In 1968, a small group of investment specialists led by Art Turner and Woody Johnson formed the Investment Division of the East Orange County Board of Realtors to share ideas and cooperate in marketing investment properties. Today, RIAOC members come from several Southern California counties, where our motto is "Success Through Cooperation".

The Association provides for the dissemination of information regarding investment real estate and business opportunities. We also provide education through financial, legal, legislative, and technological updates, courses, and seminars on investment real estate and related subjects. We promote cooperation among real estate agents, maintain high standards of conduct and professionalism, and protect individual rights of real estate investment and property ownership.
