Realty Executives Platinum, based in Exeter, Ont., recently opened a new office in Stratford.

Broker/owner Matt Den Hollander has been in real estate for more than eight years. In 2013, salesperson Steve Sararas and Den Hollander formed Realty Executives Platinum in Exeter. “It was a humble beginning of two,” says Den Hollander. He says the firm grew by “becoming more personally efficient and productive, by offering outstanding, fair and ethical service… Realty Executives and Den Hollander Properties have grown steadily since 2013 from two people to a team of 13, including two administrators and two property managers.”

In late 2014, the firm opened a second office in downtown Mitchell.  Earlier this year it purchased a 5,000 sq ft. restaurant that formerly housed the Taj Fine Dining Restaurant.

“This building has been completely gutted and reconstructed into three commercial units and two beautiful upscale apartments. One of the commercial units is the home of our newest Realty Executives Platinum branch office,” says Den Hollander.

“In addition to expanding my Exeter and Mitchell team, I am also recruiting for the new Stratford brand and actively pursing other branch office possibilities in both Huron and Perth Counties,” he says.
