Bio
More than a promise or even a guarantee, this statement is a testament to Bill’s track record of matching each of his clients to the investment property that best meets their business and personal goals.
Bill’s success is no fluke, but the result of a lifetime of hard work. He has dedicated his entire professional career to the study and practice of effective and profitable commercial real estate investments. But Bill’s dedication is not the whole secret to his success. His clients have to be every bit as committed to Bill’s process as he is.
As Bill says, “It’s not a beauty contest,” where he trots out a bunch of properties from his inventory for a shopper to pick and choose. In fact, when Bill takes on a new client or a new assignment for a current client, the investment opportunity that best meets that clients’ goals may not even be on the market…and that’s where Bill’s dedication and determination come into play. When Bill and a client agree on an investment plan, Bill will find the right property. It’s that simple. That doesn’t mean “easy,” because doing takes dedication of time and resources. But in the end it will be the right deal.
As a competing Tri-athlete, Bill puts his clients in this light: “Successful investors learn, just as triathletes, the importance of endurance. A tri-athalon is not won quickly. Finishing—let alone winning—is a matter of pacing and patience. Investing, in Bill’s opinion, is no different. Pursuing a “get rich quick” strategy is a sure way to get poor quick. Bill’s advice? “Take the first step,” he says. “Meet with someone you trust, and remember, it isn’t a race, this is a long-term objective. Success is all about endurance. You commit to me and I commit to you.”
Behind this disciplined approach is a career shaped by experience, education, and professional qualifications that support every recommendation and reinforce client confidence. Since 1988, he has sold, leased, managed, financed, and appraised more than $400 million in commercial and investment real estate, dedicating his entire professional life to the study and practice of profitable real estate investing. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Real Estate and Land Use Affairs from California State University, Sacramento, and is a licensed Real Estate Broker in California and Arizona, as well as a former Certified General Real Property Appraiser. A CCIM designee, Bill brings advanced analytical rigor to every assignment. His process focuses on aligning clients with the investment opportunity that best supports their business and personal goals, even when that opportunity is not actively on the market. Formerly President and CEO of North Bay Commercial Real Estate, Inc., and deeply involved in professional and community organizations, Bill approaches investing like endurance athletics, viewing success as the result of preparation, discipline, and sustained commitment over time.
