Working in real estate can be a fulfilling and financially rewarding career, but it’s certainly not an easy one! Today, you’ll learn some of the ins and outs of the business from Mr. Russell White, who is the owner of White House Realty in Sacramento, California, and a full-service real estate broker who has been in the business for almost 30 years. In that time, he has handled tens of thousands of real estate transactions, has personally owned over 20 rental units, and has been a partner on numerous “flips,” which allows him to provide the kind of experienced and personal service that most agents cannot.
