give their new Realtors what they need. This combined with an unparalleled reputation and strong community involvement made my decision easy and the only one. Since I have been with DFH, I have seen our training program evolve into a program that works and is tangible to what a new Realtor needs to do to be doing to be successful.
The training aspect was particularly important to me. I had 15 years of solid sales experience with a major oil company. What I really wanted was help or training with things like assessing the value of a home, completing a listing agreement and a contract of purchase and sale, doing open houses, developing real estate systems, ideas to find new clients, etc.”
Dennis Guevin, DFH Real Estate
“Grey Cup Champion and member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame”
Entering the real estate business was an enormous and daunting departure from my previous twenty-four years as a middle school mathematics teacher. To embark on a career change of such magnitude, I knew that I would need a lot of help. When I interviewed real estate companies, the level of educational, collegial and moral support that they offered was my number one focus. Looking back and now knowing more about the industry, to have signed on with any firm other than DFH would have been a mistake for me. From the time I interviewed with DFH up to this very moment the Company’s owners and management, the support staff and the DFH realtors have met and exceeded all my expectations in all areas. Should you be interested in joining this exceptional company, I am always happy to discuss any questions you may have.
