Rich started in the real estate industry first as an appraiser. After graduating with a degree in finance, he worked as a real estate appraiser in California, where he discovered the fundamental importance of home ownership. He then went to law school and became a Washington State attorney. He practiced as a family lawyer and then as a title insurance attorney before heading back into the industry he missed.
