Larry Linaweaver retired from his State of Delaware job on a Friday and started a real estate course the following Monday. At 55. That's all you need to know about this guy. ๐ช
Before real estate, Larry served in the Air Force as a Loadmaster flying a C-5 โ a plane capable of carrying two M1 Abrams tanks or 24 Humvees. He flew missions in Grenada, Somalia, Panama, Desert Storm, and Desert Shield. Occasionally, he'd sit in the Commander-in-Chief's seat when transporting the President's vehicle. Not a bad career before a career.
Now at 67, Larry is with Iron Valley Real Estate as part of the Luxe Property Group in Rehoboth โ a team of eight like-minded people, three of them retired military, including his daughter Britany. In 2025, they closed 87 units and $37 million in sales volume.
Beyond real estate, Larry serves as President of the Board of Directors for People's Place, a nonprofit helping veterans, domestic violence victims, and displaced families find housing and independence. He's also a grandfather of three, a music festival regular, a self-improvement reader, and the proud owner of two miniature dachshund puppies keeping him busier than ever.
Australia is still on the bucket list. Everything else is being squeezed in. ๐
