Outgoing President John Lusink assumes the role of Vice Chair to support strategic growth initiatives
RealServus, a leading Canadian real estate technology and brokerage company backed by Round13 Capital, has announced the appointment of Bronwyn Smith as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective September 1. Smith takes over from John Lusink, the outgoing President, who will continue to contribute to the company’s vision and expansion strategy as Vice Chair.
Smith joined RealServus in 2024 to spearhead the creation and leadership of myAbode, the company’s innovative prop-tech arm. The platform’s core technology drives operations across RealServus’ network of brokerages and has already begun gaining traction with other brokerages across Canada. Drawing on her extensive leadership experience in technology and operations from senior roles at Ada and Shopify, Smith steps into her new role with a focus on innovation, growth, and delivering transformative solutions for agents and clients alike.
“I’m honored to lead RealServus at a pivotal time for real estate,” said Smith. “Our industry is changing rapidly, and the brokerages of the future will depend on real technology to thrive. Technology only matters if it helps people succeed, and for us, that means putting agents first. Whether through our own brokerages or the services we build for others, RealServus is committed to providing agents and brokerages the tools, data, and support they need to grow their business, stay compliant, and deliver value for their clients.”
Reflecting on the transition, Lusink commented, “I have had the pleasure of working closely with Bronwyn over the last several months. I’m incredibly excited about the future of RealServus under her leadership and will continue to support the business and our commitment to drive growth in my new role as Vice Chair. Our team’s combined experience and Bronwyn’s innovative approach set us up for the next great chapter in our company’s story.”
Under Smith’s leadership, RealServus is building Canada’s largest real estate ecosystem by uniting brokerages and agents on one platform, with deal processing at its core. This foundation not only modernizes how brokerages operate but also strengthens compliance and transparency, making every transaction safer for agents, brokerages, and clients alike.
“Bronwyn’s leadership and technology expertise will be key as RealServus enters its next chapter,” said Brahm Klar, Chair of RealServus and Managing Partner at Round13 Capital. “We’re excited for her vision and grateful for John’s continued support as Vice Chair.”
