Ralph ojos bio
Ralph migrated to the United States in 1984 with little or no money in his pocket. After two weeks, he became homeless but found his way through. His first job started off as a dishwasher at the University of Houston and by working and moving aggressively, he made his way through college. He attended Prairie View A&M University in 1987 and majored in Agriculture with aspirations to establish his own poultry farm. After graduation, he stumbled upon a job as a Social Worker. With the knowledge he gained, that job ignited his passion for interacting with the family members of the mentally challenged. Ralph then decided to go back to Prairie View A&M University to get his Master’s Degree in Sociology in order to set himself apart in the social working industry.
After graduating, he accepted a job offer as a teacher at the UH-Downtown facility and Houston Community College as a Sociology instructor. Ralph’s communication and interaction skills increased in being able to adapt to reach his students. In 1995, he purchased his first home and this became a stepping stone into his Real Estate career. He saw the value in the industry and immediately became a real estate agent. HIs career started as an agent under the brokerage of Christie Realty and was the top producer for eight consecutive years selling over 380+ homes.
In 2001, he decided to start his own business to become a broker and Discovered Homes Investment Inc. was born. Transferring the skills acquired over the years at Christie Realty, business started picking up quickly and he became one of the top produces in the Houston area for Houston Association of Realtors (HAR). Around this time, his wife Nike Ojo decided to leave her job as a deputy clerk at the Harris County Tax collector's office to join her husband. This move birthed the Mortgage Lending arm of the business.
Ralph lives by the quote of “Never sacrifice integrity for growth.” During 2008 economy crash, many people lost their investments in form of money, homes and other assets. Many Real Estate companies were closed down, Discovered Homes stayed afloat through the crash under the leadership of Ralph and he assisted more than 250 families in finding new homes and obtaining loan
modifications as well to overcome challenges in order to better their lives despite the recession. As the economy was trying to rebuild itself, people were looking for real estate agents that were trustworthy, and the name in Houston that kept coming up was Ralph Ojo. Ralph sets himself apart from other agents by not only being an investor, but also a teacher of Real Estate and financial freedom.
A true story of rags to riches, Ralph has believed in character and integrity. In his own words “Everything we do is based on our commitment to improve the life of our investors, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and employees and we want everyone to embrace these values with us” This attitude sets him apart from other companies and the reason why Discovered Homes Investment Inc. has been around for 17+ years.
