Andre Major

I have been a licensed real estate broker for over 40 years (1978), following a successful family tradition started with my grandfather in the 1930's, extending to both my parents and siblings. Throughout my real estate career, I have helped countless buyers, sellers and agents realize their real estate dreams. In addition to practicing my trade in Ottawa, I was licensed real estate broker in Alberta and California. I launched, managed and/or owned five real estate offices, hiring and training over 375 agents over a 20 year period. I was also a development-land purchase & sale specialist at Royal LePage Commercial, now Cushman Wakefield. I was also the National Manager of Practice Solutions' Tenant Lease Services at the Canadian Medical Association, leading a team of commercial property experts who advised over 70, 000 member physicians across the country on clinic leasing and office development matters. For 6 years until 2016, I applied my accumulated real estate negotiation and analysis experience helping the City of Ottawa as a real estate acquisitions consultant for the Light Rapid Transit (LRT) project. My primary focus was team negotiations related to integrating the 6 tunnel station entrances with major adjacent office and retail malls. I earned an Economics and Urban Studies degree from York University ('77), an MBA from the University of Ottawa ('98) and completed a "Certified Commercial Investment Member" designation ('85) from the CCIM Institute of Chicago. My hobbies include landscape oil painting and commercial drone photography & video productions. My wife Janet and I live in the Ottawa suburb of Alta Vista, where we brought-up three amazing daughters (and a few happy dogs).
