Over the past six years, Ely has worked to establish himself as a local expert, and has become a trusted advisor representing owners in Surrey and Langley with investment sales and land assemblies.

Ely is passionate about community development and strongly believes in the future of North Surrey, specifically Guildford and Fleetwood areas. A critical thinker, creative problem solver and active listener, Ely constantly strives to build innovative strategies to support his clients’ real estate initiatives and help achieve their business strategic objectives. 

Having recently completed multiple sales in Surrey City Centre, including the sale of a 1-acre, 35-storey concrete development site in the first half of 2020, Ely has a confident outlook on the future development potential of his focused area. His understanding of the market and economy deepens his belief that this strategic regional hub will undoubtedly attract significant inflow of consumers and developers given its affordability, proximity to rapid transit as well as comprehensive community amenities that consumers increasingly demand. 

Prior to joining Cushman & Wakefield, Ely advised diverse clientele on office leasing throughout Metro Vancouver.

Ely earned a B.A. (Hons) in History at University of British Columbia and completed a one-year exchange at Tsinghua University where he studied Mandarin.
