Justin's Background

Justin spent 20 years as the founder and president of a Canadian corporation that specialized in the manufacturing of lifting and safety equipment. After selling the business in 1997, and remaining with the company through 2003, he relocated with his family to The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards® on beautiful Lake Keowee, SC. They were introduced to the upstate South Carolina area in the late 1990’s by colleagues from Greenville, and immediately fell in love. The quality development, lifestyle, majestic mountains, crystal clear lakes, southern hospitality and mild, year-round weather enticed them. With every visit they made from the Toronto area – especially during winter months – they knew they would relocate and spend the rest of their lives in this very special place.

Justin's first business was built around the principle of uncompromising customer service and relationships. With a sales and marketing background, Justin understands the importance of exceeding customer’s expectations and building confidence through trust, education and knowledge. As your REALTOR, Justin will give you the complete picture, thereby enabling you to make an informed real estate purchase or sales decision. As an Independent REALTOR, Justin serves buyers and sellers as clients under SC Agency Law requirements (see Before You Buy on this web site). Justin will keep you up-to-date on what’s happening and the availability of resale inventory in developments like The Cliffs Communities® and The Reserve at Lake Keowee®.
