Recognized by the MLS Board as Invermere’s top-producing Realtor for 2025.
The Invermere real estate market continues to evolve, and 2025 has been a defining year for the Columbia Valley. We’re proud to share that DK Rice of Team Rice has been recognized by the MLS Board as the #1 Realtor in Invermere for Gross Commission Income (GCI) in 2025.
This ranking reflects production performance across the Invermere area and is based on verified MLS data. It represents the highest gross commission income achieved among Realtors in the market for the year.
