small town roots . big city experience .
My real estate career has been built in Toronto, one of Canada’s most competitive housing markets, where I have spent nearly two decades guiding clients through the fast pace and complexity of buying and selling. At the same time, my roots are in a small community outside Lethbridge, Alberta, where my family has long been involved in education, business, and nonprofit leadership. Today, I’m proud to serve clients in both markets, combining local trust with big-city expertise.
my approach .
Real estate is never just about property. It is about people, timing, and strategy. I believe every client deserves clear guidance, honest advice, and a plan tailored to their goals. Whether in Toronto or southern Alberta, I bring the same elevated approach: marketing that makes homes shine, and negotiation strategies that help clients succeed in any market.
why clients work with me .
Proven Leadership – As a Managing Broker in Toronto, I oversee more than 400 agents and support them in navigating complex deals. That leadership-level perspective is something I bring to every client relationship.
Elevated Marketing – Homes deserve to stand out. From staging to photography to digital campaigns, I use Toronto-level marketing standards in every market I serve.
Local & National Insight – Clients in Alberta benefit from my deep community ties, while Toronto clients gain the advantage of a seasoned professional who has spent nearly 20 years immersed in Canada’s busiest market.
My commitment to raising standards in real estate extends beyond my own clients. I have contributed as a Subject Matter Expert in Ontario, helping shape the redevelopment of education and licensing programs to reflect changes in provincial legislation. I also sit on professional standards and arbitration panels, where I work to uphold integrity and fairness across the industry.
beyond real estate .
Outside of real estate, I’m blessed to have an amazing family and am proudly ‘Uncle Matty’ to three nephews and a niece. I also volunteer, serving as Chair of the Board for a Toronto non-profit theatre company, where I focus on governance, succession planning, and community impact. This work reflects the same values I bring to real estate: listening carefully, building strong relationships, and ensuring that decisions create positive outcomes for the people they affect.
Whether you are stepping into the market for the first time in southern Alberta, searching for the right neighbourhood in Toronto, or selling a property you have loved for years, my role is the same. I will guide you with clarity, strategy, and confidence, making sure that your real estate decisions are supported every step of the way.
