Charles LaReaux Partners With The Hakans Group - Coldwell Banker Wardley Las Vegas Real Estate

Online, November 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - For two decades, Charles LaReaux made a name for himself in the concert lighting business, working with entertainment luminaries from across the spectrum, from Neil Diamond to Metallica. For months at a time, he lived in hotels and buses, falling asleep in one city and waking up in the next. The strain of constant travel taught him the value of a place to call home, and ultimately led him to the next chapter of his professional life.

Charles's interest in real estate began when he invested in multiple properties. His experiences with these investments only reinforced the lessons he picked up on the road: people yearn for a home of their own, regardless of how far and how long they travel. When he finally settled in Las Vegas, Charles saw a pressing need for real estate professionals who truly understood the unique rigors of life in the entertainment industry, and he decided to launch a business designed to help meet the housing needs of its workers.

He earned his real estate license in 2008, and has worked tirelessly since then to expand his knowledge and his client base without sacrificing the impeccable customer service and professionalism that customers deserve. The pressures of balancing a full time job in the entertainment industry with the needs of his real estate clients led to the formation of the Hakans Group, with partner Erik Hakans. With Erik managing the day-to-day operations, and Chuck working with clients on evenings and weekends, the Hakans Group enabled Chuck to maintain an active presence in both the entertainment and real-estate fields.

Along with building up the Hakans Group, Charles continues to be active in the rental business, and he keeps abreast of economic trends to maintain a wide-ranging investment portfolio. When he isn't helping his clients get the most out of today's challenging real estate market, Charles enjoys traveling to exotic locations to test his fly-fishing skills.
