Frank has nearly 10 years of experience as a licensed Realtor and now Broker of Record for Chafra Realty. He works with a select group of clients to help them find or sell their property after first thoroughly assessing their needs and then developing a plan to help them achieve their objectives. Prior to obtaining his real estate license, Frank and his wife, Chantal, owned a local business with over 80 employees. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Ottawa and a Master’s degree from the University of Southern California. Frank began his career in management consulting nearly 30 years ago, holding senior consulting and management positions with Mercer and Deloitte in Toronto, Montréal and Ottawa.
What Chafra’s investment clients really appreciate, however, is that Frank and his wife, Chantal, have been active real estate investors for over 20 years. They have done it all: long-term rentals, short-term rentals (AirBnB), commercial landlording, fix & flips, foreign real estate investing, etc. It’s this personal experience that makes the difference for their clients – in addition to their undisputed knowledge of the Ottawa real estate market!
Cédrick has been around real estate his entire life: working with Frank and Chantal to find and renovate investment properties, providing assistance with staging client’s homes, and supporting all aspects of the real estate buying, renovating and selling process. He has now joined the family business as a licensed Realtor where he can put his years of personal real estate experience to use in helping clients sell their home or find the home of their dreams.
Prior to joining the firm, Cédrick was an award-winning member of the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League. He ended his junior hockey career as one of the winningest goaltenders in the 50+ year history of the franchise. Most recently, he spent the 2020-21 season with the Belleville Senators, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Ottawa Senators of the NHL. While hockey is Cédrick’s first love – he brings the same passion and drive to his work with our clients.
Chantal wears many hats in the brokerage. In addition to working with Frank on client research and analysis, she has a keen eye for design and helps our clients stage and decorate their home for maximum resale value. In addition, through her years of experience as a real estate investor and business owner, she has established relationships with many home renovation suppliers and professional tradespeople all over Ottawa. If you are buying a fixer upper in which to live, a fix & flip property, or a rental property (short- or long-term), Chantal can help you maximize the value of your investment.
Chantal has been a business owner and entrepreneur for over 15 years. After earning a degree from the University of Ottawa, she began her career with the federal government and held a variety of positions in operations, training, media relations, and management over the course of 12 years in Toronto, Montréal and Ottawa.
Great things begin with just a question!
We look forward to hearing from you.
