Common interview questions:

Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent? There is nothing better than a satisfied client. Real estate is one of those professions where you know whether or not you've made a difference for someone right away. I enjoy introducing our coastal area to new residents and visitors, and I love helping people fulfill a dream.

What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional? Expectations. They are rarely in line with the realities of the market. There is so much media coverage on real estate these days. And all too often, the stories are irrelevant to the buyers/sellers in my area. Real estate markets are local in nature. I provide my clients with news and local market statistics that pertain to them.

Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession. The years following Hurricane Ike were interesting to say the least. It was the first time a storm of that magnitude with that kind of destruction hit the island since 1900. At the same time, the mortgage industry imploded with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the country was in the early stages of a recession. What followed was a very unpredictable market for several years. It was an experience I don't think I will ever forget.

With a deep understanding of market trends, property values, and legal intricacies, I guide clients through seamless real estate experiences.

My communication skills and proficiency in Spanish and English has helped me to build strong relations with each one of my customers, being able to guide people from different background toward their expected results. Whether it's navigating complex transactions, showcasing properties through innovative marketing, or providing timely communication, I thrive on exceeding expectations in a dynamic and ever-evolving market.

About Me:

Originally from Michigan, I lived in San Diego for ten years after graduating college until my wife and I moved to Texas to be closer to her family. Prior to real estate, I earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. As a real estate broker, my mission is to introduce buyers to a community where they feel a connection, and help sellers with the sale of their home so that they can experience a smooth transition into the home that best accommodates their current needs and situation.

Stemming from my desire to interact with people in a challenging career, business endeavors range from the telecommunications industry where I held positions in management, to working with my family's beach rental business.

After recognizing the potential in the vacation home business, I earned my real estate license in order to take a more active role in the family business, as well as expand my own business into residential sales.

Determined, hardworking, knowledgeable, and adaptable are a few of the characteristics that attribute to my success. However, my incomparable strength is attention to detail, which is an instrumental component in every phase of the real estate transaction. Furthermore, I emphasize the importance of communication, which is paramount to delivering exemplary customer service. I listen to clients' needs and wants, educate them throughout the process, and keep them informed every step of the way, even if there are no updates available.

Real Estate has been a long time passion. It all started working as an international sales manager for the InterContinental Hotel. Exceptional customer service and making clients feel comfortable was the main objective. He loved to hear the clients' needs and goals and have the right match among the different services. His goal became to one day be part of the Real Estate industry. After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering in Panama, Ivan decided to move to Frankfurt, Germany where he resided for three years pursuing his passion and then to Houston, TX where he has spent over ten years. Having relocated twice, living diversity, and widening multiculturalism makes him understand your needs in such critical transitional times.
