agle Real Estate and Property Management, Inc. is more than a full-service real estate company located in Riverside. It is also a family-owned company, run by father-and-son team LaVern C. Slusher Sr. and LaVern C. Slusher II. These broker/owners share the same high integrity and professionalism that has made their family name synonymous with real estate excellence in the Inland Empire for more than 30 years.

And while their family and professional values are what bring their clients back year after year and prompt their numerous referrals, father and son each bring unique attributes to the family business that enhance their

clients’ real estate experience.

LaVern Sr. decided to become a real estate professional after he and his wife, Linda, had a challenging experience renting out their first home. In the wake of a complicated tenant eviction, LaVern Sr. got his license so he would “know how to navigate the legal obstacles to managing properties. After getting our property rented out to a tenant that actually paid the rent, I thought we could use that experience and knowledge to help other landlords avoid going through the same mistakes and frustration we had already gone through.”

LaVern II joined his father in the business nearly a decade ago, bringing with him a bachelor’s degree in computer systems from Cal State University, San Bernardino. “I absolutely believe my coursework in computers has equated to offering more up-to-date tools to clients in an incredibly competitive market,” he says. “But real estate is always going to be a people business, so I like to combine the functionality of technology as well as personality when talking to clients and agents.”

Eagle Real Estate offers clients a more personalized real estate experience, whether they are buying or selling a private residence, investing in or needing someone to manage their income property. “On the property management as well as the real estate side, being a family company means we never have to go to corporate for approval,” LaVern II says. “We can adapt to our clients’ needs as we see fit. We always use our due diligence with every client we have, and they get the benefits of having two brokers helping to find

solutions to problems that usually come up with real estate transactions. Together, we offer experience plus a great understanding of technology.”

“We are very diligent in keeping our operating costs and overhead low,” LaVern Sr. adds. “so we can pass the savings on to our clients. As a result, we are able to offer lower commissions and management fees without sacrificing any services to our clients. While most property management companies charge an 8 to 10 percent fee, we charge a flat fee $100.00.”

The company’s management model is all-inclusive, covering marketing, tenant placement, lease agreements and extensions, maintenance oversight and more — resulting in higher tenant retention, lower vacancy and higher profits. Eagle Real Estate uses C.A.R. forms for all contracts. Good management doesn’t cost, it pays!

Eagle Real Estate & Property Management Inc. It is only natural that many clients who have trusted this team to manage their rental properties turn to them when it’s time to buy or sell real estate. Once again, clients benefit by receiving experienced representation with no hidden fees or exclusivity agreements.

Always displaying the transparency that leads to trust, father and son work almost entirely by referrals generated inside their community of satisfied clients. Past clients describe these professionals with words like “honest and genuine” and “hardworking.” One client said, “I worked with LaVern for a little over a year, and

he is definitely your go-to guy! LaVern is a really hard worker! He has a great work ethic, and I know he will do a fabulous job at finding the right house for whoever is looking!”

“We treat each client as a person, not an account, and we take a personal interest in our clients and what their goals are,” LaVern Sr. says. “One of the most rewarding aspects of our business is when a past or current client is satisfied with our services they’ll refer an associate, friend or family member to us. We are extremely grateful for all the referrals we have gotten through the years.”

This family business would not be complete without wife and mom Linda, who supports the team as office director. She has been working alongside Lavern Sr. right from the beginning, when their real estate business was a single rental property managed from their home office. “She’s the unsung hero,” he says. “She’s the one that keeps everything running smoothly, without her, we couldn’t do what we do every day.”

If you’re looking for real estate representation in the Inland Empire, know that this family-owned firm will go the extra mile to earn your business. “We work hard for what is in our clients’ best interests and are very honest in telling people what they can expect from start to finish,” Lavern II says. “It makes us feel fulfilled being part of another family’s journey.”

LaVern Sr. and Linda have been married for 36 years.

They have four children — two girls and two boys.

LaVern Sr. says their grandchildren are now the great joys of their lives. “Never take your family for granted,” he says, “and always make sure to let them know how much they mean to you.” Outside of real estate, the Slusher family enjoys playing music together. “I have grown up in music and playing guitar. My wife plays drums, my oldest son is an exceptional drummer and my oldest daughter is an incredible singer and bass player. We have had some really fun family get togethers.”
