Career Paths: A Career in Real Estate

In this episode of The Apple One Podcast’s Career Paths series, host Brett Howroyd chats with Adam Nourafchan, co-founder of Lunada Rose Partners, a real estate investment firm focused on properties across Southern California and the Sunbelt. Adam shares how real estate offers career paths for all kinds of skill sets — whether you’re into numbers, creativity, or building connections. From development to property management and finance, there’s a role for everyone in this dynamic industry.

Adam opens up about his journey, from joining his family’s real estate business to working in private equity and back again. He advises anyone looking to break into the field to network, learn the industry, and remember, “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” Technology is reshaping real estate, too, but Adam emphasizes the importance of relationships and local expertise in this people-driven business.
