Jumping out of a helicopter 4,000 feet in the air and landing on a beach? Just an average day for La Jolla real estate agent Josh Higgins.
\nSkydiving is just a side gig for the Army veteran who spent more than 15 years in the real\u00a0estate industry before moving his brokerage to Compass last year. He started jumping during his service and went on to make over 4,000 jumps, many of which became future real estate clients.\u00a0
\n“It\u2019s my version of the golf course,” he joked.\u00a0
\nSo it comes as no surprise that Higgins would help commemorate Compass Real Estate\u2019s one-year anniversary on Feb. 6 by skydiving during CEO Robert Reffkin\u2019s speech, without him knowing. During the lunch portion of the event, Higgins was sitting at a table with Reffkin went he excused himself.\u00a0
\n“I was like\u00a0\u2018Robert, I got a meeting. I have to go but I\u2019ll see you later today,\u2019\u2019\u00a0he said.\u00a0“And there was a look in his eyes like\u00a0\u2018Dude, you\u2019re having lunch with the CEO. What are you doing?\u2019”
\nThe surprise continued when Higgins landed on the beach in\u00a0front to Caroline\u2019s Cafe while Reffkin was mid-speech.\u00a0
\n“He gave me a big hug. He was so surprised.”\u00a0
