Michael Gallegos
Real Estate Agent

Finding the right agent can sometimes be as challenging as finding the right property. We are confident that Michael is the right choice for you. Ecuadorian-born, Michael gained significant cultural understanding and experience there. He moved to California in 1999 as a teenager and quickly adapted to the new culture, language, and interactions, a drastic change from Ecuador. This experience gave him insight into individuals’ essential needs and desires.

Michael has a large network, with a previous career in accounting and vibrant, thriving contacts. His love for soccer, coaching, and dedicated service to his local church keep him connected with the community. He sees people, treats them well, and his network reflects that.

He is excited for his future career with Independent Property Investors and hopes to work with you as well.
