Jonathan Knight Email & Phone Number

I have worked in Real Estate in Kitchener / Waterloo for over 14 years. I started my working life in Toronto selling Discreet, Alias|Waveform and other high-end software and workstations to leading animation and post studios all over Ontario, then pursued work as a freelance Non-linear editor for film and television. I worked on a number of productions and TV commercials in that capacity.I eventually morphed careers to work as an IT Manager for The Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants 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 Inc. with my in-laws at the time, Al and Arlene Shousterman. They had both been working as full time Realtors for over 30 years and helped me gain a knowledge base and skillset in a very short time.In my real estate career, I have worked extensively in resale, new home construction sales, and honed the communication and negotiation skills that I use daily. I have found that, with changes in the industry, a smaller, boutique-style firm matches both my personality and allows me to offer my clients what they truly needed from a real-estate transaction. 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 4 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, which I have since sold, 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 live in Beechwood with my two little girls Stella (age 10) and Hazel (7) who make it wonderful to come home to, even if this business sometimes keeps me up late!

Listed skills include Referrals, Real Estate, New Home Sales, Investment Properties, and 25 others.
