REACH Canada

🦃 While our American friends were preparing for Thanksgiving last week, we at REACH Canada were busy hosting an event that reminded us of what we’re most grateful for—our partnerships across the real estate tech industry! Just days before Thanksgiving, we teamed up with the Vancouver Proptech Collective crew to co-host the December social as part of our Vancouver IMPACT day! The team of Charmaine Wong, Leon Ng, Selly SJ Park, Kelly H., Anthony Paes-Braga and Maria Yoma nailed the event - it was such a vibe! Amazing people, cool location, and fantastic networking for all. While this was one event, it highlights how amazing the entire real estate tech community is and how grateful we are to be a part of it! So to all of our partners across Canada and the US, we want you to know that we are SO thankful for all of you and so excited to keep building on what comes next! 📸 #Photocredits to the Proptech Collective!
