From college roommates at Quinnipiac to co-founders of a thriving Texas-based real estate company, Bobby Tyson and Loren Barron join Pucks to Properties to share how blind faith, hustle, and a few Craigslist deals laid the foundation for Eastwood Realty.
In this episode, they walk us through their early days — from flipping furniture and living in a warehouse, to building custom homes, cold-calling prospects, and eventually growing a diverse real estate portfolio across development, brokerage, and property management. With no formal background and everything on the line (including their wedding funds), Bobby and Loren built a business rooted in resilience, shared vision, and a relentless work ethic learned on the ice.
They also break down how they’ve tapped into the hockey community for networking, talent, and even future investment opportunities — proving that life after hockey can be just as dynamic and fulfilling as life on the rink.
