The saying goes that, “every man is the architect of his future.” Aaron Charles’passion for real estate lies in not only in constructing a solid and impactful foundation for his vision but also in his commitment to actualize the dreams of the individuals and families who he works with to help secure their biggest investment. To create, design and build a solid groundwork for any venture, one must have a big vision – a trait that Charles prides himself on possessing. The ability to see the bigger picture despite small instances, setbacks and obstacles is what has been the cornerstone of Charles’success. His simplistic approach to real estate is a principle that he applies to life as well – buy low, sell high. In life you have to build from the ground up but aim high.
Charles was not always clear about his vision. He was young and lacked the sense of purpose that would give him a clear direction. After his parents divorced and he moved in with his father and brother in Toronto from Trinidad & Tobago, he found it difficult to assimilate in this new country. So, he got mixed up in the wrong crowds and pursued things that provided instant gratification instead of lasting benefits. Charles’ relationship with his father eventually became strained and he was forced to face the world on his own as he found himself living in a group home. For awhile, he tried juggling school with a late night dishwasher job, but eventually the call of the streets became something he could not resist.
At the age of 18, when his friends were thinking about their next steps after high school and moving on to University/college, Charles began to realize that he had zero vision as to where or what he wanted to be. The reality set in that he no longer had himself to think about but the future of the little boy he had on the way as well. A phone call from his mother in Trinidad would change everything as he jumped on a plane to visit her back home. While he did not have a vision for his own life, his mother made it clear that her vision for him was to become something great and that she prayed everyday it would happen. From there, Charles made it his goal to answer his mother’s prayers and become what he was destined to be.
It was a serious car accident in 2009, which Charles was lucky enough to come out of with no major injuries that would become the tipping point and springboard for the new direction that his life would take. Experiencing a near fatal accident made Charles very clear about his purpose, and he decided to make decisive steps towards his vision. It was in his downtime, as he recovered from the accident, that his friend introduced him to real estate and the endless opportunity that could come from it. Two months later, Charles took a leap of faith and invested in his first property – a triplex building in Hamilton, Ontario. This first purchase was the beginning of Charles’ passion for the real estate industry. From then on, he was all in. For him, it was no longer about the “right now” but more about what is best for the future.
Charles says, “my passion for the business is what propels me and wakes me up every morning. For me, it’s not about the money; it’s about the light at the end of the tunnel.” Not focusing on money may sound like a funny thing to hear from a real estate professional, when their career is built on sales, but, Charles learned very early on from his mentor that in order to weather the storms of entrepreneurship, you need to learn to live without money. Scale your lifestyle; separate your wants from your needs and let your passion be the driver.
