INVESTING
Want Your Money Working Harder
Most investors want to grow their wealth through real estate - they just don’t always know where the real opportunities are. I help Ottawa investors find the right fit on and off the market.
From residential and commercial properties to private real estate deals not found on public exchanges, you’ll see every option available - not just the obvious ones.
Let’s build a plan to grow and diversify your real estate portfolio with confidence.
"I am a dealing representative with Rethink and Diversify Securities Inc. and all exempt market securities that I sell are offered through my sponsoring firm Rethink and Diversify securities".
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:
Residential, commercial, and pre-construction properties you can buy, rent, flip, or redevelop.
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
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.
If you’re looking to expand your portfolio with confidence, I’ll help you evaluate numbers, locations, and long-term upside.
Exempt Market
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:
These are opportunities typically reserved for institutions and high-net-worth investors - now available to qualified individuals through the exempt market.
One of the most overlooked advantages of private real estate investing is the ability to use registered and corporate accounts. Many offerings accept:
This allows you to diversify your portfolio, reduce tax drag, and put dormant funds to work in real estate investments

Hear What my Clients Have to Say

exemptions, only available to qualified investors through a registered dealer.
