I look forward to working with her and seeing the amazing places that she can take our association, members, and the industry in the future. Welcome, Chris!”
The SRA has ambitious goals, and Guérette will provide leadership and strategic guidance to provide expert-led service that is committed to creating a member-centric organization that provides technologically advanced tools, comprehensive education, ethical regulation, and forward-thinking advocacy. To accomplish this, the SRA must be on the leading edge of real estate. We want to innovate and lead the change our industry needs.

Previously, she was Chief Operating Officer (COO) for the Association of Saskatchewan REALTORS®. She was appointed to governance, ethics, and marketing committees with both the Canadian Real Estate Association and the Ontario Real Estate Association.
Under Guérette’s leadership, the SRA will seek to innovate and lead change that fosters membership growth and education, evolves, and improves service delivery, adds strength to our advocacy efforts and places member needs at the centre of our goals.
Saskatchewan real estate has been a pillar of economic strength during the pandemic. In 2020, home sales totalled $3.95B. REALTORS® are proud to serve the community as an allowable service and believe everyone deserves a place to call home.
