"In a few days, I'll be returning home on a plane from Jersey, New Jersey, where I currently reside. I wanted to share with others what New Jersey looks like."

Despite being commonly perceived as mostly industrial, New Jersey has more to offer than what travelers see outside of Newark International Airport, as the actor continued to explain.

"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." — Rick Hearst

The actor from the soap opera shared with fans a sneak peek of his backyard and disclosed his upbringing on the East Coast.

He has appeared on "Days of Our Lives," "Beverly Hills, 90210," "The Young and the Restless," and "The Bold and the Beautiful" in addition to his television roles.
