Working in real estate since 1993 and representing homeowners from all walks of life has allowed me to develop meaningful relationships with the people in our communities while challenging me to continuously become a better Realtor®. I strive to evolve with the market so that you consistently receive exceptional real estate services.
Helping buyers and sellers throughout Canada’s west coast build wealth through real estate and achieve their dreams is the most rewarding experience as an agent. Being able to strengthen and help grow our communities by facilitating real estate transactions and creating lasting ties with community members including homeowners, investors, business owners, and industry professionals is what motivates me to deliver results that exceed client expectations.
Guiding Principles
Integrity
I consider each client and every transaction a priority, and strive to navigate these relationships with the utmost honesty and sincerity to build trust while representing your most important asset.
Communication
Understanding the monumental decision it is for you to sell a property or buy a home, I ensure that our communication is always clear, honest, timely, and accurate to encourage peace of mind and to move through the process with ease.
Respect
My goal in real estate is to work collaboratively with clients. It goes without saying, but mutual respect is paramount to the success of our clients and our team. I’ll always listen to your ideas, suggestions, and opinions to create the strongest, most effective plan of action.
I’m a true British Columbia native and Nanaimo local born and raised here since 1962, but my roots in the community go back to the 1880s when my family first immigrated to Lantzville.
Having represented hundreds of real estate transactions over the years, I’ve developed an intimate understanding of the area’s housing stock and a wealth of knowledge about the real estate trends in different west coast regions. With this unique perspective I’m able to expertly help you find the right real estate opportunities to suit your lifestyle.
I’ve watched the Nanaimo community and surrounding area grow and develop over the years but never lose its character. I’m proud to live, work, and enjoy life in our great city and province and I consider it a privilege to help my fellow community members reach their goals.
“Martin’s low key, yet professional approach was very refreshing. His competence as a Realtor® was evident in every aspect of the process and we look forward to having him help us with our next real estate transaction.”

When looking for someone to represent your most important asset, you’ll want to trust an agent who knows this community and its markets inside and out. I’ve spent my life hiking the local mountains, swimming in all the lakes, driving along every road, and getting to know most of the people and the properties in every corner of the area.
As your agent I represent your best interests because as a resident myself, our interests are truly aligned. It’s my mission to continue to protect, uplift, and contribute positively to this community the same way my grandparents did when our family first settled here.
