Early Life and Education
Caleb was born as the third of four children and raised in the Central Valley of California, where he comes from very humble beginnings that helped him develop his strong work ethic. Anyone that knows Caleb will understand that his family and loved ones are the main motivation for his drive and ambition.
Caleb attributes much of his success to his involvement in sports throughout his early life. Football and baseball were his favorites, and he prides himself on staying calm and collected in high pressure situations, a lesson he learned throughout his life as a quarterback and a pitcher. In addition, his athletic experience has allowed him to develop exemplary leadership and team-building skills.
His natural leadership skills continued on to California State University, Fullerton, where Caleb was chosen as 1 of 10 student board members out of over 9,000 students for the Advisory Board for the College of Business and Economics. In this role, Caleb directly consulted the Dean, as well as administrators, faculty, and staff with the aim to enhance the educational experience of his peers, increase academic efficiency, and serve as a liaison between the College of Business leadership and its students.
At CSUF, Caleb studied Real Estate Finance, adding another vital educational asset to help him better serve his clients in the future.
Career Background
Caleb has been heavily involved with all aspects of investment real estate since he was 21 years old. While taking night classes throughout college, he worked full-time during the day and was mentored by masters of the industry: Mark Malan (one of the best commercial real estate appraisers in Southern California) and Juan Huizar (one of the best brokers in multifamily and commercial brokerage).
Caleb’s heavy exposure to brokerage, appraisal, construction, development, and property management allows him to assist his clients at every stage of ownership.

- oversees asset performance for his clients’ portfolios to provide strategic guidance on maximizing returns,
- analyzes potential acquisition and disposition opportunities,,
- guides investment asset positioning, and
- models cash flow and deal structures
Career Goals and Purpose
He is driven by helping his clients understand the “ins-and-outs” of real estate investing, while taking advantage of the opportunity to grow their net worth, and also helping them become financially independent through real estate ownership.
