My Story

From the family business to Entity Realty

I grew up in the family business. My father is a CPA who also owned a real estate brokerage and title company in Miami, so I learned early how numbers, contracts, and people fit together. I was helping with tax returns as a kid and hanging around the brokerage in my teens. I loved working with people and getting out of the office.

When I moved to Los Angeles to act, real estate was meant to be a side hustle. Acting took over, and for about ten years I waited tables, tended bar, trained clients, and drove for Uber. Then a friend of mine, who was buying and selling a home with another agent, was telling me about a problem in his transaction. I jumped up and said, “I think I can help with that.” I made a few calls, found him an answer, and it worked out in his favor. He looked at me and said, “Why aren’t you doing this?” I didn’t have a good answer. I finished my license online and never looked back.

My first listing came from a friend in the entertainment community. Then, while I was still driving Uber, Rebekah and I put a real estate magnet on my car. Passengers on the way to the airport started telling me they were looking to move here. My next three transactions came from people who rode in my car, and one of them led to a $1.5 million West Hollywood duplex. A magnet turned a rideshare into a career.

I got my mortgage license after a friend was turned down by a traditional bank and then pre-approved by a broker. I realized one person who understands both the home and the loan can negotiate better and solve problems sooner. Many brokerages discourage doing both. I found it gave my clients a real edge, so I kept doing both.

After moving to Santa Clarita, my wife Rebekah and our son asked, “What do we need to do to start our own brokerage?” I called the state, studied, and drove to Fresno to pass the broker exam. In May 2022 we opened Entity Realty and Entity Mortgage. The name comes from our faith. Entity was our word for God, and it’s how we want to run the business.

Today I’m an independent broker-owner and mortgage broker licensed in California and Colorado. I’m here to give people the truth, to do my best for them, and to make a complicated process feel streamlined and seamless. Rebekah and I have always been service-oriented people. It’s what we do naturally. The best compliment I can get is a grateful client who tells me how great the experience was.
