From a very early age, Carlos has lived for real estate. In 1978 he was calculating the price per square foot in utero. With record interest rates looming, and a long term lease denied, he was evicted into the world with two objectives. Be creative and sell houses.
In kindergarten, he was the go-to guy for prime cubby location. In grade 2 his growing network of short term couch fort rentals was shuttered due to fire code violations. In grade 3, after 10 consecutive hours, he successfully programmed his first investment property calculator on his mother’s Commodore 64 Datassette. It was overwritten shortly thereafter by a “Super Synth” program. Grade 7 — Monopoly. He didn’t care what street you lived on, and he always sold his houses in multiple offers.
In high school he only attended parties to check out his classmates’ chattels and fixtures. In 2002, he earned a diploma in Kinesiology from Ottawa U, which he promptly used to frame an MLS district map. He was using the 2008 Pantone colour of the year in 2004. He tried living in Vancouver for a few years, but it had neither enough snow nor PSAC workers for his liking.
In 2007, he returned to Ottawa, obtained his real estate license, and has never looked back. Except to look at a backyard. Who doesn’t love a good backyard?
You stay classy, Ottawa.
