A fourth generation Rota in Kamloops, multi year award-winning full time REALTOR® Blair Rota had the pleasure of growing up in a community that offers endless athletic, recreational and business opportunities. With a shared strong connection to the city, the Rotas have always made real estate and helping others their family business. Blair’s grandfather, Bert Foster, owned and operated a successful real estate office in Kamloops and his father, Randy Rota, was a highly respected financial advisor and professional hockey player for forty years combined. Moreover, his uncle, Darcy Rota, played for the Canucks. Blair's mother, Vicki was a dedicated school teacher and full time "family manager"! Raised in such a strong and well-rounded environment, it was only natural that Blair would pursue a career focused on bettering the lives of others too.
As Blair notes, “I also pursued a career in hockey, but quickly realized I just wasn't as good at hockey as my dad and uncle!" Instead, his experiences led him to the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton where he studied business for two years, earning a diploma in marketing. Putting his entrepreneurial spirit to the test, he owned and operated a successful vinyl fencing and decking Installation company for five years. Prior to that, he also worked in the log home building industry for four years. Today, this combined experience has proven invaluable to his clients who trust his keen eye for various construction and building standards.
Blair’s success in real estate has been built on establishing honest and trusting relationships. Beginning in 2007 and after only three short years in the business, he landed in the top 5% of selling REALTORS® where he has remained to present date. Early on, he made it his mission to tighten what he perceived as a gap between consumers and real estate agents, where issues around trust, service and communication were all too common.
Milestone achievements include recognition by Mibroc Group and the Kamloops Daily News for his efforts in helping sell out Phase 1 & 2 of the Talasa development where he sold more units than any other REALTOR® at the grand opening day event. In 2008, Blair earned Platinum Realty Kamloops agent of the year in 2008. Blair moved his business to Remax Kamloops in 2011 where his success continued earning him the coveted Platinum Club Award consecutively. He has set numerous records for the highest sale to date (2018*) in neighborhoods & strata complex's throughout the city. Blair now prides himself on helping any Kamloops & Area Buyer's and Seller's reach their goals in any price range where he has specialized in the Luxury & entry level type properties.
