Growing up in the business, Paul Julian has been immersed in real estate since a young age. In high school and college, he spent his summers working for Advanced Real Estate Services, Inc., the firm his father, Richard Julian, co-founded in 1982. During this time, he gained experience in all facets of the business from construction and property management to asset management, acquisitions and development. By age 19, he obtained his real estate salesperson license and by 23, his broker license.
