Brad Whiteman, the Broker/Owner of Real Living Now, comes from a long line of local real estate professionals. “My family goes back four generations in local real estate so I’m continuing a legacy of sorts. My personal training is in counseling, going back a couple of decades, and really, when you think about it, it’s the heart of what we are doing with our clients, giving them sound counsel on some of the most important issues they’ll face in their lives”.

Seeing many countries over the years has been important to Brad. “I love seeing other cultures and traveling in our diverse world. It’s so important to get an understanding that we truly live in a global community and that our actions have an impact.” Brad has traveled to India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Israel, Egypt, and many parts of Europe. He lived for two years in Costa Rica with his wife.

“My role in our business is to ensure that our agents are providing the very best service to their clients. We do this by providing cutting edge technology, state of the art interactive websites, and world-class communication tools” says Brad. “In this rapid real estate environment, agents and clients need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with each other. Clients need to have information and agents need to have the skill to interpret, negotiate, and articulate, the information, the process of buying and selling, and other critical issues that buyers and sellers are facing these days. Our training program is the best in the business, it’s personal and it’s real. And that’s what we’re all about.”

Brad has 4 dogs “the Heinz 57 kind, pound puppies!”, has a black-belt degree in the martial art Aikido, has various counseling degrees, and loves his work. “I love what I do. Teaching and training agents to improve their lives and the lives of their clients is a great thing. To see people experience positive life changes, meet challenges head on, the rewards are daily…and it brings meaning to the day.”
