Young broker’s career a wild ride

Young broker’s career a wild ride

Still shy of his 30th birthday, broker Clint Conway has already gone through business undulations many don’t experience in an entire career.

But in the wake of his work last month on the $65 million sale of the Hyatt Sarasota to giant equity firm the Blackstone Group, Conway is hoping he — and his nascent real estate ambitions — are on a sustained uptick.

“It’s not the money that comes from doing big deals that motivates me,” said the 29-year-old RealtyOne Florida agent. “It’s the feeling of personal success, of persistence paying off, of the ups and downs of real estate. I feel like everything’s starting to come together.”

It was not always that way.
