and his wife Sherrie (a REALTOR® and owner of First California Realty, Inc.) practice what they preach: They live extremely well in a lovely view home in a highly desirable community (for which they spend many hours on volunteer projects), and own numerous commercial investment properties including apartments, warehouses, office buildings and a retail strip shopping center. Both have vast experience in the technical process of buying, selling and managing properties.
Stephen has represented investor-clients in purchasing the similar properties and has testimonial letters praising the high level of involvement provided during the transaction due to his diverse professional background and experience.
Stephen holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance from San Diego State University and attended Golden Gate University Law School as well as the Graduate School of Business. Stephen is currently enrolled in William Howard Taft University, Witkin School of Law, where he is finishing up his studies for the Juris Doctor degree.
He is also a Certified Estate Analyst who specializes in estate planning for retirement plans, including the analysis and suitability of converting funds invested in individual retirement accounts (IRA's) into tenant-in-common (TIC's) and other investment real estate.
Stephen began his real estate career by making his
first real estate investment in 1974. Since that
time, Stephen and his wife, Sherrie, have purchased
and sold hundreds of investment and residential
properties for clients and themselves.
In 2003, Stephen opened First California Realty, Inc.
in beautiful offices along Sausalito's waterfront. Shortly thereafter, he started FCR Investments in order to create a conduit for
his clients and their commercial investment
needs.
His first career was as an Insurance agent and
he sold life, disability, fire and casualty insurance
and held two different California insurance licenses.
The second was as a government bond specialist for
a NYSE member securities firm where his sales prowess
led him to be promoted to branch management.
Stephen
held seven securities licenses, including general securities
principal, municipal securities principal, registered
options principal, NYSE sales supervisor and general
securities sales. As manager of Morgan Olmstead
Kennedy and Gardner, a NYSE member, Stephen was responsible
for nearly 100 brokers, 10 traders, a real estate
syndication department, a public finance department
and overall operations for the largest branch office
in the company. Stephen began assisting key clients
with tax planning while working in this capacity
and still prepares income tax returns for many clients-a
very useful background for real estate of all types.
