Episode #19 – Randy Dyck – Uncommon, exceptional, extraordinary and superb

“If my intent is pure, I’m going to do the best I can. I want my intent to be pure in how I think process for the people that are involved in whatever the situation is. And if that is true to my heart, and I really want to be pure about my intent, then I’ve done the best I can. And in most cases the result is Eximus”

Growing up on a farm in small town Alberta with a family of six, the appreciation for hard work and discipline was instilled in Randy at a young age. A life-changing accident as a teenager also fueled a drive and determination for excellence which Randy has woven into every facet of his life.

Getting into the real estate game early on, Randy has honed a practical and grounded business philosophy: work hard, treat people fairly, give straight advice, and success in business will follow. It’s that attitude and belief that has led him to be an award-winning realtor year after year.

Randy owns and operates a top producing, full-service real estate company in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, Eximus Real Estate Team. Over the past 25 years, Randy and the Eximus team have sold over 4,500 properties throughout the Fraser Valley and Vancouver’s lower mainland.

In addition to business excellence, Randy and his wife of 30 years, Jolene, are proud parents and recently welcomed a son-in-law into their fold.

While Randy loves the business he’s created (with no plans to stop), his priority is his family and their well being. Randy is also committed to his own self-care and, in addition to training at the gym, his new passion is kite surfing.

Randy is a veteran REIN Member real estate investor who has graced the REIN stage many times to share his knowledge and insights. He operates from his heart first, and leads with the pure intention to inspire and support the journey of others.
