authoritys employees received at the begin rang of In comparison Halton Regional Conservation Authority approved a per cent 1991 salary increase Conservation Authority implemented a per cent increase for this year while the Upper Thames Authority ap proved a five per cent increase the report indicates According to Ms Barron the salary of CVCA staff members is adjusted yearly to accommodate any proposed purchasing power gained or lost by staff members Recognizing thai there is no single number that is published that can be referred to as the ab solute authority on economic gains or losses I

still has enthusiasm for the business enthusiasm that has sparked an innovative system of running a real estate company The system resembles Victor Kiams Remington shavers where the people love the com pany so much they bought it said Mr But in this in stance Mr Fobert and some real estate agents working for ReMax bought the company The idea is another step in the broker agent relationship ex plained Mr Fobert Ive been around for years and seen different phases of the business First brokers owned everything paid a com mission and paid all expenses said Mr Then salesmen began getting a higher split hut paid their own expenses and a fee to the company But the latter system has its weaknesses said Mr Fobert Things are great when business is booming but when it slows salesmen often transfer to com panies where there are no fees Now with the new system the salespeople cant run down the road because they own shares in the company said Mr Fobert Theyll have to pull in and work harder With the new shareholding system Mr Fobert and 15 salespeople signed a deal on Dec 22 buying ReMax Suburban 91 from David Soal Mr Fobert owns per cent of the shares which he must own to be the broker The business is still open to new shareholders who qualify as a ReMax salesperson We have a premier franchise and top agents Now all we need to do is add to them he We plan to be a in the business and have a bigger percentage of the market share He believes they can do it because ownership means people will not just be dealing with a sales representative but an owner who has a greater stake in the success of the company That means better service to you Owning the ReMax franchise is a secondtime opportunity for Mr who operated it from 1983 to 1985 before selling it to Mr Before that
