<h1 style="text-align: center;">RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara Comes Together for the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament in Support of Keaton's House</h1>
The Fourth Annual RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara Golf Tournament brought together REALTORS&reg;, industry partners and sponsors for a day of connection, camaraderie and giving back at Heron Point Golf Links in Alberton.
While the tournament has always been about supporting local charities, this year's event carried even greater meaning.
Following the sudden passing of RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara Broker of Record Conrad Zurini at the beginning of June, it was the first time such a large group from the brokerage community had come together.
Despite the emotions surrounding the day, organizers felt it was important to continue with the tournament in Conrad's honour while raising funds for Keaton's House.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Bringing the Brokerage Together</h2>
For tournament co-founder Adam Clermont, the goal has always been to create an event that brings the entire RE/MAX community together.
"We were excited to bring everyone back together. RE/MAX has such a great community, so it's really nice to have an event like this where everybody gets to connect and be social for a change. We get to talk about something other than interest rates and property values. It's fun to have that camaraderie and spend the day together."
Clermont explained that while there had been a golf tournament before, it involved a much smaller group.
"We talked about how much fun golf tournaments are and decided to put together a bigger one for the entire brokerage where we could really show off RE/MAX."

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Long-Time Partners Supporting a Great Cause</h2>
Escarpment Law was proud to support the tournament as title sponsor, continuing its long-standing partnership with RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara.
"We are proud partners of RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara, and this is a really admirable cause," said Amey Hanna.
Alanna Stephen added that the event is an opportunity to connect with the people they work alongside throughout the year.
"It's great to see our referring agents, all the agents we partner with, and our other partners like Mission35 Mortgages and RBC while supporting a fantastic cause."

Mission35 Mortgages founder and sponsor Brian Hogben, said events like this are about much more than business.
"We've been with RE/MAX for so long. It's great to collaborate, and it's a good opportunity to talk to people about the challenges they're experiencing in the market because it's been tough. It's always nice to come to events like this and celebrate the relationship, and not have it be about business for a couple of hours."

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Honouring Conrad Zurini</h2>
For tournament co-founder Frank Salvatore, the day was emotional from start to finish.
"We are a big family here, and today is an exceptionally special day because we lost our dear friend, mentor and leader in our industry, Conrad Zurini."
When news of Conrad's passing first came, Salvatore's immediate reaction was to cancel the tournament.
"As we sat together and thought about it, we wanted to do something for the charity and in honour of him, so it all came together."
Looking around the course, he said he was grateful they made that decision.
"We are grieving, hugging and consoling each other, and I'm glad we made this decision."
Having known Conrad for more than 30 years and worked alongside him for 26, Salvatore reflected on the impact he had on everyone around him.
"Conrad was an absolutely incredible human being who touched the lives of so many people. Everyone has a story. His office door was only 15 steps away from mine, so I saw him regularly. He was just an incredible human being. The Zurini family is an amazing family. They treat us like family, so we're all happy to be here."
He added that the motivation behind the tournament has always remained the same.
"The motivation has always been to help local charities in our area."

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Supporting Keaton's House</h2>
During the evening dinner, new Broker of Record Joey Zurini thanked everyone for coming together during such a difficult time.
"Looking around the room, it's really clear that this is so much more than just a golf tournament."
She reminded everyone why the tournament continues to be so important to the brokerage.
"We are here to support Keaton's House, and it's a cause that means a great deal to our RE/MAX family. Keaton's House provides compassionate care for children with life-limiting illnesses while supporting their parents, siblings and loved ones. They offer respite care, grief support and, most importantly, a place where families can come together and simply make memories."
The tournament raised&nbsp;$25,000.
"This year was a little extra special, but we will get through it together. Thank you all for your wonderful words to me and my family. Thank you for supporting us and for coming out to be here together because this is the stuff that keeps us going."
The evening concluded with a toast led by realtor Lori VanDinther.
With everyone raising a glass, the room shared one simple tribute.
"To Conrad."

