The Story of the Clark Real Estate Brothers

Cork and Rick Clark grew up in Reno, Nevada, watching their father build and invest in real estate. They felt fortunate to not only enjoy the direct benefits but also have the opportunity to learn about real estate investing from an early age.

"He paved the way and showed us the financial rewards," Rick shares. "Pops taught us the importance of a strong work ethic. If you want to be successful, you need to be on the job every day."

The Clark family motto--if you are going to reach a particular goal, you MUST be consistent by being on the job and working diligently every day—helped the brothers navigate the challenges of the 2008 market crash and led their property management company into record-breaking growth and momentum.

Today, Cork and Rick have used their deep knowledge of real estate, expertise in construction, and their relentless drive to build Clark Real Estate to over 900+ doors (households) under management.

Their favorite part of managing properties and real estate investments is that every day is different—every project is different, every house is different. They get to problem-solve daily, whether from the office or out at a construction site. Their father and uncle, now in their 80s, modeled how to successfully work as brothers, and they have enjoyed working as a team ever since. "Knowing somebody's got my back and that we have the same goals is the best part about working with my brother," Cork says. Rick is the second of seven children, and Cork is the younger brother as the fifth child.

The Clark brothers got started in real estate investing and property management through the construction industry. They have been in the construction industry since they were teenagers. With their construction experience, "we could visualize firsthand all the possibilities," Rick says.

"We would look for the biggest problem property in a neighborhood," Rick remembers. "We would make offers on properties that weren't even for sale." It wasn't long before the brothers had a handful of renovated properties that needed management. This led them to start a property management company, eventually taking on leasing and maintenance for other real estate investors.

"No one knows the community better than we do. We're lifers," Rick smiles.

"We're hands-on. We've started from the ground up. There are very few aspects of the real estate and investing game that we have not experienced firsthand," adds Cork.
