New directors

E&O’s current Chair, Liz Tutt, and Past Chair, Scott Veitch, will be retiring from the Board of Directors early in the new year after having each served two three-year terms. E&O extends its gratitude to Liz and Scott for their years of service and extensive contributions.

We welcome our two newest appointees, Dennis Fimrite, who has been appointed by the Real Estate Council of BC, and Scott Wallace, who has been appointed by BCREA.

Dennis Fimrite is a Managing Broker (Trading, Rental Property Management and Strata) at Firm Management Corporation in Victoria, where he has worked since he was licensed in BC in 1995. Prior to that, he spent five years as a commercial real estate salesperson in Edmonton. In addition to his extensive experience in commercial property and strata management, Mr. Fimrite has served with the Victoria Real Estate Board as chair of the commercial division, a member of the board and, eventually, president. He has also served as a member of the Real Estate Council of BC.

Scott Wallace is the Managing Broker (Trading and Rental Property Management) licensed with MaxWell Realty Invermere, with more than 17 years of experience. He was recently a director of the Kootenay Real Estate Board and a member of BCREA’s Standard Forms Committee. Prior to become a licensed real estate salesperson, Mr. Wallace spent more than 24 years as an insurance broker in Calgary. His background in both real estate and insurance will be an asset to E&O.
