Our History:
Realty411 was created as a complimentary print and digital online magazine. The media company is owned and operated by a family of entrepreneurs and real estate investors based in Southern California with more than 40 years of combined investing experience.
Realty411 was created in 2007 by Linda Pliagas, who is the Publisher/CEO. It is the ORIGINAL realty investor magazine.
Linda and her husband Nikolaos K. Pliagas, who is her real estate partner, have owned rental properties in five states and been mortgage-free since Linda was in her late 30s.
Education and Experience in Both Industries
Linda Pliagas has studied and worked in both media and real estate for nearly 25 years. Linda holds a bachelor’s degree in print journalism from California State University, Long Beach. She was a recipient of the Bobit Magazine Scholarship for her accomplishment in publishing her first national magazine while still a student at CSULB.
She began her realty career 17 years ago as a broker’s assistant to a young broker who became a multimillionaire by age 29 fixing and flipping homes. When they worked together, he was a seminar devotee and took educational training around the nation with some of the greatest masters in the industry.
She kept a close ear to his teachings, obtained her real estate license, and began to focus more on the investing side of the real estate industry. Soon, Linda began to help her family, friends and colleagues also invest in rental properties, particularly out of state.
Linda has been a licensed real estate agent for over 17 years, although she currently is not an active agent because operating Realty411, and serving their many sponsors and clients takes up all of her time.
A journalist since the age of 18, Linda Pliagas has also worked and freelanced for numerous national magazines, local newspapers and online news websites.
