Founded in 1980, RE/MAX Professionals North was the first RE/MAX Office in Ontario. Under the leadership of Frank’s daughter, Pamela Alexander, the brokerage grew exponentially and into multiple locations. In 1995, Pamela joined the Regional Office of RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada (now known as RE/MAX INTEGRA) as the Regional Director and soon after was promoted to CEO & Managing Director, North American Operations.
RE/MAX Professionals North is now under the ownership of Leah Ambler, Pamela’s daughter. Growing up around real estate entrepreneurs and visionaries, Leah witnessed the passion that built the RE/MAX brand in Canada. As a third-generation brokerage owner, Leah is the principle reason that RE/MAX Professionals North maintains its top position in sales in the Etobicoke and Bloor West area year-over-year.
RE/MAX INTEGRA changed the Canadian landscape for real estate and currently owns rights to the brand in 5 states, 5 provinces, and all of Europe. Leah’s brother, Christopher Alexander, is the Executive Vice President and Regional Director, Ontario-Atlantic Region, and her uncle, Michael Polzler, is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director for Europe.
With close ties to its global brand and international real estate arms, RE/MAX Professionals North has been successfully operating for over 40 years.
In the 1970s, Polzler Real Estate – The Action People was a well-respected real estate brokerage with multiple branch offices in the West End, owned and operated by Frank Polzler. A true visionary, Polzler, with a partner in Walter Schneider, recognized the industry needed a paradigm shift and in 1980 bought the rights to RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada, converting his offices to RE/MAX Professionals North.
