New Real Estate Broker Introduction:

[Rafael Mercedes]

Hi Everyone!

I'm a prospective new RE Broker in the state of Colorado. I'm about to take my exams after finishing the extensive education portion. I like to be ahead of the curve so I'd like to introduce myself before passing examinations. (Disclaimer: Not a current license broker yet)

I'm a military veteran with experience as an electrician on fighter jets & special forces in the Navy for almost 9 years.

After that career, I decided to run my own Campervan building business in Southern California with some proceeds from my 401k & sale of my first home. That was a very educational experience as a small business owner. Once the economy started to slow, I decided to get out of small business (was gouging me dry) and jump into my next passion of Real Estate.

I moved to Colorado and now I'm on the path of getting my RE Broker License as well as attending University of Denver to acquire my BA in Real Estate Development.

My main priority on this forum is to learn, share information, and help others attain a lifetime of wealth & purpose through their real estate goals.

I'm hoping to meet like minded brokers, lenders, title companies, developers, property managers, & investors that believe the most important aspect of this business is providing more value to others than you receive.

Without people, we'd never have any business or a fruitful life.

Let's get to building a better future.

R. Mercedes
