I’m a licensed real estate broker with the Scranton Board of Realtors, and I’ve spent over 20 years helping clients build and manage successful real estate portfolios. At Parasole Properties, we offer in-house brokerage services with a focus on investor strategy—whether it’s sourcing off-market opportunities, analyzing listed deals, or managing stabilized assets. My approach always centers on profitability, zoning potential, and long-term value.
Since relocating from the Poconos to Scranton in 2003, I’ve been immersed in real estate development and construction across Northeast Pennsylvania. As a licensed Scranton general contractor and active developer, I’ve overseen everything from full gut renovations to ground-up multifamily construction. I work closely with city engineers, zoning boards, architects, and inspectors—giving me the insight needed to move projects from concept to completion efficiently and effectively.
A major key to my success has been the incredible team I’ve built—both in the field and in the office. From highly skilled contractors to our top-notch administrators, we’ve developed efficient systems that allow us to handle a high volume of properties while maintaining exceptional standards. That structure has been instrumental to our continued growth and performance.
I got my start early—working in the trades and learning the numbers side of real estate side by side. By 18, I was working full time while earning my Business Management degree at East Stroudsburg University. I’ve built hands-on experience in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, masonry, landscaping, and excavation. That background allows me to evaluate properties not just on paper, but through the lens of a builder and a developer.
Today, I’m proud to pass that hands-on experience to the next generation. My daughter Sophia is already learning the ropes at just six years old. She tags along to inspections, helps out at the office, and has a surprising knack for spotting imperfections during punchlist walkthroughs—earning her a growing reputation as our toughest critic (and one of our best).
And of course, I’m rarely seen without Pork Chop, my English Bulldog and full-time morale officer. She rides with me daily, attends closings, visits job sites, inspects houses, and even naps and drools her way through the aisles of Home Depot. Most people don’t know me as Ron—they know me as “Pork Chop’s dad,” and I take that as a compliment.
Whether you’re a first-time investor or managing a growing portfolio, I bring a hands-on, full-spectrum approach that combines brokerage, construction, and asset management—designed to bring clarity, confidence, and long-term results.
