Vikram Properties Team
Vikram Ambalavanan
CEO
With a background in medicine and clinical research, I know how our environment impacts well-being; now, through real estate, I put that understanding into action. I’ve always believed a home does more than shelter—it shapes who we become. Our surroundings quietly mold our thoughts, habits, and hopes. My work in Cleveland is about more than flipping houses—it’s about breathing new life into worn spaces so families can build new beginnings. Every renovation transforms not just a structure, but the story of a neighborhood. I’m still learning, still growing—reading, refining, and investing in both property and personal development. My passion lies in creating beauty, stability, and opportunity for Cleveland’s communities, while building a future that rewards both heart and hard work.
