From an early age through the end of his teens he loved the idea of helping people solve problems. However, after a freshman year of physics, biology, & chemistry Allan says that he wondered if there were other ways to help people with a little less science involved.

The real estate industry: Now what?

AllanGlass, President of ASG Real Estate Inc. ® based in Los Angeles, California says from an early age through the end of his teens he loved the idea of helping people solve problems. So, he turned to real estate.

Real Estate in Los Angeles - crash or soft landing?

...Well, that certainly sounds good for Larry as he appears to have earned an extra $150K that year! Woohoo! Good for Larry. Larry was disappointed because, in the year period from ’05 to ’06 his home had lost $17K ($650 - $633). Larry believes that the worst of his real estate depreciation woes are behind him.

The company of course is Facebook and the artist David Choe. It's a good story, and archetypal rags to riches tale, a modern day road to Damascus if you will, and more power to him.

Except, Choe-a one time Beverly Hills high school alumni, and son of real estate agent's, has been on the so called 'fringe' for over ten years, earning quite the resume and with his bad Barron Storey knock... (more)
