Aj Osborne is a freedom fighter. He thought he’d achieved the most life had to offer; He was a well-paid benefits consultant making good money. He had a great house and controlled his own time. Aj thought I had beat the 9-5. Unfortunately, that wasn’t true. He was stuck on a treadmill just the same as everyone else. If Aj stopped running the money stopped coming in. Every time he lost a client, he’d have to run hard to replace them or he’d lose that income. The only difference between Aj and anyone else is that he had more bosses!
Frustrated, Aj set out to change this and do things different than he’d done before. He learned all he could and presented to his business partner that they should completely change what they were doing that had gotten them to that point. Despite this being a complete 180 degree turn for them, he was on board.
The result was building a real estate portfolio worth over 100 million today that they own. “It can never fire us and always pays us whether we work or not”. This move ended up being more important than Aj could have ever imagined.
Shortly after the birth of Aj’s 4th child, he became paralyzed from head to toe. Aj was unexpectedly struck with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain Barre Syndrome. He was on life support for months unable to move, eat, or breath.
But, because of the changes Aj and his partner made to cash flowing assets, money kept coming in to support their family.
After Aj was finally able to leave the hospital in a wheelchair, he was able to focus on getting better. Aj literally had to learn to walk all over again. Aj and his wife, Tessa, never worried about losing their house or paying their bills. She could stay home and take care of him and their four children. They had the freedom to heal.
Cash flowing assets literally saved Aj’s family. Now, he wants to share his story to help others achieve financial freedom in their lives.

Plus so much more!
As an agent who's an expert in this local area, Shawn brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate. Shawn has over 8 years of real estate experience. With a background in real estate appraising and an MBA from Villanova University, he takes pride in exhibiting professionalism and integrity in every facet of the industry. He has built a real estate team around this philosophy and maintains high standards of performance to ensure his client's objectives are met and results are obtained.
Driven by his long held belief that there’s “no glory in mediocrity,” Josh Painter found himself at a powerful crossroads in mid-2008. Though he had established himself as a successful loan originator in his longtime hometown of Temecula, California – South Riverside County’s premier winemaking region – he realized that he was earning a fraction of what the real estate agents he worked with made on any given deal while doing three times as much work.
When he decided to bring his license to the local Keller Williams office, he was broke and behind on his rent and car payment. He had $60 to his name. Painter held an open house the next day and immediately wrote a client’s offer on the property – and by the end of the year, he was closing a handful of deals a month, debt free and engaged in an exciting new career that would change the course of his life.
Beyond his engaging personality and dedication to the needs of his clients, one of the main reasons Painter has risen so far so quickly is the fact that he is deeply passionate about and connected to his home city Temecula, where he and his wife live in the Morgan Valley community of Redhawk. Having lived there his whole adult life, he understands the multitude of reasons people (and an increasingly younger family demographic) gravitate to the area.
He has raised his family there, and when he’s not working for his clients, he enjoys entertaining friends and family in his backyard, playing drums in several rock bands, playing golf on one of the region’s renowned courses or enjoying the beauty of the local wineries. He also hosts Impact Club, an organization that donates over $80,000 per year to local charities.

When Ron started his career as a Realtor in 1991, he knew this career was more than just about selling properties. This career was about helping families make a home for themselves. Ron knew that real estate was not just about the transaction; it was about building relationships. And he knew that he wanted to build a business based on this principle.
Just as the population of Victoria has thrived since 1991, so has the real estate market. Ron knew it was important to stay ahead of the curve, and focusing on the customer service experience was the best way to build a solid, trustworthy reputation. He prioritized creating systems within my organization that would allow them to serve their customers more efficiently. By being more organized, they can focus more attention to listening and responding to the needs of their customers.
Ron has also been dedicated to developing innovative ways to market their customers’ homes. He understood early on that buying a home is the biggest purchase any of us will likely ever make, and they want to see right away the value and quality of our potential investment. His firm was among the first real estate brokerages to consistently showcase homes with professional photography, virtual reality tours, and complementary staging consultations.
Being a father of two active boys, and a coach and hockey player, Ron saw how lucky they are to live in such a vibrant family-oriented community. He wanted to build a business that dedicated to serving not just his customers, but the community in which they live, work and play.
Ron believes it has been his on-going dedication to excellence, innovation, empathy, leadership and generosity that has enabled him to attract a team of professionals who are inspired to uphold his original vision. Every member of the Neal Estate Team is a partner in their success, and they continue to grow because they are united in their commitment to serve their customers and their community, and in their commitment to be better at what they do every single day.
Ron is immensely proud that they have helped over 4000 families to make their homes in Victoria, and they are all excited to help many more in the years to come.

Plus so much more!
Tim Rhode, the creative force behind 1lifefullylived.org is a rare individual who “walks the walk” of what he teaches. Tim came from a very humble background, growing up in a blue collar family in a blue collar town. Although he barely graduated high school and never attended any college, Tim went on to dream, plan, and create his own “magnificent life.” He grew up as the 3rd of four kids of a teacher, Raymond Rhode and a stay-at-home mom, Patti Compton. Raymond was an excellent teacher, but not always wise with his finances.
Ray’s tight financial situation left an indelible mark on Tim and he strived to make a better life for his family. After a slow start in life (he was a grocery clerk until 25), Tim sold real estate for approximately 18 years – and sold over 2,500 homes in that period. Every year as Tim’s income continued to grow, he lived “small” and saved and invested his income and reinvested his profits. Tim lived as if he was still making a grocery clerk’s salary. Over time, he has also bought and sold hundreds of properties for himself. Some he fixed and sold for a profit; others he kept as rental properties which he either sold or exchanged into the 2005 Real Estate craze. He now owns many commercial real estate properties and real estate notes that provide passive income which allow Tim to follow his passions. These include mentoring young folks on creating a great life, as well as skiing, hiking, mountain biking, etc. Tim lives in an incredibly “inspiring” setting in his “castle in the sky” tucked into a mountain north of Lake Tahoe, CA. (Portola, Plumas County) with his lovely wife Tina, and has three wonderful children Chris, Sarah, and Andy. The older kids are in their mid-20s and are out of the house, totally self-sufficient, creating their own “magnificent futures.” The youngest child is still in high school being mentored daily on the same things Tim is teaching here.
Having gotten off to a slow start in life, and then finding his way to such a great life, has inspired Tim to help others find their own paths earlier in life. Tim is totally committed to helping kids plan their future, as well as becoming a force to help change the ways children are taught in our schools. Tim understands he has lived a blessed life and wants to spend his senior years helping young folks (of all ages) dream, plan and implement their own “magnificent future.”
