Larry spent ten years with the U.S.M.C. During his tour, he was sent to Paris
Island as a drill instructor, but spent the majority of his tour attached to the
“Air Wing” stationed in several air bases around the world. He is a pilot, an
avid downhill skier, and motor-cycle rider. After his discharge from the
U.S.M.C., he helped teach “Dale Carnegie Courses” in San Francisco. At
that time, he started, owned, and operated a direct mail advertising company
in San Francisco. In 1980, he decided it was time for a career change into
the field of Real Estate. In his first ten months of this new adventure, he had
a sales volume of 1.65 million dollars. The secret of his success was his
marketing ability. Due to his strong family ties, he decided to move back to
Buffalo, New York, where he started his real estate career with RE/MAX. Soon after moving back,
he met and married Patty-Sue, who owned and operated a hair salon. In the beginning of their relationship,
she realized that she enjoyed the adventure of real estate so he encouraged her to obtain her
real estate license. After she obtained her license, they branched out on their own and formed
“Riparian Realty,” selling only “waterfront property.” After four years, due to several factors including
outrageous real estate taxes and cold winters, they decided to move to sunny Florida and began
their real estate venture with a fresh start. After 11 years in Florida, They are now serving buyers and
sellers from all over the world with…The Home Source Realtors, in Newnan Ga.
