Frank Picone Joins RE/MAX Gold Nation!
From our recent Nevada expansion, Gold Nation is excited to introduce a new member of our community! Please welcome Frank Picone to RE/MAX Gold in the new Reno office! Frank joins us after over eleven years with Chase International Real Estate.
“I chose to join RE/MAX Gold because of their incredible manager Eric Crosby, and for the international brand recognition.” -Frank Picone
As a fourth-generation Northern Nevadan, Frank is proud to serve his community every day. Serving Reno, Sparks, and Lake Tahoe, Frank first started his real estate career in 2010. After finding himself without work as a national sales account manager at the bottom of the recession, Frank decided to take on the short sales of the housing downturn. While primarily working with investors from the Bay Area, Frank was able to get a strong foothold on his career from the very start. By the end of his first year, he closed 32 transactions and earned Rookie of the Year, and has never slowed down since!
Starting his career in 2010 was a unique time in real estate, with many challenges. The housing market had fallen out, and many in the industry struggled to say the least. Frank, however, came in and focused on short sales, helping investors find smart investments at an opportune time in the country to invest in real estate. Most of his clients came from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe and Reno to find their next investment. He enjoyed working with multi-generational families who pulled together to create a better financial life for their families through the power of real estate investments.
In a past life, Frank was a chef and attended culinary school in Arizona. He attributes his years of experience working as a chef to helping him become a successful real estate agent. His skills help him notice good kitchens and can help him guide clients to buy functional and well-designed kitchens in homes. But most importantly, he learned efficiency. He lives by the French term Mise en place (everything in its place). Just like a productive kitchen that needs its knives, dishes, and tools properly in its place for best efficiency, real estate also needs to be organized and action plans put in place for efficiency. By mastering time management and detailed orientation principles, Frank is able to use his mastered skills to help his clients have the best and most productive real estate experience. We here at Gold Nation can’t wait to taste his culinary skills!
Frank has been happily married for nine years. For the last five years, his wife has worked as Frank’s transaction coordinator and overseen his real estate marketing, making the two of them quite the duo! Together they share two young children. One of the biggest driving factors for him to be a real estate agent is to have a career that allows him to spend more time with his family, a value in the business many real estate agents cherish. Even while running a successful real estate business, Frank enjoys the time he has with his family, and the life it is able to provide for them.
We are excited to have Frank as a part of our Gold Nation community, and hope you will join us in welcoming him!
