A successful real estate career doesn’t happen by accident. It requires more than long hours, hustle, and ambition. It requires the right foundation - one built on the right culture, support, tools, and contribution. Ottawa True North Realty is built on those very pillars ... not as a passing trend, but as a lasting commitment to our agents and our communities. Here’s what that means for you:
Real estate can feel like an individual sport, but long-term success is fuelled by the environment you’re in. It's like Jim Rohn once said, "You are the average of the 5 people you spend most time with!" At Ottawa True North Realty, you’ll find a professional culture rooted in collaboration, integrity, and respect. It’s not about hype or gimmicks (and we're certainly not interested in drama and gossip) - it’s about creating a place where serious agents can do serious business, surrounded by peers who lift the standard higher.
Every agent, no matter how seasoned, faces situations that require guidance. With decades of experience as a Realtor and Broker of Record, I’ve navigated compliance issues, arbitrations, and complex transactions alongside agents - always with the goal of protecting their business and their clients. At Ottawa True North Realty, support isn’t lip service; it’s a steady hand you can count on when it matters most.
Markets change. Technology evolves. But what doesn’t change is the need for practical tools that help you win listings, market effectively, and close deals efficiently. At Ottawa True North Realty, we focus on proven, modern systems that work in real life - tools that save you time, sharpen your marketing, and keep you focused on serving your clients.
Real estate is about more than transactions - it’s about impact. Over the years, I’ve had the tremendous privilege to lead our agents in raising funds for so many amazing and worthy causes and in rolling up our sleeves to serve our communities directly.
From charity galas that supported mental health and cancer research, to food drives, blood donations, Habitat for Humanity builds, and serving meals at the Ottawa Mission ... I’ve seen firsthand how giving back brings people together and creates a deeper sense of purpose and connection in this business.
At Ottawa True North Realty, that spirit continues. When you join this brokerage, you’re not just building a career - you’re becoming part of a team that believes success is multiplied when we contribute to something greater.
Broker of Record, Ottawa True North Realty
Many years ago Wendy brought me into her brokerage and made sure I had EVERYTHING I needed to succeed. She has been a wonderful friend and mentor to me since.
Wendy was more than just a boss to me - she was a true mentor and an incredible example of what strong, compassionate leadership looks like. She cared deeply for the people around her, always balancing kindness with fairness. Wendy had a way of holding expectations while still making you feel supported and capable of reaching them. What I admired most was how she approached challenges. Even when we didn’t see eye to eye, she believed in talking things through until we found a resolution. That patience and commitment to understanding taught me lessons I’ll carry for life—not just in business, but in how I show up for others. I am so grateful for the time I had to learn from Wendy. Her influence shaped me in ways I continue to draw from every day, and I will always hold deep respect and gratitude for her guidance. It’s because of mentors like Wendy that I strive to bring the same fairness, care, and dedication to the people I still serve.
I am writing this to provide a character reference for Wendy Bell, whom I have known for over 20 years. We have a long professional history, having served together on the Professional Standards Committee of the Ottawa Real Estate Board for several years. Throughout our collaboration, I was consistently impressed by Wendy's high degree of integrity and her exceptional work ethic. We handled challenging and sensitive files that required the utmost discretion, and Wendy always approached this work with a deep commitment to confidentiality and meticulous attention to detail. It is clear that she carries that same work ethic and professionalism to her professional real estate career. She is a true leader and mentor, and her exemplary conduct is a testament to her strong character. I can confidently recommend Wendy Bell as a person of outstanding character and integrity. She is reliable, trustworthy, and possesses a strong ethical compass. Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely,
Wendy has been such a blessing to us over the years - always showing up with donations and hands-on support when we needed it most. There were times I wasn’t sure we would have enough food for our special meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and without fail, Wendy arrived with a truck full of turkeys or a generous cheque to ensure we could feed those in need. Thank you for being an incredible friend and support, Wendy!
I have coached more than 1,000 agents - but Wendy Bell is hands down one of my favourite people to have ever worked with. She is very strong, highly intelligent, and has a great deal of real ‘in-the-trenches’ experience - and yet, she’s humble, willing to be challenged, and a remarkably good listener. She’s not afraid to step out of her comfort zone and do what most people would never do … because she genuinely cares about people and her focus is to serve at the highest level and make a real difference. I couldn’t be more proud to call Wendy a great coaching client, friend and colleague!
I have known Wendy for the better part of fifteen years. I admire her professionalism, her commitment to excellence and her work ethic. She is “in it to win it” but never at the expense of compromising ethics or integrity. There is no one in real estate I trust more than Wendy.
