About Frank Cortes

Real estate isn't just a job for us, it's something we were born and raised into! When I was five years old, I remember my parents becoming landlords in their quest for the American dream. I used to translate leases and documents for them as English was not their primary language. It wasn't easy but that lesson led to my eventual career path. I knew I wanted to help others do the same thing. My wife Michele was also born and raised into real estate. Growing up as a little girl, she watched her parent's business decisions carefully. One of those business decisions was investing in real estate, which is exactly how they retired with financial security. We are a husband and wife team who coincidentally were born and raised into real estate! We actually met working at Home Depot believe it or not! It's funny how we ended up in North County because it was actually real estate that brought us here. We purchased a bank repo in Pasadena and totally rehabbed it. We didn't know we'd hit a home run on it. That's what allowed us to move into North County. We ended up selling that property and buying a home right here in North County. This was an area we loved and made the decision to raise our kids here. They are born and raised San Diegans We make a great team. Not only are we both experienced and knowledgeable in real estate, but our strengths complement one another. I'm the guy who negotiates the best deal for the client and does the dirty work. Michele makes sure all the other behind the scenes details are covered and plans client events. So if you're looking for an agent you can trust that will ensure you are making a wise move, we're not only living the American Dream, we were Born & Raised Into it.

Frank and Michele are seriously the best. They held our hands through the whole process and really broke it down for us as first time home buyers. They were super knowledgeable about the area and it really felt like they were advocating for us.

Frank and Michele are extremely helpful every step of the way during the process of selling a home. They knew our area very well and knew what needed to be done to our home to get it ready for sale. They made the process very simple for us, to the point we were able to leave our home vacant during the process. Not only were they helpful but extremely easy to connect with. I highly recommend them as realtors not only because of the outstanding job they did but for who they are.

FRANK CORTES, first a real estate agent, now a realtor-friend, luckily found when I was searching for someone to sell a friends house. I needed one who was sensitive and kind. In the first moments of my interview with Frank, I knew he was the one. Frank is sincere and reliable, and he loves to help people. His always positive outlook makes people feel comfortable with him. He is always available, and can be quickly reached by phone, We admire him for his hard work, intelligence, and wide knowledge of the business. When we decided to sell our home, we knew exactly who would sell it. Frank, of course. There were some corrections that needed attention and Frank took care of all the details, bringing us up to date daily. He was kind enough to obtain bids , having new flooring put in, finding an electrician and roofer, and preparing the house for escrow. He spent many hours helping us, doing things we couldnt have done from a distant state. He is generous and efficient, and made sure our home was ready to go. We have been fortunate. Theres no one like him in his dedication to do everything properly. We join the many who have profited from his straightforward outlook and efficient ways. He is the best. Thank you, Frank, for brightening our lives in so many ways. Frank partners with his lovely wife, Michele, a truly winning team. Donna Christensen Estevane Lincoln, Nebraska
