George Lane, Chairman of Real Property Marketing Group, has been involved in real estate publishing since the early 1980s. He initially published a magazine promoting real estate brokers' listings to the general public in Portland, Oregon. After moving back to his native Texas to start a similar venture, the end result was Pinnacle, a high-quality magazine displaying a market area's upper-end real estate, distributed free-of-charge to that market's finest neighborhoods and eventually published for 23 regions across the United States. In the mid 1990s, he published Texas Farm & Ranch, a newsstand magazine devoted to exceptional rural real estate. It grew to encompass five additional regional magazines covering every state in the union (Rocky Mountain, America West and Midwest Farm & Ranch as well as Northeast and Southern Country Estates). He also was the creative mind behind Canvas, a magazine devoted to promoting the burgeoning art scene around the state of Texas. In 2003, he created an international publication, Residence International, with Realtor members throughout the world. He sold his interest in this publications that same year. He now has pieced together the most successful lessons learned in his publishing experience, culminating in the current American Luxury Estates, an entity co-owned by real estate brokers, granting Realtor-members sole representation for their exclusive market area, and distributed via private mail list, newsstand display and the Internet. This same intuitive publishing expertise led him to start American Luxury Estates, a regional publication whereby the country is divided into six specific market areas. Under his leadership, his publishing ventures continue to evolve, including digital magazines for the collective advertisers, private label digital magazines for individual advertisers, worldwide distribution through the Internet and an international referral network.
