About Paul Rushforth
Paul began his career with 10 years of professional hockey as a centre and later as an assistant coach. Paul’s roots, however, were in real estate. His mother was a full time agent and he learned from her while growing up.
In 2004, Paul decided that Ottawa families could use his knowledge and energy and he returned to real estate full time. He quickly became a top selling and award winning realtor, but it wasn’t long before his inner coach surfaced, compelling him to start his own team.
In 2011, Paul Rushforth Real Estate Inc. was born. Today Paul and his 30-person team help over 650 people a year buy and sell their homes. By giving each and every client a dedicated representative who is backed by an expert support team, Paul Rushforth Real Estate gets incredible results. You can learn more about Paul here.

- Since 2008 we have sold more residential homes than any other team in Ottawa (according to MLS sales statistics).
- We were the top Keller Williams team worldwide in 2009.
