E A “My aim is to provide my clients with the highest level of representation and care that I can.” - Gaetano Lo Grande An entrepreneurial spirit and a keen sense of business have long driven Gaetano Lo Grande in his professional endeavors. His creativity and adaptability have facilitated success, and he utilizes a results-oriented approach to accomplish his objectives and his clients’ goals. As a real estate consultant he offers skillful and thoughtful representation designed around the unique needs of each customer. Gaetano’s diligence and vision propelled him to early success; after graduating from California State University, Fullerton he launched a mobile notary service that exploded from a local start-up to a $1.5 million company with a nationwide presence. After nearly a decade, Gaetano determined that the time was right for a new venture. Already well-versed in the business of residential real estate, he transitioned into the field in 2008. In a competitive marketplace, Gaetano’s ingenuity has helped him to become a standout agent with notable performance. Even before earning his license, he identified an innovative opportunity to capture leads. His system was so successful, he recalls, that within a few weeks of earning his license, he had a home in escrow. “The key to business is simply to never stop working,” he explains. “I started off strong and didn’t stop.” Today Gaetano’s business continues to thrive thanks to his dedicated efforts and big-picture plan. As a member of <strong>Agent</strong> Alliance he operates an independent business backed by the support of a team of industry specialists. “It’s a new approach to real estate,” he remarks of the group. “<strong>Agent</strong> Alliance has been a key to my success, because thanks to the assistance of experienced transaction coordinators, customer service specialists, a marketing department, legal counsel and assistance drawing contracts.” Administrative assistance allows Gaetano to focus on his strengths, which include cultivating solid client relationships, networking and negotiating on behalf of his clients’ best interests. At a time when consumers are privy to more information than ever, savvy real estate professionals must raise the bar in order to add value to the process of buying or selling a home. Gaetano excels not only in identifying his clients’ wants and needs, but in delivering an experience that is as smooth and stress-free as possible. He is objective and professional, consistent in his approach and delivery. He attributes much of his success to his mother Flo Bullock, an accomplished Realtor® who, says Gaetano, exemplifies professionalism. “She is brilliant,” he enthuses. “I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from her.” Gaetano’s commitment to excellence includes dedicated efforts to consistently improve upon his systems and approach. He regularly dialogues with colleagues and incorporates best practices into his own repertoire. “Experience makes a difference,” he observes. “I’ve learned from my own transactions, but there is always someone with a unique perspective or a distinct way of managing business. My aim is to provide my clients with the highest level of representation and care that I can, and I’m constantly looking for ways to better my level of service.” While Gaetano specializes in home sales throughout Lantern Village, the Dana Point resident manages transactions throughout South Orange County and beyond. “My clients’ needs drive my business,” he explains. This is true in every aspect of his approach; Gaetano offers objective and informative communication designed to educate and empower his clients to make their best decisions. “I’m not focused on selling, but on providing my clients with facts,” he offers. “I believe that people appreciate that.” His loyal clientele are testaments to Gaetano’s dedicated efforts. “At the end of the day, my business isn’t strictly about closing a transaction,” he reflects. “It’s about building relationships, accomplishing objectives and helping people realize their dreams. In what is typically the largest investment my clients will make, I gain tremendous satisfaction from seeing those dreams come to fruition.” Gaetano Lo Grande Keller Williams Realty Alliance Telephone: (949) 973-6914 Email: gaetano@ggcoastal.com Web: www.GGCoastal.com DRE# 01861815 <strong>Executive</strong><strong>Agent</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>
