Jonathan Knight – Sales Representative McIntyre Real Estate Services

I have worked in Real Estate in Kitchener / Waterloo for over 16 years. I started my working life in Toronto selling Silicon Graphics and other advanced computing systems to animation studios all over Ontario, then pursued work as a freelance Non-linear editor for film and television. I eventually changed careers to work as an IT Manager for a firm on Bay st. in Toronto. It was at this point that my wife and I realized that Toronto wasn’t where we wanted to raise a family, so we moved to Waterloo and I started working as a Realtor at Re/Max Twin City.

In my real estate career, I have worked extensively in resale, new home construction sales, and honed the negotiation skills that I use daily. I take my business and my representation of clients very seriously.

I have many other interests in addition to my work life. I am a four-time Maple Blues Award nominee for Male Vocalist of the Year and I have worked as a professional musician since I was 17 with 3 albums released with my band Soulstack (you can often see us play locally). I have toured extensively and seen some beautiful places, played to some amazing audiences and met many great people. 

Additionally, I perform as a member of the Lulu’s Roadhouse Band, which is always a blast! Keeping a balance of artistic pursuit in my life has always been the key to my sanity as a Realtor.

I also co-founded a company, called AGS Environmental, (now Reitzel Environmental) which specializes in Asbestos, UFFI, Mould and Lead Paint abatement, so my experience in many of the hazards which we encounter dealing with older homes has been invaluable. I have since sold this business as my focus was and always will be real estate.

I decided, after my years at Re/Max Twin City, that I wanted to work in a smaller team environment and focus my resources on marketing properties in a modern fashion, using cutting edge tools. McIntyre Real Estate Services Inc. has allowed me to do this, and put the focus on the listing at hand.

I live in Beechwood, Waterloo with my two little girls Stella (age 13) and Hazel (11) who make it wonderful to come home to, even if this business sometimes keeps me up late!
