Let me introduce to you Jose Rodriguez, a young man with high ambitions. Jose contacted me to get some questions answered about real estate. We spoke for over an hour. I told him everything I knew and got off the phone thinking “He is on the right track”. Honestly, I don’t know who benefited from our conversation more, the 54 year old me or the 19 year Jose.
I’m a 19 year old kid that’s has grown up all his life in this beautiful city of West Sacramento. There is no place like home. I’m a very humble, hardworking kid that has always loved helping his people and his community. I love being active going on runs, going to one of our local gyms & of course eating at delicious restaurants. Throughout my years of life I’ve always wondered what my next step in life will be and I’m happy to say I believe I’ve found what that step might be and all I can say is “I’m going all out for it” Chasing my dreams and making them become reality, nothing is going to stop me because I’m more driven then ever. Anything is possible with some hard work, dedication and lots of heart.

I come from an immigrant family who migrated from Mexico at just the age of 10 years old. My Dad coming to the United States all alone at just 10 years of age looking for a new start, better opportunities, and a better future not just for himself but for his family. My mother as well an immigrant coming from Mexico to the United States at age 17. 20 years later they’ve established having great jobs, lots of knowledge and experience.
