Local Knowledge. Practical Experience. A Clear Approach.
Matt Johnston has called White Rock and South Surrey home since 2005. His knowledge of the area comes not only from working here, but from living here, raising a family and personally buying and selling homes throughout different stages of life.
Matt purchased his first home at 25 and has since bought and sold 10 of his own properties, including condos, townhomes and detached homes. That experience has given him a firsthand understanding of the financial decisions, uncertainty and emotions that can come with buying or selling a home.
Before entering real estate, Matt spent more than 25 years in sales, marketing, negotiation and business leadership, including senior roles with Molson Canada, Canon, Samsung and Arterra Wines. That background shaped the way he approaches real estate today: understand the objective, study the market, develop a clear strategy and communicate honestly as conditions change.
His experience in residential and commercial property management, commercial leasing and strata management adds another layer of practical knowledge. It gives him a broader perspective on property ownership, contracts, operations and long-term value.
When clients choose to work with Matt, they work directly with him. He takes the time to understand their goals, explain their options and provide clear recommendations throughout the process. His role is to keep things organized, make the experience as straightforward as possible and help clients move forward with confidence.
