Owning a Real Estate Investment and Interior Design Company

The Rediscover State College Podcast

Josh and Lizzie Parra’s cool job in State College: owners and founders of Parra Design & Build, a real estate investment and interior design company.

Josh and Lizzie Parra met while serving at Champs on North Atherton, and promptly moved to Boston once Lizzie graduated from Penn State. They started a petcare business and began their real estate journey while in Boston, falling in love with being their own bosses. Once they had their first child, they found themselves moving back to State College to be closer to family, bringing their modern and urban-influenced home design style with them to launch Parra Design & Build.

In this episode, Josh and Lizzie talk about how they developed a passion for homes and interior design, the real estate market in State College, and their unique and thriving AirBnB business.

Make sure you stick around through the end of the episode - we'll enter our segment called "How to Do the Thing," where Josh and Lizzie will give you three actionable steps you can take towards successfully working in real estate and interior design in State College.
