After purchasing his first brownstone in 1995, author, real estate broker, and investor Carl Agard experienced first hand the enormous wealth building results of real estate investing and never looked back. A licensed Real Estate Broker in two states (New York and Georgia), Carl has been investing and selling real estate for over a decade.

Carl started out growing up in the rough environments of the NYC Housing projects. He earned a scholarship to attend Syracuse University and while on campus, started his entrepreneurial trail. Upon graduation, he was a successful party promoter and a top salesman for various Fortune 500 Companies. He went full fledged into a career of Real Estate after being laid off his six figure sales job and realized that he wanted to control his own destiny while empowering his community. Carl realized through his experiences in Real Estate that information was not being shared in the African American community, and that they are missing numerous opportunities of wealth.

Carl took over a year to compile Getting the Real out of Real Estate to help address this void of information especially for the Hip Hop Generation who are now becoming an older and prosperous demographic. He has just released Getting the Real out of Real Estate (Second Edition) as a follow up to his hugely successful first book. Carl will be releasing more books in the immediate future which will be targeting wealth building for the African American community.

   -  Getting the Real out of Starting a Business (Building Wealth through Entrepreneurship)
   -  Getting the Real out of Improving your Credit (Building Wealth by Eliminating Debt)

Carl is available to write and contribute information on various topics relating to Real Estate and Entrepreneurship by request. He has been featured in several publications such as Rolling Out, Investor 2 Investor, Upscale, and Moves Magazines. He has written for numerous online websites such as Blacknews.com and Univision.com.

Born in New Bern, North Carolina, Jackson's family relocated to Brooklyn, N.Y. as a child. Jackson started his remarkable career at the famed Boys High, leading his team to the city championship. He became a legend at the Rucker Tournament in the 60's playing against future Hall of Famers like Wilt Chamberlain. His Brooklyn All Star team at the Rucker included his childhood friend Connie Hawkins. At Virginia Union, the 6-5 center earned the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association's Freshman of the Year award. After graduating, Jackson was the 41st pick in the 1962 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia Warriors. Instead of joining the NBA, Jackson played for the world famous Harlem Globetrotters. He played one season with the team in 1963, before being drafted into the Army. In 1966, Jackson returned to the Globetrotters where he played for 15 seasons until 1981.

Jackson was honored on Feb. 9, 2003 at the Harlem Globetrotters game at Madison Square Garden and inducted into their Hall of Fame. He is also a member of Virginia Union and The Rucker Tournament Hall of Fames.

Jumpin' Jackie Jackson is currently enjoying his retirement residing in Brooklyn, N. Y. running his non-profit organization BALL 4 LIFE, and teaching his grandsons basketball in Atlanta. Jackson's autobiography "The Legend of Jackie Jackson" will be published in 2008.
