About Royal LePage       " Our Proud History "

It all started in 1913 with a man named Albert E. LePage. A Canadian Albert LePage revolutionized the real estate industry in this country by being the first agent in Toronto to turn buying and selling homes into a accessible and professional enterprise. He actively sought clients through follow-up inquires, took buyers from house to house by car and used descriptive ads in newspapers - all industry standards today. He was also instrumental in establishing the Toronto Real Estate Board which raised the standards of the industry. By the time he retired in 1953, Mr. LePage had moved the company beyond the residential market and into home building and the subdivision and sale of estates.

Albert E. LePage began with a vision of what a company with his name on the door (and the words "For Sale" on a sign) should represent: impeccable professionalism, principled conduct and the highest moral and ethical standards. Today, more than 80 years later, these principles still guide us in everything we do.

Here, at a glance, is how we got where we are today:

• 1955 - 1960 commercial division developed
• By 1967, A.E. LePage has expanded beyond Toronto and by 1970, beyond Ontario through a series of mergers and acquisitions
• In 1974, the company moved into real estate development with the incorporation of Canlea Ltd.
• In 1984 A.E. LePage and Royal Trust merged their real estate brokerage and fee businesses, naming the new company Royal LePage
• In 1987 Royal LePage became a 54% owned division with the Trilon Financial Group

Royal LePage is a publicly owned company with shares on the Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver stock exchanges. We are firmly established as the leading diversified real estate services organization in the country.
