Franco Ippolito

Your OTTAWA real estate specialist

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. Experience matters. Strategy matters. Negotiation matters. And having the right Realtor by your side can make all the difference.

For nearly four decades, Franco Ippolito has been helping buyers, sellers, investors, downsizers, and families successfully navigate the Ottawa real estate market with confidence. Since starting his real estate career in 1987, Franco has built his business almost entirely through repeat clients and referrals — a true reflection of the trust, relationships, and results he delivers year after year.

Known for his honest advice, strong negotiation skills, and hands-on approach, Franco combines old-school client care with modern marketing strategies that get homes noticed and sold.

Whether you are purchasing your first home, upgrading to accommodate a growing family, downsizing after decades in your family home, or building a real estate investment portfolio, Franco brings unmatched market knowledge, practical experience, and a calm, strategic approach to every transaction.

What truly sets Franco apart is his real-world experience beyond real estate sales alone. As a long-time real estate investor and multi-property landlord since 1989, Franco understands homes from both a homeowner and investor perspective. His background in construction and renovations gives clients valuable insight into property condition, renovation potential, hidden issues, resale value, and smart investment opportunities that many agents simply overlook.
