To see Matt’s growth from a real estate advisor with our brand to now an owner and brokerage leader demonstrates his passion for his work, his clients and for Engel & Völkers.”
“I am incredibly pleased to bring Engel & Völkers and its calibre of service to Parry Sound,” says Smith. “Parry Sound’s natural beauty has always been a draw for me personally, and I look forward to sharing it with interested buyers and to grow this company with top level talent that provides unprecedented service to buyers and sellers alike.”
Parry Sound, a two-hour drive from Toronto, has been a popular destination for city residents looking to escape metropolitan life. With work from home arrangements becoming the norm, seasonal visitors and newcomers are laying down permanent roots as year-round residents, bringing innovation with them to the local business community, the company says.
Parry Sound is located on Georgian Bay, making it a coveted destination for fishing and boating. Its extensive network of trails and conservation reserves attracts cottagers, cyclists, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
