Invermere's Rockies West Royal LePage has recently moved to a brand new, higher visibility location at the Invermere crossroad next to Tim Hortons.
It is now situated in the 4,000-square-foot space that used to be the home of Pamper Yourself Spa. The new building, which was officially opened in mid-October 2011, offers a spacious professional office from which the staff can serve the real estate needs of the Columbia Valley. The company previously was located in Athalmer across from Huckleberries restaurant.
“Overall the location, layout and atmosphere are superior to what we had previously,” Barry Benson, one of the branch owners, told the Columbia Valley Pioneer newspaper. “For our sellers we are now providing a high-profile location with significant traffic to better showcase their properties. For buyers we have a great, easy-to-find location and a pleasant, comfortable, professional office.”
The real estate company employs 11 people of which nine are licensed realtors.
