In the 1970’s Polzler Real Estate - The Action People was a well respected real estate brokerage with multiple branch offices in the West End, owned and operated by the late Frank Polzler. A true visionary, Polzler with a partner in Walter Schneider, recognized the industry needed a paradigm shift and in 1980 they bought the rights to RE/MAX Ontario Atlantic Canada, converting his offices to RE/MAX Professionals Inc.
Founded in 1980 RE/MAX Professionals Inc. was the first RE/MAX office in Ontario. Under the leadership of Frank’s daughter Pamela Alexander, the brokerage grew exponentially and into multiple locations. In 1995 Pamela joined the regional office of RE/MAX Ontario Atlanitic in Canada now known as RE/MAX Canada as the Regional Director and soon after was promoted to CEO and Managing Director of North American operations.
Fast forward to today where RE/MAX Professionals Inc. is now under the ownership of Leah Ambler Pamela's daughter. As a third generation brokerage owner, growing up around real estate entrepreneurs and visionaries, Leah witnessed the passion that built the RE/MAX brand in Canada and has lead her Toronto brokerage to maintain its position as one of the leading brokerages for sales in West Toronto year-over-year.
Leah’s brother Christopher Alexander, who started his career in 2010 as a Sales Associate at RE/MAX Professionals Inc., quickly scaled the ranks to become a third generation RE/MAX leader. Christopher joined the sub-master franchise RE/MAX INTEGRA as a Franchise Sales Consultant in 2014. He then served as Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President of RE/MAX INTEGRA, and was responsible for the day-to-day operations as well as developing and overseeing business strategies. He joined RE/MAX, LLC as Senior Vice President of RE/MAX Canada in July 2021 and was named President of RE/MAX Canada in November 2021.
In 2020, Leah and her brother Christopher Alexander formed what is now knows as RE/MAX Professionals North, Brokerages, which as become the market leader across Haliburton County.
