Speaker: Justin Smith MBA, President, Hawkeye Wealth Ltd.

Before settling down in the Lower Mainland in 2009, Justin called many cities home, including Williams Lake, Quesnel, Kelowna, Montreal, Quebec City, and Edmonton. He is the third of six children (five boys and a girl), an environment he credits for any interpersonal and peacemaking skills.

Justin obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of British Columbia prior to pursuing an MBA at Simon Fraser University where he met his wife, Elaine. Shortly after completing his MBA, Justin began his career in real estate, working with the largest residential developer in Northeast BC. In 2014, Justin saw the opportunity presented by the 2008 recession in the US and started helping investors participate in value-add apartment building deals across Arizona, Texas, and Georgia, which proved very profitable.

In 2017, he created Hawkeye Wealth with an aim to widen the scope of quality offerings for his investor network, primarily focusing on industrial and residential developments in Western Canada and the US, as well as mortgage funds.

Justin lives in South Surrey with his wife Elaine and son Grayson. When not at work, he enjoys improving his “low and slow” barbecue skills and is an avid Toronto Raptors fan. He is also fluent in Spanish, having spent two years volunteering in Spanish-speaking communities in Quebec.
