Episode Description
In this episode of Paradyme Shift, Ryan Garland founder of Paradyme Companies sits down with Luke Still, co-founder of Desert Land Group — the firm behind The Refuge, The Foothills, Luxe Locker, and the crown jewel of Lake Havasu: Riviera. Luke walks through his journey from chief appraiser at a small-town Oregon bank to co-developing Havasu's largest master-planned community, including the wild story of how the Riviera Marina was never supposed to exist — and how 22 of the first 22 buyers signed in six weeks. Then Luke and Ryan go deep on the data: why median family income is useless for analyzing Havasu, why only 2,000 finished lots remain, how restaurant sales grew 52% in a single year, and why the boomer wealth transfer is quietly reshaping who buys and where. If you invest in real estate, this episode gives you the numbers behind the narrative.
