Steve Sanchez relocated to California from New Jersey, after enlisting in the United States Marine Corps, from 1996-2004. Steve served as an infantryman during Operation Iraqi Freedom and earned distinguished medals and ribbons such as: Combat Action Ribbon, Presidential Unit Citation, and many more. Upon the end of his 8-year enlistment in 2004, Steve decided to make the Coachella Valley his home.
After receiving an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps Steve's civilian career started in telecommunication; district director for a state legislator; account executive for a group of radio stations, and billboard company; and currently as a commercial real estate agent representing buyers and seller on multi-family, retail, office, and hospitality investments as well as land sales. Steve's goal is to try to sell every apartment in the Coachella Valley at least once; local investors, agents, and friends refer to Steve as "#TheApartmentGuy or #TheInvestmentGuy."
Additionally, Steve was elected to the La Quinta City Council in 2016 where he’s served as Mayor Pro Tem, La Quinta Housing Authority member; Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) Commissioner; Vice Chair Southern Region of California LAFCO; Boar member for CA LAFCO; Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) District 66 representative; SCAG Transportation Committee (TC) member; former Executive Board member for the League of CA Cities Riverside County Division; League of CA Cities Public Safety Policy Committee member; Commissioner on the Coachella Valley Animal Campus (CVAC) Commission; and a member of other boards and committees.

Steve is also a former Big Brother and Board Member with the Big Brother and Big Sisters of the Desert; Former Board Member for Leadership Coachella Valley; Former Board Member of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce, and past Chairman of the Indio Chamber of Commerce to name a few.
When Steve isn’t working or volunteering his time, at 4am you’ll see him walking/running his rescued dogs (a German Shepard named Sparta, half-Malinois named Katana, and his recently adopted German Shepard named Romulus), running, meditating, Peloton, yoga, Jiu Jitsu, and weight training all by 9am. Additional passions include studying history, the U.S. Constitution, learning new languages, or just enjoying a nice glass of wine with friends. Speaking of wine, Steve has his WSET 1 certification.
Steve has teamed with founder Scott Wilson and focuses on selling multi-family apartment complexes, and commercial investment properties.
