Ralph Fox

Native Torontonian Ralph Fox recognized from an early age that the most successful people in life apply long-term thinking to their investments, relationships, and life goals. It’s this philosophy, along with his lifelong entrepreneurial drive and exceptional business instincts, that have helped to establish Ralph as a top broker in the real estate market in downtown Toronto.

From the age of 12, Ralph set his sights on running his own business, and by 14, he’d already started two successful enterprises. After achieving a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Ontario, Ralph launched an importing and manufacturing company from the trunk of his car. In his twenties, Ralph continued to hone his negotiating skills by brokering business deals with partners in China, Hong Kong, India and Thailand, while at the same time managing sales agencies in major cities across the U.S. and Canada. Within a few short years, he grew his company into a full-scale operation with sales distribution networks that spanned North America and over time he was able to parlay his business acumen into his other big passion – Toronto’s real estate market.

Ralph is a firm believer in the long-term potential of the Toronto real estate market. Ralph is the broker of record and founder of Fox Marin Associates – a boutique, full-service Toronto real estate brokerage with close to a half Billion in sales volume under its belt. Ralph puts his decades of success in Toronto’s incredibly competitive marketplace to work, hammering out smart solutions that meet each client’s unique personal and financial objectives. He also practices what he preaches, having built a significant and growing residential investment portfolio of his own. Ralph has partnered with some of the largest developers in Canada and has contributed his unique perspective on real estate trends to a wide range of media outlets, including The Globe and Mail, The Huffington Post, Canadian Real Estate Wealth magazine, Global TV News, CTV, Metro News, The Toronto Star, and the New Condo Guide magazine.

Ralph has a keen interest in understanding how to maximize human potential and longevity. As an avid reader, some of his greatest business influences are Warren Buffett, Elon Musk and Richard Branson. Ralph is also a personal performance and leadership coach, certified by the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC). Ralph holds a Master’s Certification in Negotiation from Harvard University and has been asked to judge the University of Toronto-Rotman School of Management’s Marketing Case Study Finals.

A true Renaissance man, Ralph enjoys the thrill of fast-paced business negotiations just as much as consulting with clients on trends in architecture and design. His “work-hard-play-hard” mentality means that in his rare off-hours, you’re just as apt to catch him lacing up his hockey skates, hitting a new personal record at the gym, enjoying a fine Ripasso in a local Italian restaurant, or wandering Toronto’s Annex neighbourhood with brokerage partner Kori Marin and their loveable Rhodesian ridgeback, Draper.
