RISMEDIA, September 11, 2007– Leo Pareja purchased his first property while in college and from then on he was bitten by the real estate bug. At age 24, this young entrepreneur is already poised to grow a successful real estate business. Read why we chose him as a Realtor on the Rise.

Herndon, Virginia

Age: 24 Life-changing story: After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Pareja decided to delve into real estate. Young entrepreneur: While still in college, Pareja purchased his first investment property.

Following the lead of his principal broker-and while still in college-Pareja jumped into real estate investing on his own and bought his first condominium. He moved into the condo and rented out the extra rooms and soon discovered that the rental income more than paid for his monthly mortgage payment.

From their impressive sales figures, to their innovative marketing strategies, to their community involvement, Real Estate magazine’s editors have chosen 50 Realtors on the Rise, selected from hundreds of candidates. We congratulate this year’s winners on stepping up, pushing forward and committing to the real estate marketplace.
