Meet Rick Parks…..
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.
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.
