GD Realty

GD Realty is an urban commercial real estate investment company focused on the acquisition and property management of core retail and office properties in Southern California. The business grew out of my passion for real estate and commitment to thoughtful, intentional and methodical community impact. With meticulous analysis and hard work, I’ve been able to establish a portfolio of ambitious acquisitions.

What I have learned while running this business is that 90% of success is defined by your relationships and your credibility. Because without that, no one's bringing you deals. The other 10% is everything else you have to do.

That’s why we work with 1st Century Bank. We have built a strong relationship with our Relationship Manager. They helped us secure a complex commercial loan that other banks would shy away from. And just like us, they do what they say they are going to do. They were very open-minded when looking at that transaction ─ and at the end of the day, 1st Century Bank came through for us. So now, if a commercial deal comes up, obviously we’re presenting it to 1st Century.

It’s all about trust and loyalty. That’s how you grow.
