Rick Hearst, widely recognized for his role on “General Hospital,” has unveiled an intriguing aspect of his life outside of the acting world. In a recent Instagram video, Hearst revealed that he is also a real estate agent based in New Jersey.
The actor, who is currently on a brief hiatus from his role as Ric Lansing on “General Hospital,” used the opportunity to give his followers a glimpse into his life outside the soap opera. “I’ve been on break from GH for a couple of weeks now,” Hearst said in the video. “I’m heading back in a few days. I’m in Jersey, currently, New Jersey where I live. I just wanted to show folks what it looks like.”
Hearst, who hails from the East Coast, expressed his deep connection to the area. “There’s different parts of New Jersey. The part that I live in, South Central New Jersey, is a beautiful place. I also happen to be a real estate agent here. I love helping people find homes here, sell their homes here. It’s really a great lifestyle out here.”
The actor shared details about his residence, which he affectionately refers to as “the compound” due to its size. The property features a pool and expansive grass areas. “We’re very happy here. It’s very peaceful, it’s very tranquil,” Hearst noted, showing off his backyard and garden, which he revealed his mother tends to. He humorously added, “I do mow my own lawn. I know, nuts.”
Hearst also took the opportunity to promote his real estate services, encouraging viewers to reach out if they are looking to move to New Jersey or need an estimate on their current home. “So if you happen to be looking to come to New Jersey, give me a shout. I can find you a place. Or if you are in New Jersey and would like to get an estimate on your home, see what the options are available to you, I’d love to work with you as well,” he said.
Hearst, who rejoined the cast of “General Hospital” in August after an eight-year absence, has had a diverse acting career, with notable roles on “Days of Our Lives,” “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” and “The Young and the Restless.” His dual career in acting and real estate underscores his versatility and commitment to both professions.
