About Matthew Maka
Real Estate Grounded in Real-World Experience
For over 15 years, I’ve been deeply involved in the way homes on Vancouver Island are actually built and lived in. Before becoming a REALTOR®, I ran a successful construction and renovation company focused on whole-home remodels, additions, and custom work.
That work took me into every part of a property—foundations, framing, roofing, mechanical systems, and finishing. Now, as a REALTOR®, I bring that same attention to detail to every client I work with.
From Construction Sites to Client Strategy
Because I’ve been on the building side, I can give you honest, practical feedback about a property: what’s a simple fix, what’s a red flag, and what improvements will actually increase value.
15+ years in high-end residential construction and renovation
Experience with house lifts, foundation replacements, and complex projects
Deep familiarity with acreages, equestrian properties, and rural infrastructure
Licensed REALTOR® serving the Cowichan Valley and Greater Victoria
Calm, Direct, and Detail-Focused
My job is to help you make decisions that hold up over time. I won’t push you into something that doesn’t feel right. Instead, I’ll give you clear, straightforward advice, lay out your options, and help you choose the right path for your family, your lifestyle, and your finances.
Why I Love Vancouver Island
I live on a 20-acre property in the Cowichan Valley with my wife and kids, surrounded by horses, trees, and open space. I understand what draws people to this part of the world—quiet mornings, room to move, and communities that still feel connected.
Whether you’re moving here for the first time, upsizing, or simplifying, I can help you find the version of Island life that fits you best.
