About George Rosenberg

Counseling
After graduating college (Dartmouth ’52), I went West and learned to be a real estate broker and investor. During the decade of the ’70s, I developed a different type of real estate business, stressing that the motivations of people, more than the attributes of properties, were responsible for real estate decisions. To understand my clients, I learned the art of counseling, which I’ve practiced for thirty years.

A Buyer's Broker
In the ’80s I continued my real estate business with added emphasis on three more activities: Hourly Consulting, Tax Deferred Exchanging, and Buyer Representation. Together with four others I wrote an Agency Disclosure document. Our group was instrumental in persuading California to enact Agency Disclosure based on our model, the first to differentiate in writing a client from a customer. Most other state Departments of Real Estate now use our basic disclosure form. In addition to my brokerage activities, I published and edited the annual national publications, Who’s Who in Creative Real Estate (1975-1994) and the Buyer’s Broker Registry (1984-1994). I also wrote a monthly real estate newsletter addressed to my clients. Other brokers asked me to personalize it for distribution to their clients. For twenty years my newsletter set a national standard as a personalized investment newsletter.

Recognition
1989: One of three people that year accepted into the national Exchanger’s Hall of Fame.

1993: Co-authored and self-published a book about seller financing, Sell Your Property Fast. The book is in its third edition with the title, Owner Will Carry.

1997: Recognized by the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (NAEBA) as one of two founding fathers of the national Buyer Brokerage movement.

Recently I wrote and self-published a fiction book, M, about my real-life adventures as the owner of a 109-space mobile home park. Its story is a microcosm of life, and, readers say, is both funny and poignant.

Schedule
In 2003 I will be doing (so far) two seminars, one in Scottsdale and one in Las Vegas.

Also, I will be teaching (one night a week) the Real Estate Taxation and Exchange course at our local Community College.
