Hello!

My name is Aravinthan (Ara) Ehamparam and I’m passionate about securing financial independence, both for myself, and for others.

I began investing in real estate to diversify (away from the stock market) for the future, and to have an investment tool which my wife and I could use for early retirement. My journey over the last 7 years has helped me inch closer towards achieving this goal, and if you’re trying to do the same, I’m a firm believer that real estate investing can be life changing; as long as you have a long-term horizon in mind, and a willingness to exercise patience.

You may be wondering, “Patience? Who has time for that? Besides, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of real estate agents who I could invest in Toronto with instead.”

And to that, I would say, “Yes, you’re right. Some of them may even offer you a get rich quick blueprint – but I’m not one of them.”

What I am, is someone who is invested in providing added value through my commitment to helping YOU secure financial independence – in a realistic and sustainable way. While that may sound like a lofty statement to make, I believe that my track record speaks for itself…

I am a disciple of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and a family man living in a condo with his wife and two kids – not out of necessity, but by choice – so that we can achieve our ultimate goal of financial independence in the next 5 years (We’re not parenting experts so if you can provide some advice in the parenting domain, that would be greatly appreciated!).  In my personal portfolio, I did own a number of condos but recently diversified by liquidating a few to move up into multi-family properties.

BUT even if obtaining financial independence isn’t your end goal, real estate is still a useful investment to have in your portfolio – and besides, everyone needs a place to live!

I understand that the buying and selling process in real estate can be overwhelming, but let me try to make it as simple and fun for you as possible. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, or a seasoned investor trying to bolster your portfolio, I’m here and I’m ready to help with all of your buying, selling, and leasing needs.

If you’re curious about my interests outside of real estate, I also love: the Raptors, my wife, my kids (in that order… just kidding of course), travelling, food, reading, working on my start-up ventures, and Toronto (the best city in the world to call home, in my biased opinion).

“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”

― Chinese Proverb

It’s really easy to look back at life with regret and wonder “what if?” Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do to get that time back. What you can do is look at where you are now and make an investment that helps you be where you want to be five, 10, or even 20 years down the road.

“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

― Bruce Lee

The reason my wife and I began investing in real estate was because life is fleeting. We wanted to maximize the time we could spend together, rather than just making the most out of the time we had. Seven years later, we are first-time parents and looking forward to being able to use this time to cherish the moments that matter with our newborns.

Success Stories

Every time I asked for real estate listings, Ara would send me Raptor highlights instead. Unless you’re looking to buy Raptor tickets, I don’t recommend him.

In all seriousness, I am currently in the process of buying a home for the first-time, and my experience with Ara so far has been nothing short of phenomenal. Initially, I knew I wanted to buy a property, but I had no idea where to get started. Ara laid out a blueprint for me to follow, including the timeline that I am aiming to purchase my first property by, and a budgeting strategy to save up for the down payment, closing costs, etc. He frequently follows up to check on my progress, and sends me listings on a daily basis that fit the requirements of what I am looking for. In addition to all of this, Ara also connected me to a mortgage broker who has helped me understand the do’s and don’ts of building good credit, and guided me towards successfully achieving this.

Ara was an absolute pleasure to work with as he helped me purchase my first home, a beautiful 2-bedroom condo. He was very responsive throughout the process in terms of answering questions, sending me properties that he thought would be a good fit, setting up showings, etc. He walked me through everything including connecting with me a good mortgage broker to get a great deal on my mortgage and a lawyer as well. He was able to find me a property that fit my needs within a matter of weeks. I highly recommend him to other first-time home buyers looking for a knowledgeable, patient salesperson to work with.

I wanted to sell my condo during a time when the condo market was seemingly saturated with listings all over the city. Ara recommended that I stage the condo, price conservatively and have it vacant in order to maximize foot traffic which would increase the likelihood of it being sold. I was a little doubtful, but within 3-4 days, we had a good number of showings and had multiple offers leading to one offer that I accepted. Additionally, Ara liasioned with the stagers and handyman to make sure the unit looked ready for showings while also recommending a great real estate lawyer as well. From beginning to end, Ara made the selling process very seamless for me. I have full confidence after my experience that he's the guy, especially in dealing with the condo market!

The pandemic made it difficult for me to find a quality tenant on my own via Kijiji. So I turned to Ara to help me with getting my condo leased out to a good tenant that I wouldn't need to worry about. It was a little stressful just because vacancies were so high in downtown Toronto and prospective tenants had so many choices. However, Ara stressed patience and that we would get the right tenant. He was right, the tenant he found me has been low-maintenance, responsive and pays her rent on time. If you need help with navigating the condo market, I would highly recommend you work with Ara!
