In 1996, Rick Hale left behind his dream of making it big in the music business and launched a career in real estate. He has never looked back. As a top-producing agent and then launching and operating Keller Williams Realty offices, he continued to expand his reach and deepen his impact, including leading eight offices as the operating partner. His team of realtors was recently honored as one the top-performing teams in the country. And in a single year, his group of agencies sold approximately 12,000 homes exceeding $3.4 billion in value . . . while still performing and recording rock music with friends.

Rick is involved in organizations to assist at-risk children and adolescents, including Camp Grace, which provides summer camp adventures for disadvantaged kids. His goal for these young people is the same as it is for the agents in his business and all those he trains: to inspire them to dream bigger dreams and reach their full potential.

Rick and his wife Pauline have four adult sons: Cory, Alex, Tyler, and Luke.
