Chris Matlashewski, hit the #2 producer spot at Royal LePage Solutions for April 2026.
This puts him among the top performers across Calgary, Okotoks, Canmore, and the Bow Valley markets. Royal LePage Solutions runs a monthly program tracking individual and team production numbers.
The production reflects a specific approach. Chris doesn’t compete on commission rates or chase volume.
He built his business on a network of tradespeople, liquidators, and legal professionals he trusts. Every referral has his name on it. Every transition follows a system designed to keep people moving forward before the property goes live.
The ranking confirms what his clients already know. Preparation gets results. Urgency gets regret.
Recognition programs create pressure. They show what the company values.
For Chris, the #2 position isn’t about status. It’s proof his approach works. Refusing to inflate valuations, walking away from bad deals, managing complexity instead of selling speed… these things produce results.
Two decades of watching patterns pays off when you know what to look for.
His clients are predominantly retirees downsizing and families managing decisions across generations (Sandwich Generation.) They don’t hire him for promises about top dollar. They hire him because moving means dealing with 30 years of stuff, emotions, and decisions. He helps them turn all of this into a plan they follow.
April 2026 is one data point. The monthly system creates ongoing scorecards that shape how agents plan throughout the year.
Chris works across different Calgary neighborhoods with different buyers, price points, and timelines. You need more than spreadsheets to read those differences.
The numbers prove something straightforward. When you stay involved from first meeting to moving day, people notice. When you only refer people you’d trust yourself, they remember.
The #2 ranking isn’t the point. It’s what happens when you do work most agents skip.
Royal LePage Solutions tracks both individual agents and teams. The structure recognizes different ways people work in real estate.
For Chris, individual recognition fits how he operates. He doesn’t need a team structure. He needs a network of people who meet his standards and don’t compromise on quality.
April 2026 confirms what 20 years taught him. Doing the right thing adds up over time. Telling people the truth, even when it’s not what they want to hear, creates more value than sugar coating everything.
People who work with him don’t just get a top producer. They get someone who cares more about their peace of mind than his commission check. The ranking shows the market rewards that… eventually.
When asked, “Can Open Houses Sell a Home For Sale in Calgary?” The answer is yes; with the right home, price and marketing. We had such crazy open house traffic (over 20 families/ 2 hours) for our listing in 444 Douglas Glen Close. My assistant did an amazing job marketing this home on all the right mediums. What’s crazy about this open house is that of the three offers we received, two attendees of the open house wrote a offer.
For those that we not able to attend. We tour both the interior of this home, exterior and check out this amazing street connecting to the Bow River Pathway and Three Bridges Park. Unfortunately, only one buyer can purchase this home, which means we have two more buyers looking for a home in Douglas Glen. If you have given consideration to selling your home, we may have a buyer in waiting, avoiding the need to do improvements to your home, maximize your value and set your moving day. Happy to have a conversation with no obligation.

The home sits on a south-facing lot and includes a large double detached garage, offering strong long-term value for redevelopment, renovation, or rental potential.

I recently wrote an article titled “Why ‘Someday’ Is the Most Expensive Word When Rightsizing,” which was published in the Lake Bonavista Newsletter.
In it, I discuss a pattern I’ve seen repeatedly among long-time homeowners and the adult children helping them: the decision to downsize often isn’t difficult, the timing is.
The most important factor isn’t age.
It’s optionality.
The right time to begin planning a move is when you still have choices when health is stable, energy is strong, and decisions can be made calmly rather than reactively. Starting early preserves leverage, flexibility, and control. Waiting too long often limits all three. Chris Matlashewski, has experience with downsizers and elderly homeowners who quickly become sellers as a result of a unforeseen circumstance.
Although the article was written for residents in the community of Lake Bonavista, the message applies to empty nesters across Calgary in other neighbourhoods like Willow Park, Oakridge, Signal Hill, Bel-Aire, who want to approach their next move strategically rather than under pressure.
If you’re quietly considering a future move, whether it’s two years away or seven, understanding your options early makes rightsizing significantly easier.
Worth noting, an additional piece written in the same publication titled: “How to Call a Family Meeting About Caring for Aging Parents”, by Nancy Bergeron is a excellent compliment to the article “Why Someday Is the Most Expensive Word When Rightsizing” by Chris Matlashewski; in gaining a understanding as to why having a plan and open communication is so important when downsizing.
