HIGH ACHIEVEMENT FQ
‘NORTH SHORE REALTORS

“WITH THE return of the 10 year mortgage, and
with metro immigration on the rise, we are entering
a balanced property market where both buyer and

seller can win.”

So began the theme of the
West Vancouver Medallion
Club Awards, held Tuesday
morning at the International
Plaza. One by one, the win-
ners trooped up to receive the
awards, that symbolized
making it in a tough 1984

out with 19 Medallion Club
Members for 1984, and that’s
tops for the North Shore.
Crest and Sutton were also
well represented. Jack
Hamer-Jackson of Sutton
Realty was head-and-

shoulders above the pack —
with most volume overall,
and a Special Medallion
Clubhouse recipient.

Mortgage rates of around
10%, plus a return to natural

meeting expressed not so

copied real estate board in
Canada. We comprise 10%
of all members in the Cana-
dian Real Estate Association,
and did 844%. of the

business. That's 3.2 billion
dollars done in B.C., and
we’re only one of the 13

The West Vancouver
Board joined in 1954, while
North Vancouver has been a
separate division of the
boards since the mid-fifties.

Superintendant of the West

His point was that West Van-

crossroads’ between becom-
