We honor our past and own our future. Our story began like so many others in real estate. Our founders, men of principle, opened their first brokerage offices in the 1950s. Harley E. Rouda, Sr., opened HER Realtors in Columbus, Ohio, and Joe and Vince Aveni opened Realty One in Cleveland, Ohio.
Both emerged as market leaders and both continued to thrive on dynamic leadership. In 1991, Rouda Sr. was elected president of the National Association of REALTORS®.
By the late 1990s, Wall Street conglomerates and private equity firms absorbed scores of family real estate businesses. Companies that had become trusted local institutions were now run by faraway masters. In 2002, Harley E. Rouda, Jr., the second generation owner of HER Realtors, chose a different path and together with partner Kaira Sturdivant Rouda, creator of the brand, put together a deal that united HER with Realty One, and Real Living was born. True to the spirit of its roots, Real Living continues to build on values of Family, Innovation and Results.
Real Living Inc. is now one of the nation’s fastest-growing real estate companies with offices coast to coast.
In 2007, Real Living Lifestyles Realty was co-founded by Bob Martin and Gary May in Scottsdale, Ariz., as part of the Real Living Network and a full service real estate company serving the “Valley of the Sun.” Bob (General Manager) and Gary (Designated Broker) have a very extensive background in real estate sales/marketing, business/sales management and REALTOR®-related software training. Combined, Bob and Gary have nearly 40 years of practical real estate experience. Real Living Lifestyles Realty initially opened two offices in Scottsdale with plans already underway to open several more within the “Valley of the Sun.”