RE/MAX Escarpment & Niagara Comes Together for the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament in Support of Keaton's House

Some real estate stories are about transactions. Others are about timing, trust, and bringing the right people together to create something truly rare.
On the shores of Fort Erie, Lakewood Beach Developments is one of those stories.
A private lakefront condominium community featuring 33 lakefront lots and 8 lakeview lots, the development offers more than 600 metres of sandy private beachfront along Lake Erie &mdash; something nearly impossible to replicate in Southern Ontario today. With private roads, green space, advanced water and sanitation systems, and a carefully planned landscape design, the vision for Lakewood Beach Developments was always about creating a lifestyle rooted in quality, nature, and long-term value.
<div class="image-row"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/NWWqE5fyTEOCHYUSIBmT"> <img alt="" src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/NOxiLNvxRhKrod69k6fG"></div>
But projects like this don&rsquo;t come together without people.
For developer Dan Raseta and his partners, the opportunity began nearly two decades ago when the former Easter Seals camp property became available. What followed was years of planning, servicing, environmental consideration, and thoughtful design to create a high-end waterfront community unlike anything else in the region.
&ldquo;We put a lot of thought into every detail,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;From the servicing and landscaping to the entryway and green space, we wanted this to feel like a truly high-end waterfront community.&rdquo;
And when it came time to bring the project to market, it required a partnership built on both expertise and trust.
That&rsquo;s where Donna Gray and Shawn Schertzing came together.
Donna Gray, a Broker and Realtor with Regan Irish &amp; Associates at RE/MAX Escarpment in Oakville, brought extensive experience in luxury waterfront and development properties across markets like Muskoka, Oakville, Burlington, and Mississauga. Shawn Schertzing, a Broker with Team Zing at RE/MAX Niagara, brought the local insight, relationships, and a deep understanding of Niagara's South Coast lifestyle that only comes from growing up in the area.
<img alt="" src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/9IUPFGULSCiOJJMkvMOt">
Different markets. Different experiences. One shared vision.
Their collaboration became a perfect example of the RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara advantage: combining regional expertise with collaborative process to create better outcomes for clients and communities alike.
For Donna, the site immediately stood out.
&ldquo;You wonder if you&rsquo;re even in Canada,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;The sand, the clean water, the way the grass transitions right into the beach &mdash; it&rsquo;s incredibly rare.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Lakefront property on Lake Erie is becoming increasingly scarce. Much of the shoreline has already been developed, and there are very few opportunities like this left. As the area continues to evolve, values and pricing will change over time, making now an ideal opportunity for people to get in early and secure something truly special.&rdquo;
For Shawn, the project represented something even deeper: an opportunity to showcase a lifestyle locals have understood for years &mdash; one rooted in nature, recreation, privacy, and connection to the water.
&ldquo;Having grown up near this area, I&rsquo;ve always understood how special this stretch of shoreline is,&rdquo; Shawn said. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lifestyle here that people from outside the region are just starting to discover &mdash; the beaches, the golf, the sense of calm, the community. Opportunities like this almost never come up.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Working alongside Donna has been a great synergy because we bring two completely different perspectives to the table,&rdquo; he added.
&ldquo;She understands the luxury waterfront buyer coming from the GTA, and I understand the local lifestyle and what makes this area so unique. Together, it&rsquo;s been a really powerful partnership for this project.&rdquo;
And for buyers coming from the GTA, the appeal is undeniable.
<img alt="" src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/Fbxd2xVSZuft2a6Jj20Q">
For Matthew Regan, Co-Founder of Regan Irish &amp; Associates, one of the most surprising parts of the experience was how accessible it felt from the GTA.
&ldquo;You know, it was so unique coming in from Oakville today. It took one hour and ten minutes at the speed limit,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Whether you want to live here full time or make this a secondary home &mdash; this is just so easy.&rdquo;
But beyond the beauty of the location, this story is ultimately about process.
It&rsquo;s about thoughtful development. About respecting the environment. About bringing together the right experts at the right time. And about how collaboration across cities, specialties, and experiences can create something far greater than any one person could accomplish alone.
At RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara, we often say our strength is our people.
&ldquo;This is exactly the kind of synergy we believe in fostering at RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara,&rdquo; said Broker Owner Conrad Zurini. &ldquo;Regan Irish &amp; Associates bring deep experience in luxury waterfront and development sales from the GTA markets, paired with Team Zing&rsquo;s local knowledge and relationships in Niagara. When you bring talented people together within a backdrop of collaboration clients win, projects win, and ultimately our entire brokerage community becomes stronger.&rdquo;

Lakewood Beach Developments is proof of what happens when those people come together.
