Greg Rand is a 20-year real estate expert and Managing Partner at Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty. As a foremost authority on housing patterns and emerging trends within the real estate market, Rand predicted the debilitating housing crisis and has recently focused his efforts on advising others that real estate investing is not for fair-weather real estate speculators, but requires the precision and attention to detail found in science. Rand is guided by his proprietary 12-step methodology that provides concrete, creative and pragmatic rules on how to act ahead of the curve to gain wealth in real estate through all market cycles. He has since turned his attention to collaborating with a powerful coalition of political, civic, and business oriented professionals to help solve the foreclosure crisis. His advice is followed by readers of his popular blog, “House Rules,” and he attains widespread viewership on real estate matters as a regular on the Fox Business Network and Fox News. Rand was also featured in The New York Times, “There’s Value in Real Estate if you Find your Florida” by Paul Sullivan. He is also a regular contributor to Entrepreneur.com on the subject of real estate.
Rand has spearheaded the entry of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty into the greater Hudson Valley and Westchester County real estate brokerage markets. As the Managing Director, he oversees a staff of 800 agents spanning 19 offices. REAL Trends magazine recently reported that Mr. Rand’s firm was ranked number 60 among the top 100 firms in the United States by tracking the number of closed sales volume, with more than $1.3 billion dollars in closed sales in 2008.
His forthcoming book, “House Rich” is scheduled for publication in 2010.
