Realty411 Magazine is a free print and online resource guide developed to assist investors in the acquisition, management, and growth of their real estate portfolios. Realty411 is an advocate for education, and some of the greatest Masters of Real Estate are featured in our publication.  

Our History:

Published by a group of investors with more than 30 years of investing experience, Realty411 is a free print and digital online magazine.

Realty411 was founded in 2007 by Linda Pliagas, who is the Publisher.  Linda and her husband Nikolaos K. Pliagas, who is her real estate partner, have owned rental properties in five states and have been housing providers for over 20 years in California.

Education and Experience in Both Industries

Linda Pliagas has studied and worked in both media and real estate for nearly 25 years. Linda holds a bachelor’s degree in print journalism from California State University, Long Beach. She was a recipient of the Bobit Magazine Scholarship for her accomplishment in publishing her first national magazine while still at CSULB in 1993.

She began her realty career 12 years ago as a broker’s assistant to a young broker who became a multimillionaire by age 29 fixing and flipping homes. When they worked together, he was a seminar devotee and took educational training around the nation with some of the greatest masters in the industry. She kept a close ear to his teachings, obtained her real estate license, and began to focus more on the investing side of the real estate industry. Soon, Linda began to help her family, friends and colleagues also invest in rental properties, particularly out of state. Linda has been a licensed real estate agent for over 13 years, although she currently is not an active agent because Realty411, and her collection of publications, is her first priority.

A journalist since the age of 18, Linda Pliagas has also worked and freelanced for numerous national magazines, local newspapers and online news websites.
