Who is Sandy MacKay?

I help Canadians build wealth through real estate and expand their freedom. I am obsessed with finding ways to live a life by design, rather than by default.


With more than 10 years in the real estate industry, Sandy is an experienced investor, a real estate entrepreneur, and a visionary for building generational wealth through real estate.

Sandy Mackay grew up in the Greater Toronto Area and started his real estate career in 2011. By 2012 he began his personal investing journey by buying his first property in Oshawa, Ontario. He eventually put roots down in Hamilton, Ontario seeing the potential that the market had to offer. This led to a career as a realtor with Keller Williams where he started in 2014.

His consistent and strategic work has led him to build multiple million-dollar businesses in real estate including a realtor team selling 300+ units a year, a property management company, and an investment company. Sandy’s success can be attributed largely to his ability to build and lead teams. 

In 2021, continually seeking to diversify and expand the business, he launched Keller Williams Legacies Realty in Vaughan, Ontario where he is the Operating Principal. The brokerage grew to over 100 realtors within its first year of operation.
