I’ve always dreamed of impacting the world and changing lives one at a time. I’ve stayed a student of personal growth and development. Because I believe it has the power to change us individually, connect communities and transform the world one mind at a time. You see, my passion in life is growing and equipping others to do remarkable things and lead significant and fulfilled lives. There’s no greater mission for me. There’s no higher goal than to help others realize their significance and potential. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to being a leader within the Real Estate Industry. I love my career where I get to represent amazing clients in the sale of their property, the new purchase of a home or educate clients on building wealth though investing in Real Estate. I am the Operating Principle for a Real Estate Brokerage for the Number #1 Real Estate Organization in the world ( Keller Williams Realty The Lakes), where I get to lead Realtors into achieving great success though real estate sales. Want to work with one of the BEST Realtors in the nation ??? Hire me to be your personal Realtor, I would love to meet with you at no obligation ( go to meetupwithSofia.com) Looking for a new brokerage? Or for a career in Real Estate? I am always hiring both salaried and commission only positions. My Professional Background
I started my Real Estate Career in 2001, after working for 6 years in the sales, telemarketing, and sales training. In 2001, I became a mortgage loan officer and thrived for 9 years, closing over 1,100 loans. This ranked me in the top 1% of mortgage originators in the nation. I believe my sales and mortgage experience give me a huge advantage as a Real Estate Broker and Realtor. I became a full time Realtor in 2011 and have thrived ever since, I sell an average of 75-100 homes a year. I am an international speaker ( so fun) and leader in my industry. I have sold over $200,000,000 in Real Estate Sales and have served hundreds of clients personally. I have successfully launched several Real Estate Businesses including KW Costa Mesa, KW The Lakes, Laguna Property Management, Lago Escrow, Empower Real Estate School and Chacon Realty Partners. My Personal Background: I am the first U.S. born American Citizen in my family, my parents immigrated to California from Zacatecas Mexico. I am the eldest of 5 Children, and was raised in a very loving home. My dad retired as a humble Crane Operator and my mother was a stay at home mom. I sure know how to stretch a dollar. LOL :) My parents raised us with a very modest income, so material things, eating out were not part of my life. Instead I learned to enjoy life by putting God first, spending time with family and creating memories. I was raised with the best work ethic, high values of integrity and was taught the importance of being honest and always keeping my word. My greatest personal accomplishment is being a mother. I am the proud “mama” of Jay, my amazing daughter that today leads our family business as CEO, she is also a decorated Navy Veteran and super cool and amazing human being. My son Stephen is a Straight A student at an all boys high school. He’s kind, loving and super intelligent. I also have a fur baby named Bella. In my free time I love to travel, hike, read, listen to podcasts, spend time with my family, dance and cook. I also love singing along to songs. ( being off beat, and not knowing the lyrics doesn’t stop me) LOL :) I am excited to meet you. Reach out :)
