Meet Chris Matlashewski 

My Life in some shape or form has centered around real estate. I grew up in Calgary, (a rarity it seems) in a family whose primary source of income came from real estate. This built the foundation on what has become both a career and a passion. It probably comes as no surprise that my favorite game is Monopoly.

My educational background is that of a degree in Economics from the University of Calgary focusing on strategic positioning in the marketplace as well as studies in Entrepreneurship. These two areas have been instrumental in becoming a strong negotiator and developing an analytical mindset, as well as being able to think and be dynamic for you, my client. 

After completing university, I pursued home renovations. It was during this chapter that I began to understand what makes homes attractive to buyers, where to maximize your dollar, and how much time and money is involved. In the course of those five years, I purchased, renovated and sold homes in various communities, in and around Calgary.  

While renovating I began to include real estate as part of my investment portfolio. I believe this to be one of the smartest decisions I have made and consider property to be an excellent long term investment, especially, in today’s market.  

In 2005, I recognized that my talents are best allocated in sales and property investments and joined Royal Lepage Benchmark. From an early stage I have applied the valuable instruction of a coach and mentor and continue with various avenues of education related to real estate so as to be able to adapt and grow with my clients and their ever changing demands. It is because of my experience and education that I can confidently offer a cancellation guarantee, but more often than not produce results. 

After many years of being fond of inner city living, I became a Certified Condo Specialist. I have really grown to appreciate the lifestyle and conveniences a condo offers and have moved since moved into a condo in the downtown core and loving it!!!
