We were sitting at a table overlooking the Mediterranean, the French Riviera sun dancing on the water, gratefully reflecting on the lives we’d built in the real estate industry. It’s a memory I return to now that John Aaroe is gone. At that moment, surrounded by the people we cared about, John wasn’t a “power broker” — he was just a man deeply in love with real estate and the people. John Aaroe was a rare breed in Beverly Hills. In an industry often defined by “takers,” John was a relentless giver.
