Welcome Keith Johnston to TRU Realty!

TRU Realty is proud to welcome Keith Johnston to our growing team of professional Realtors serving Ottawa and the surrounding areas!

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Keith grew up in a military family as the son of a retired Admiral who served 38 years in the Canadian Navy. His upbringing instilled in him a strong work ethic, adaptability, and a deep appreciation for community—values that continue to define his approach to real estate today. Having lived across Canada and the U.S., Keith ultimately made Ottawa his home in 2001 and has been deeply rooted here ever since.

Before entering real estate, Keith built an impressive 20-year career in investment banking, developing expertise in finance, lending, and client service. In 2021, his lifelong fascination with homes, renovations, and property investment inspired him to make the leap into real estate—a move that proved to be a perfect fit. His extensive background in investing, lending and renovations allows him to offer clients practical insights and a clear, confident path through every stage of buying or selling.

Keith’s dedication extends far beyond his professional work. He is a passionate community volunteer, contributing his time and energy to organizations such as the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Meals on Wheels, Ronald McDonald House, Kaboom Play Structures, Habitat for Humanity, and the LGBTQ2+ community. Known for his lightning-fast communication, approachable style, and genuine care, Keith ensures every client feels fully supported throughout their real estate journey.

When he’s not working with clients, Keith can often be found camping with his partner, tackling home improvement projects, planning his next travel adventure, or tinkering with classic cars in the garage.

Please join us in welcoming Keith Johnston to the TRU Realty family—another great addition to our team that continues to Define Professionalism in Real Estate.
