The Good Old Days:
Larry was first licensed in 1987 at the age of 21. Immediately, he
went to work for Coldwell Banker in North Seattle. There he earned the GRI designation from
the Realtors
Institute. Many of his customers were real estate investors who needed
someone with a sharp eye for the big picture, from initial investment, to rehab
to reselling at a profit. Not just someone who wants to sell something
just to make a commission. These investors became the bread and butter of
Larry's business.
Look out, Carlton Sheets!!
Larry learned the ropes from some of the best real estate investors
in King County. After 5 years of helping others he decided to try his hand
in investing for himself. He used the methods he had acquired from his
customers and applied them to his own real estate transactions. After
acquiring 20 or so properties in a 10 year period he retired, bought a condo in
Phoenix and decided to become a snowbird. UGH! This did not work
out, he has way too much energy! He wanted to get back into Real Estate but
did not want to work for a huge profit hungry company where his energy, ability
and creativity would be quickly lost in the crowd.
A New Real Estate Company:
He decided to open
American Classic Homes with his best friend since kindergarten, Kimberly Smith.
It was apparent within weeks of the Grand Opening that this was the best move he
could have made.
Instead of wearing the title of broker/owner, he hired Bill Boyer as Broker and
took the title of Sales Associate. This let his customers know he is
committed to THEM and their needs. The initial investment in the
"Right Things" such as professional design of the Logo, Marketing Material and a
huge investment in Technology gave the NEW company "the edge" right out of the
starting gate. The company quickly gained a reputation for honesty,
integrity and excellent service. It became profitable within 2 months.
People discovered that it was fun and rewarding doing business with a smaller
company because of the relaxed atsmophere. What you see on this website
is a glimpse of our efforts. We hope you enjoy it!!!
