This post is for anyone who still questions whether someone like me can successfully own and operate a real estate brokerage.

Yes, I’m aware that I don’t fit the stereotype some people expect. The stereotype of who looks “important enough,” “impressive enough,” or “worthy enough” to lead a brokerage filled with accomplished agents.

And I’m perfectly fine with that.

I choose not to flaunt statistics or chase public recognition. Much of my work involves investor-driven, off-market transactions, deals that never appear on traditional MLS platforms or consumer real estate websites. That means many of our successful closings go unseen by the public. But across California, I’ve helped investors complete some of the smoothest, most efficient transactions they’ve ever experienced.

I’ve been a REALTOR® since 1989. I don’t need visibility to validate my work. I don’t need applause. What matters to me is operating with integrity and delivering exceptional service.

My business is built almost entirely on referrals, and I prefer it that way. When a satisfied client entrusts me with their family, friends, or colleagues, I consider that a true honor. Referrals eliminate the need for performance theater. The trust is already established, and the mission becomes clear: deliver excellence, every time.

My team at Bertrand Realty upholds the same standards. We take pride in serving our clients with professionalism, consistency, and care, always striving to exceed expectations.

If you’re looking for a reliable real estate agent in California, or anywhere in the United States, contact Bertrand Realty. Whether you work directly with our brokerage or with someone in our trusted national network, you can be confident you’ll be in the hands of someone extraordinary.
