About Rick Parks | Parks Real Estate Group

Meet Rick Parks

Parks Real Estate Group | Cornwall, SD&G, Brockville & Eastern Ontario

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make — and it shouldn’t feel confusing, rushed, or risky.

That’s why Rick Parks does things differently.

Rick is a Realtor, Mortgage Agent, long-time landlord, and real estate investor who helps buyers, sellers, and investors across Cornwall, SD&G, Brockville and Eastern Ontario make smart, confident, and informed decisions about their real estate and financing.


🎥Meet Rick – A Quick Introduction Video


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.


Local Knowledge That Protects You

Rick has lived in SD&G for over 30 years and currently resides in South Glengarry, just outside the City of Cornwall.

That local experience matters.

He understands:

  • Neighbourhoods

  • Rents

  • Zoning

  • Wells & septics

  • Sewer laterals

  • Older building systems

  • Local bylaws

  • Ontario landlord-tenant rules

This helps clients avoid:

  • Buying in the wrong area

  • Overpaying

  • Underestimating repair costs

  • Or purchasing a property that won’t perform as expected


More Than Just a Realtor

Rick is also a long-time member of the SD&G Landlords Association and works closely with a trusted network of:

  • Real estate lawyers

  • Mortgage lawyers

  • Home inspectors

  • Contractors & trades

  • Property managers

  • Accountants

  • Insurance professionals

So whether you’re buying, selling, renovating, or investing, Rick makes sure you always have the right professionals in your corner.


What Clients Say

Rick’s clients consistently describe him as:

  • Honest

  • Knowledgeable

  • Calm

  • Available

  • Easy to work with

Many say:

“We couldn’t have done it without Rick.”

Because Rick doesn’t just close deals — he helps people make good decisions.


Rick’s Promise to You

Rick believes real estate should build:

  • Stability

  • Wealth

  • Security

  • And quality of life

His goal is simple:

To help you achieve your homeownership dreams and build long-term wealth through smart real estate and mortgage strategies.

Whether you’re buying, selling, refinancing, or investing — Rick will be with you every step of the way.
