Ricardo Melendro

As an immigrant to Canada from Colombia in 2002, I soon became familiar with the Canadian real estate market when I started investing in real estate with my wife and have since grown a portfolio of investment properties both in Ontario and Alberta. In 2010 and after working for several years in my original field in the environmental field, I decided that it was time to embark on a career change naturally transitioning from investing in real estate to becoming a licensed full time real estate professional. I have been fortunate to have a great education and to be fluent in three languages (English, French and Spanish). I am also able to help people whose first language may be one other than English, to navigate the purchase and sale process. I offer a unique understanding of the real estate market, backed by a specialized knowledge pertaining to real estate investment. These skills, combined with strong research capabilities allow me to help my clients to more fully assess their prospective purchases and sales. It has been a pleasure to be able to assist my clients when selling or buying their home. It didn’t take me too long to realize, after embarking upon my current career, that there are many ways to approach the business. I stay away from the transactional approach to sales in which you only hear from your Realtor at the moment to buy or to sell. Instead, I work on a relational approach, getting to know more about my clients and providing them with valuable information prior to buying or selling their home. As I grow my business by referral, I am committed to provide an excellent service, focusing on my clients’ needs and wants. Whether you are about to embark on your house hunting trip or are looking for an investment property, I will be honoured to meet your real estate needs!
