Family is the business.
All the salespeople are part of the Bethea kin. Bethea, who was licensed in 1967, worked for other firms until forming Realty House in 1970 with two partners. At one time, when they worked heavily in the condominium market, they had as many as 30 people working for them. In the ensuing years, Bethea bought out his partners and by 1985, opted to work exclusively with commercial properties. She and Basil III, the couple's oldest son, received their real estate licenses at the same time in 1980.
