But his life of grind changed in 2004 when he moved to LA to (問題を)取り上げる Parnes' 申し込む/申し出 of a 共同 in the realtor 商売/仕事 he was thinking of setting up.

From the start, he says, the pair 手配中の,お尋ね者 to 焦点(を合わせる) on the 'high, high end' of the market ? eschewing $600,000 sales for big-bucks mansions.

Getting the 商売/仕事 off the ground 伴う/関わるd long hours.

'We went door knocking, we 始める,決める up open houses, we connected with guys who had no idea who we were and started knocking on 所有物/資産/財産s we thought that they would buy,' Harris said.

But the hard work 結局 paid off in みごたえのある style.

'One of our first 取引,協定s was a $6 million 涙/ほころび-負かす/撃墜する which is now finished,' 公式文書,認めるs Harris, not without a slug of self-satisfaction. 'And we'll be selling [it] for $40 million probably middle of next year. It's all about having the 運動.'

But there was a flip 味方する to Harris' work ethic ? socializing. 'I (機の)カム out here with a 見通し of LA just 存在 this incredible party place,' he remembers.

'I had 無 責任/義務s at that time in my life and I thought life was all about having parties, going out all night. Every night of the week I was out. Every 選び出す/独身 night of the week.'

Boozing became the 焦点の point of his life but 会合 wife Valeria changed all that ? and Harris says he now socializes 全く sober.

'Some people I'm sure would struggle with [sobriety] but I'm out in restaurants and 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業s and nightclubs all the time,' he says.

'I love to socialize and I'm a people person. I love 存在 around people and I really don't struggle with it at all. I guess if I was without my wife, maybe I would struggle a little more.

'But she's a 広大な/多数の/重要な support for me and makes it all very 平易な. I love to go out, socialize and have fun. It doesn't need to be with alcohol, that's for sure.'

Now comfortably ensconced in a 4,000 square foot Cape Cod style new construction home with five bed rooms and a pool in the upmarket Colefax Meadows area of LA, Harris says his biggest challenge now is juggling marriage and family life with work.

'It's all about healthy balance, it really is,' he explains. 'I'm the first to 収容する/認める that it's 極端に hard but if I'm working until late one evening, the next evening, I'll make a point of making sure I'm home before they [the children] go to bed.

'I spend several hours at least with them on the 週末 on both days. Whether it's spending time with them in the pool, taking them to the 商店街, doing something we can do as a family together.

'That is so important because unfortunately, these kids don't get younger so every day you have to 心にいだく.'
