In this episode, we sit down with Chris Clark to trace his journey from aviation to real estate, and eventually into the world of land investing. Chris shares how his love for surfing took him across the globe, how 9/11 shifted his career as a pilot, and how a chance mentorship opened the door to real estate development and asset management.

We dive into his experiences through the Great Recession, managing foreclosed properties for big banks, and discovering the opportunities that led him to land investing. Chris breaks down the early challenges of selling land online, the power of building the right website, and how digital tools reshaped his business model. He also reflects on lessons learned from note portfolios, balancing cash sales with financing, and why larger deals can help reduce costs and stress.

He shares his vision for creating a trusted marketplace and explains how technology is changing the way land is bought and sold. From personal growth to practical strategies, Chris’s story is filled with insights for anyone looking to succeed in real estate and beyond.
