My father was a real estate broker selling homes in Seattle, he later became the sales manager for one of the largest real estate land development companies in the United States. The company created land developments in Washington, Oregon, California, and Australia and had offices throughout the World including Europe and Asia. From Palm Springs to Ocean Shores, from mountain tops to ocean side sand dunes, this company put developments together that are common city names today. I consider myself fortunate, I grew up around bulldozers, road graders, land surveyors, engineers, a Secretary of State, Governors, bankers, and in my opinion, some of the best damn salespeople and real estate investors in the United States. For these talented people, making money was an every day event......if not an hourly occurrence. Growing up around them was an education in land buying, sales, marketing, analyzing, negotiating, Government rules, investing and making money. It was an education that could not have been gained any were else on this earth. The tides of time, money and talent all came to cross paths at two or three points, and I was fortunate enough to be close by when it happened. For some reason (like I had a choice), I became a real estate agent and had the opportunity of selling real estate side by side with these talented people. Vacant land, houses, condominiums, residential subdivisions, time-share condominiums, estates, and recreational property, if was something you could live in or on, I had the opportunity to sell it. All around me, at every step of the way, my father Dick Hagar and his friends Rich Emery, George Donahoe, Herb Horton, Glen and Jack Corning, Harry Gillis, Joe and Mike Hengtgen, bought real estate, made lots of money and were kind enough to show me the way to do the same - Thank you gentlemen! Thank you very much. Later I became involved with a construction company building and selling homes to first time home buyers and developing our own subdivisions. I’ve helped build hundreds of homes including my own. I’ve managed investment properties for others, and myself, and helped hundreds of people successfully buy and invest in real estate. Today I’m the owner of American Home Appraisals and have a few credits to my name including: I started with two vacant lots near Bellingham and along the way purchased many properties. Today I own.... well lets just say more properties than the average person. Experience from owning, together with the knowledge of a real estate agent and the analytical skills learned as a real estate appraiser, have provided me with a unique Insider’s prospective on real estate and real estate investing. The ride towards knowledge and investing can be wild, fun, filled with insight, and downright profitable..... want to come along? Richard Click Here Copyright © 2004 Richard Hagar |
