Buying or Selling in the Sea to Sky? With local expertise and a clear strategy, I make the process simple and stress-free.

About Matt

Real estate in the Sea to Sky is more than a profession for me — it’s built on over two decades of living, working, and investing in this community.
I’ve been a licensed Realtor for six years, backed by more than 20 years of hands-on experience in construction and renovation. After moving to the Sea to Sky corridor in 2006, I worked as a contractor, carpenter, and ski patroller in Whistler.

Real estate in the Sea to Sky is more than a profession for me — it’s built on over two decades of living, working, and investing in this community.

I’ve been a licensed Realtor for six years, backed by more than 20 years of hands-on experience in construction and renovation. After moving to the Sea to Sky corridor in 2006, I worked as a contractor, carpenter, and ski patroller in Whistler. That practical background gives me a detailed understanding of how homes are built, how they perform over time, and where true value lies — insight that directly benefits my clients when buying or selling.

My approach is straightforward and client-focused. Honesty, reliability, and transparency are fundamental to how I do business. I believe real estate decisions should be made with clarity and confidence, and I take pride in guiding clients through each step of the process with clear communication and practical advice tailored to their goals.

Having lived, worked, and invested here for many years, I understand the nuances of the Squamish and Whistler markets — from lifestyle considerations to long-term investment potential. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or securing a recreational property, my role is to provide steady guidance and informed strategy.

With the right guidance, anything is possible. I look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals in the Sea to Sky.

Helped Marialaura Pauw to buy a duplex in Squamish in 2022.
My husband and I met Matt in 2022 when we were thinking about buying a house in Squamish. Matt has been such a great realtor for us. He showed us around Squamish, showing us all the different neighbours with perks and downsides. When we found our perfect home he has been so great to give us the right advice to win the offer! I would have not been able to buy my dream house without Matt. He was able to understand that we were really in love with the property and made everything that he could, for us to be able to buy it. We have been living in our dream home since 2022! Matt has always been always available for any questions that we had about the market even in the following years. When we will be ready to buy again, we will for sure reach out to Matt again. I totally recommend working with him!

Listed and Sold a house in Squamish for Alexis McRae in 2021.
I can’t saw enough good things about the support Matt gave us in selling our home. From tips on how to prepare it for sale and rolling up his sleeves to help us get it ready, while showing up with beverages and encouragement; to helping us review offers, and decide on the best course of action. We are so grateful for all his expertise.

Lauren. J worked with Matt Lees in 2024.
Matt really went above and beyond, helping us navigate a complex real-estate transaction from out of the country, and ultimately purchase our dream home. The property had many challenges including a restrictive covenant, an easement, and an ambiguous GST situation. Matt patiently helped us explore options, connected us with lawyers, accountants, inspectors, etc, and helped us adjust our plan accordingly, including many addendums to our original contract. We really appreciated all of Matt’s help and would definitely recommend him to others.

My family has used Matt as an agent a few times. He helped my Mom sell and then buy. Matt was also our agent when selling our townhome in Squamish, and sold my father in laws home as well. He is very knowledgeable in many different areas. And very accessible, as he would always answer his phone and was quick to respond to emails or texts. Matt knows his stuff, and puts in the time required to make it all work. I have no problem recommending Matt to anybody who is thinking about buying or selling.

Matt's knowledge of properties and current market trends was invaluable in our real estate transactions. He organized viewings and found us the perfect property within days. He is great to work with and has a positive and energetic approach. When listing he was instrumental in providing excellent photography and a professional listing. His recommendations on price and presentation was spot on and the property sold in just a few showings. Contact Matt to help you find your dream home or to have an easy time selling! We highly recommend him.

"My wife and I engaged Matt to work on our behalf for a property purchase in the Sea to Sky corridor. We were looking for somewhere in Whistler, Pemberton or Squamish. Matt was always available, responsive and organized viewings for us on our schedule in all three communities. He was extremely proactive in providing us with listings as soon as they came onto the market and a great sounding board as we went through the process of deciding the type of unit we were looking for and ultimately the community we settled on. It's an extremely hot market at the moment, we were very excited to ultimately be successful with an offer and a purchase in the Redbridge development, downtown Squamish. Matt was a huge help along the way. I would highly recommend him."

"Matt was our buying agent and was instrumental in helping us secure a property we initially thought was out of our league. Matt was an excellent advisor, negotiator and liaison between all parties and provided very honest, transparent guidance through very engaged communication. With a wealth of experience in different fields, including construction, Matt was able to advise on areas that allowed us to negotiate and target an accepted offer. We are super thrilled with our new Squamish property and look forward to making our home here. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt for your real estate needs. Thanks again Matt

Matt helped my husband, my sister-in-law and I to find the perfect home to live and invest in. We started our journey with Matt a year ago when we were thinking about buying. The first time we met Matt he has been very professional and available to show us a few properties in Squamish. He gave us a very wide idea of the market from which I learned a lot (being first-time home-buyer). Unfortunately last year we had to change our plans so we couldn‘t buy a place anymore but we remained in touch with Matt. He kept us updated about the market throughout the whole year. When we were finally ready to buy we reach out to him and for 2 weeks he became not only our realtor but our close friend, that could provide us with all the tips and advice we needed. We appreciated very much Matt's broad knowledge about the market in Squamish and his background in construction (this is a big plus when you are thinking about investing too!). I have to admit that this is not an easy year for buyers but Matt has been a great realtor for us and made everything go smooth. Moreover, we had a lot of fun throughout the whole process! I wish I had the money to buy houses more often to collaborate with Matt more!

We are so grateful to have had Matt as our real estate agent and really enjoyed working with him. We felt very taken care of and we deeply appreciate that he could accurately point out our needs, sometimes even before we did. His good knowledge of Squamish and relationships allowed him to find us literally the PERFECT place to call home. We couldn’t be more satisfied of the whole process. He has shown great professionalism but also has been a good friend. We highly recommend Matt to all - Thanks Matt!"

Not only did his knowledge help get us well above what we thought we might for our place, but he was there everyday for the week that Sebastien was there getting the place ready to sell. Helping with painting, cleaning, and even stopping by with food and beers multiple times. He is truly the best.

I would never have found my new place if it wasn't for Matt. He listened to what I thought I wanted, he challenged me and helped me think outside of the box to open up new possibilities. It shows that he's been buying and selling properties for decades. Matt definitely has an eye for the right investment and walked every step of the process with me. Thanks!!
