A hockey player at heart, Paul still enjoys the thrill of scoring a goal. Today’s goal however, isn’t on the ice, it’s in the Ottawa Real Estate market helping families buy and sell real estate & accumulate wealth. After a 10-year professional hockey career in North America and Europe as both a player and assistant coach, Paul decided to bring his enthusiasm, dedication, and organizational skills to real estate in Ottawa.

In 2004, Paul traded his hockey jersey for a suit and tie and has since built a real estate empire that is nothing short of championship material. Since 2007, The Paul Rushforth Team has ranked as the #1 Residential Real Estate Team in Ottawa and finished 2009 as the #1 Keller Williams Team worldwide. Early in 2011, Paul decided to take his business to a new level and opened his own real estate company, Paul Rushforth Real Estate, Inc.

Growth & Dedication

Paul has built his team from the ground up in a short amount of time – growing from a single Ottawa real estate agent to a team of more than 30 people selling over 600 homes a year. Paul and his team pride themselves on treating every client as if they were their only client. He is dedicated, service oriented, and professional.

In 2008 and 2009, Paul was honored as a finalist for the Orleans Chamber of Commerce Professional of the Year and was a finalist for the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce Professional of the Year and Business of the Year in 2009. In 2009 Paul was also named one of the Top 40 Under 40 Business Professionals in Ottawa. The Top 40 Under 40 recognizes business professionals in Ottawa that “balance bottom line results with a desire to participate in charitable and community events”.

Paul and his team pride themselves on their active community presence, participating in and supporting such events as the CHEO BBQ, The Weekend to End Breast Cancer, Tools for School, the United Way Food Drive and Community Action Days, the Ottawa Snowsuit Fund, Orleans families at Christmas & Thanksgiving, and Children At Risk, a local charity supporting children with autism and their families.
