He put his degree in finance and portfolio management, as well as his MBA, to use operating a successful million-dollar financial services practice, managing clients’ personal net worth, and helping high-net-worth individuals with real estate financing. This experience gave Blake a better understanding of the luxury housing market, how real estate works toward building a legacy and how a primary or secondary home can fit as an investment.
