COVER FEATURE
Kris Fournier
According to Kris Fournier, the secret to being the top RE/MAX real estate agent in the Maritimes is honesty. “People want a genuine person,” says Fournier. “Someone with their best interests at heart. I’m not afraid to tell clients not to buy a property if I don’t think it’s right for them.” Although Fournier earned his real estate license at the age of 18, he began by pursuing a career in the construction industry. For 30 years, his hard work and integrity left a string of satisfied customers. Familiarity with PEI neighbourhoods, appreciation for quality property, and plenty of industry contacts all turned into valuable resources when Fournier decided it was time to ease out of construction and pursue his lifelong dream of being a realtor. Despite being number one in units sold, number one in sales in Atlantic Canada, and a member of the RE/MAX hall of
fame, Fournier is humble, laid-back, and friendly. “It’s all about the clients’ needs,” he says. “Buying a house is such a big decision, especially the first time. It’s an honour to be part of the process, to see the excitement on the faces of a young couple, and to help them make the right choice.” Fournier does a lot of relocation work. Often, he’ll pick clients up at their hotels, and give
them a crash course on the Island and its neighbourhoods.
“Going through a real estate agent is a safety net,” says Fournier. “People know they’re not leaving money on the table. And they know I’m a friend.” In addition to his passion for real estate, Fournier is a retired driver who loves stock cars and racing. Between a workday on the road, meeting clients face-to-face, and visiting properties, he’s a man who doesn’t sit still.
