Why Work With Me?

Most investors only get access to half the market - the MLS listings everyone else is competing for.
But real wealth is built when you can see every opportunity, not just the public ones.
Because I operate in both the public and private markets, you get the full picture:

  • MLS Opportunities

Residential, commercial, and pre-construction properties you can buy, rent, flip, or redevelop.

  • Private Market Investments

Exclusive real estate funds, private REITs, MICs, GP/LP deals, and builder-backed projects only available through a licensed Exempt Market Dealer.
When you can compare both sides of the market, you make smarter decisions, diversify with confidence, and access opportunities most investors never even hear about.

Public Market

Residential & Commercial Investments

When most people think of investing in real estate, they think of buying a property on MLS. That’s where I come in as your Realtor.

  • Income Properties → Legal secondary dwelling units (SDUs), duplexes, triplexes. I’ll show you where the cash flow works in Ottawa, Pembroke, Kemptville, and other key areas.
  • Pre-Construction → Access to Ottawa’s top builders through Metrocity Property Group.
    Learn deposit structures, timelines, and which projects actually deliver ROI.
  • Commercial Opportunities → Multi-family, retail, office, and development lands for
    investors seeking scale.

Exempt Market

Private Market Opportunities

As a Licensed Dealing Representative with Rethink & Diversify Capital, I help qualified investors access exempt market offerings that are not available to the general public.

These include:

  • Private REITs → Diversified real estate portfolios targeting cash flow and growth.
  • Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs) → Opportunities to earn fixed income returns backed by real estate.
  • Private Builder & Development Projects → Direct investment into housing projects and
    developments in Ontario and Quebec
  • Limited Partnerships → Structured real estate investments with professional management.

Investing With Registered & Corporate Accounts

One of the most overlooked advantages of private real estate investing is the ability to use registered and corporate accounts. Many offerings accept:

  • RRSP & TFSA
  • RESP & LIRA
  • Corporate Accounts
