A working list
Canadian Real Estate
Speakers Worth Booking.
Updated August 2026 · Listed alphabetically · This is not a ranking
Boards, associations, and brokerages reach out to me all the time with the same question: "Who do you know that can speak well on X?"
It happens because I'm on a lot of stages, I run Real Estate Magazine, and I've watched a lot of speakers work. So here's my answer, written down.
Two things about this list. First, it's specific: Canadian speakers, for the real estate industry. It's not a list of every good speaker I know. Second, one rule decides who's on it: if I haven't seen you deliver, you're not on it. Nobody paid to be here and this isn't a directory. These are people I've personally watched hold a room.
If you're not on this list and I've seen you speak, reach out. It's an error of omission, not a verdict.
