REALTOR®

Jared Shantz

My role is to listen to your needs. Then I make the process simple, personal and educational.

As someone born and raised in Waterloo Region, growing up in Beechwood and currently living in Kitchener’s East Ward, I have a deep-rooted understanding of the area. Having lived here my entire life, I purchased and renovated my first home in the region, converting it into a duplex and renting out one unit to offset costs. This experience ignited my passion for helping others achieve their homeownership dreams, whether for personal enjoyment or as a valuable investment for the future.

My 10 years of experience in the hospitality industry, largely operating and managing a Marriott hotel in Waterloo,  has ingrained in me the importance of delivering an exceptional and personalized experience for every client, always going the extra mile to achieve that.

Additionally, I have 12 years of experience in my volunteer work leading international programs for youth from countries across the world for global peace through experiential learning. We do this through teaching cultural understanding and intercultural friendships by simultaneously celebrating our unique cultural differences as well as that which unites us across borders. This has equipped me with the skills to collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds and personalities to achieve common goals.

My Approach

Everything in life revolves around relationships, and the real estate industry is no exception. Since strong relationships are founded on effective communication, I consider this the most crucial element in all that I do. I pride myself on being clear, honest, and kind in my interactions. I listen attentively to your needs and guide you through the complexities of this competitive market. My goal is to make the process personal, straightforward, and educational, ensuring the best possible outcome for you in every transaction.

My Difference

Communication

In any relationship, communication is paramount—not just in quantity, but in quality. For communication to be effective, it must be honest, kind, and clear. You can rely on me to meet these standards and be a strong communicator throughout the entire transaction process.

Adaptability

I thrive on planning and structure, but I also understand that life can throw unexpected challenges our way. That's where adaptability comes in—it's a skill that enables me to navigate obstacles and steer things back on course to achieve our goals. This adaptability not only helps me overcome challenges but also allows me to guide my clients with confidence, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire transaction.

In Your Corner

Real estate can be a life-changing experience, which is why having someone fully in your corner makes all the difference. I take pride in being that trusted ally you can count on for all your real estate needs. My goal is to support and empower you, ensuring that your journey is not only successful but also exciting and positive.

I’m excited to help you with all your real estate needs! Call me at 519-616-6493

Nerd

I’m an all around nerd who has developed a love for storytelling. For me that often comes in the form of reading fantasy novels, comics and manga/anime. I also get to tell my own stories through playing and running dungeons and dragons games.

Health and Fitness

I plan to live a long and happy life and I know I can’t do that without taking care of my body. So I generally eat healthy and prioritize fitness. I workout and do martial arts because I love it and for the physical and mental health that comes with it.
