Born and raised in San Gabriel, California, Tony's journey began in the charming city of West Covina. From an early age, he developed a knack for sales, honing his skills, and building connections with people. By the age of 15, Tony had already embarked on his sales career, which would shape his future path.

 

Initially, Tony explored the fitness industry, taking on roles such as Sales Manager and District Manager. However, his true passion lay in sales itself, where he found his natural calling. The fitness industry served as a valuable training ground however, allowing Tony to cultivate essential communication skills and establish meaningful relationships with others. “That allowed me to have a great rapport with people, and learn communication skills and connect with people,” he reflects.

 

As Tony progressed in his career, he recognized the transformative power of mentorship and coaching. Seeking guidance from experienced professionals, he witnessed a significant change in his business approach and results. This pivotal realization fueled his entrepreneurial spirit, leading him to establish three successful real estate companies.

This foundation provides aspiring professionals with a solid understanding of the art of building rapport along with communication skills, and equips them with invaluable skills to thrive in the competitive real estate landscape.
