The Clegg name has been synonymous with professional and innovative real estate service ever since 1962, when Elizabeth Nash Clegg sold her first house in Marlborough Ct. and with her husband, opened a real estate company, The Howard B. Clegg Agency.
The area's first Realtor agency prospered and soon moved from its converted garage at the Clegg family home on School Drive to the in-town landmark four-corners location where son Rick began his career at age 18 in 1975.
After working with his family between semesters at the University of Miami and receiving a bachelor's degree in finance, Rick Clegg opened Sherlock Home Finders in Jupiter, Florida in 1982. That same year, the Clegg family winter home in Tequesta since 1976 became their permanent home as Rick's father sold Clegg Realty in Connecticut to join forces with son Rick in Jupiter.
Since its inception as Jupiter, Florida's first real estate company specializing in rentals and property management, Sherlock Home Finders has prospered and evolved into a full service real estate company. In 2001 Rick acquired the Weichert Realtors franchise for Jupiter and in 2002, on its 20th anniversary, Sherlock Home Finders officially became the first Weichert Realtors franchise in the country.
