Hopson has cultivated a successful career utilizing the
skills he honed as a member of the United States Navy,
and as a corporate executive in the technology sector.
Today he appreciates the opportunity to utilize his
business acumen as a trusted resource
for clients throughout Southern
California, representing a spectrum of
real estate transactions.
A native of Virginia, Teddy
capitalized on the opportunity to
develop discipline and leadership skills
through service in the U.S. Navy. His
world view was broadened in travel
throughout Asia, where he learned to
embrace a range of cultures, customs
and personality types. His military
experience proved a solid foundation
for a move to the corporate world;
Teddy forged a successful career as
a senior executive in the IT industry,
where he gained invaluable experience
in sales and marketing. He also
became intimately familiar with the
structure of business and the practice of
maximizing the contributions of others.
“I developed great process skills and
learned how to bring people through
processes,” he explains. “That has
been very useful in real estate.”
Transitioning from the structured
environment of corporate life into
his role as a real estate professional
was a natural segue, Teddy reveals.
Already an investor in local
development projects, he capitalized
on the opportunity to launch his own
business. “I felt that my sales and
marketing experience would transfer
well into real estate,” he offers. “I
was fortunate to have the guidance
of a great mentor, who helped me to
establish a successful business model
early in my career.”
