A Different Kind of Real Estate Professional

Before entering real estate full-time, Rick built and ran a successful consulting business serving hospitality and service businesses across Eastern Ontario. He also spent years in home renovation and has over 25 years of experience owning and managing multi-residential properties.

That hands-on experience means Rick doesn’t just understand houses — he understands:

• How buildings really work

• What repairs and upgrades cost

• How tenants behave

• What cash flow should look like

• How mortgages impact long-term wealth

Very few agents can combine:

Real estate, mortgages, investing, and building knowledge in one place — Rick can.

Realtor + Mortgage Agent = Better Advice

Most people have one agent for the home and another for the mortgage. Rick offers both — which means every client benefits from a fully integrated strategy.

Rick doesn’t just look at:

• “Can you buy this house?”

He looks at:

• What will it cost you long-term?

• Is the mortgage structured properly?

• Does this property make sense financially?

• Are there better options you haven’t been shown?

This allows Rick to help clients:

• Find better-fitting mortgage products

• Use FHSA, RRSP, TFSA and down-payment strategies

• Reduce risk

• Improve cash flow

• And avoid costly mistakes

Helping First-Time Buyers, Families & Investors Succeed

Rick specializes in:

• First-time home buyers

• Move-up families

• Relocators to Eastern Ontario

• Cash-flow real estate investors

Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading for your growing family, relocating to Cornwall or Brockville, or building a rental portfolio, Rick’s job is to make sure:

You understand your options, your risks, and your long-term opportunities — before you sign anything.
