Bluechip Realty moves to downtown

YORKTON – RE/MAX Bluechip Realty has purchased and moved to a new location in the city's downtown at 32 Smith Street.

Yorkton This Week spoke with Rob Kozak, owner of RE/MAX Bluechip Realty, about the move.

"We didn't own that building...we bought the business but not the building," said Kozak, noting they'd been renting the space.

"It was nice to be able to invest in real estate and own our own building," said Kozak, adding, "we've renovated it – we have about 4,000 square feet here along with a couple tenants as well – we just moved in today (March 27) and it's pretty much ready to go."

The move sets the business in the heart of downtown Yorkton and Kozak said RE/MAX Bluechip Realty is excited about it.

"We're really happy to be downtown — a lot of traffic where we are — it's really nice to be part of the downtown community honestly," said Kozak.

"It was nice to find an existing building — cost of construction is quite high these days — so this was really kind of something that popped up on our radar and actually worked out perfectly because it was set up perfectly for an office setting," said Kozak noting there are plans for construction to redo the exterior in the spring.

"We kind of got lucky in that regard," said Kozak, "it's really nice to have your own asset to work with."
