We are thrilled to announce that Ken McLachlan, Steve Tabrizi and Debra Bain of RE/MAX Hallmark have acquired RE/MAX Eastern from John Hope.

The RE/MAX Eastern team has added over 70 real estate professionals to the RE/MAX Hallmark roster, where they will continue to provide exceptional service to those in Peterborough and the surrounding region. John will also be joining the RE/MAX Hallmark team and will take on an advisory role.

In 2013, John became the new broker/owner of RE/MAX Eastern and was presented with the opportunity through John Bowes, founder of the real estate firm. Through the years, John has continued to grow the company and help his agents reach their real estate goals.

Having been in the industry for more than 40 years, John has and will continue to be a pillar in the Peterborough real estate community. He has served on several executive councils throughout his time, helping shape both the RE/MAX brand and the industry.

“We would like to thank John for his commitment to RE/MAX and more importantly for the impact he has made within his community and within the network,” says Christopher Alexander, President, RE/MAX Canada.

RE/MAX Hallmark now has 39 offices across Ontario and represents more than 1,700 agents.

Please join us in congratulating RE/MAX Hallmark on this new growth opportunity, as well as congratulating John on the success of RE/MAX Eastern and wishing him and his team all the best with this transition!
