Russell Quick is an accountant by education starting his post college profession as an industrial accountant. After eight years as an industrial accountant he had the desire to use his financial analytical skills in the investment arena choosing to become a Realtor.

Going to work for a major Louisville real estate company he began his real estate career in residential sales, being the number one representative in the company within three years. After selling residential property for six years it seemed that he was not attaining his career choice of the investment real estate field.

In 1978 Mr. Quick started his own firm, Russell Quick Co., Inc. dba Russell Quick Realtors. Within two years he employed some 30 agents, mostly residential, but he was able to make his move into the commercial investment field. In the early 1980's, management was beginning to take too much of his time and he closed the residential business completely and went solely to the commercial investment field. From that time until 1995 he specialized in representing investors in the purchase of office buildings, shopping centers, apartments and other types of investment properties.
