April Love Raimond got her real estate license in college, became the youngest associate broker in Maryland at just 22 years old in 1993, and built a brokerage of 50 agents in Canton before most people her age knew what a commission split was. Real estate was in her blood — her parents Bob and Gloria Raimond were a renowned real estate team who raised her in the business, with everything at the dinner table being "real estate, real estate, real estate." She never planned to follow them in. Then she did, and never looked back. 🏡
The 2007 crash forced her to close her Canton office. She calls it the only logical move now — the one that pushed her to reinvent herself. She landed at Redfin, spotted agent openings in Ocean City in 2021, jumped at it, got her Delaware associate broker license, and built a thriving coastal business under her Coastal Love brand at eXp Realty.
35 years and at least 1,200 transactions later, she's also doing contract work training AI models for major West Coast tech companies in real estate-related applications. The range is unmatched.
She lives in her Rehoboth condo with six fish tanks, a rescue pup named Lulu, and the same beach community she's had for decades. "It's kind of funny, I'm living like a 25-year-old, but I love it."
This article is dedicated to her father, Bob Raimond, who passed on her 36th birthday. She considers it a date they share. 🤍
