In 2002, Michael Rouse began what was to become a prolific and prosperous career in real estate spanning over two decades. Starting his career at CBRE, Michael quickly rose to the position of Senior Vice President where he performed at the top of his peer group, earning the distinction of Top Producer (#1) in the Waterloo Region and Top Producer (#1) in the Southwestern Ontario Region twelve times during his time with CBRE.
In 2016, Michael decided that the best way for his clients to benefit from his extensive knowledge of the Southwestern Ontario market and his long-cultivated list of North American and international industry contacts was to open his own firm, Rouse Realty Advisors (RRA). Since its inception, RRA has continued to grow and prosper and is consistently ranked among the top five performing brokerages in the Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo markets. RRA is the top-performing boutique brokerage in the area and performs better in terms of sales volume than many of the larger brokerages.
Throughout his career, Michael has facilitated more than 525 commercial real estate transactions valued at over $633 million. His impressive track record and extensive knowledge of commercial and investment real estate make him one of the premier commercial real estate agents in Ontario
