In 2002 I obtained my real estate license to help manage the and divest of real property owned by the partnership and following the dissolution of that business I went on to work as a salesperson for a large national real estate chain. Newly licensed in a fast paced real estate market was exciting but a large national chain wasn't a good fit for me. When I was asked to join a small partnership in Las Vegas flipping houses I jumped on the opportunity and there I gained a lot more experience (sometimes doing things wrong) building decks, laying tile, cutting concrete, installing doors, cabinets and countertops. One of the projects I worked on was featured in the early versions of home renovation television, A&E series Flip That House. This was an amazing experience in a completely new environment and I had the opportunity to frequently travel to China to source and import building materials but with the housing prices in the country at dramatically decreasing and temperature in Las Vegas dramatically increasing in the summer of 2008 I returned to the Central Coast. I soon renewed my California real estate license and went to work for a small brokerage in San Luis Obispo. A small company focused on personal service was a much better fit for me than the larger national chain and over the course of 12 years there working full time, focused on real estate sales and residential rental management, I learned a great deal and built a solid foundation. I founded Link Real Estate Group, Inc. in order to continue to expand on that foundation and take advantage of all the tools currently available in the real estate industry in order to provide the very best service and experience for our clients, customers and the agents who work there.
