〰️ Additional or interesting information about you: I grew up in the Bay Area and started in High tech but really didnt love it, then switched to Real estate selling mostly San Jose, Willow Glen, Los Gatos areas and did pretty well. Divorce brought me to Capitola after a couple years and I literally started over and didn’t know anyone in Santa Cruz county. I was doing pretty well til the market of 2006 crashed and, rather then move back to hi-tech, I bartended and even got a job at Trader Joe’s in Capitola and only sold a couple homes a year til it got better. I got some of my best clients at those jobs & have no regrets. When my boss at TJ’s caught me doing deals on my phone in the bathroom, he told me I should just quit and focus on Real Estate. Lol
