Today we’d like to introduce you to Robert Lopez.
Robert, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I moved to San Diego in 2008 on a whim and a dream to become a professional poker player. A few buddies decided to come down and we landed a spot in pacific beach. Met my wife about 3 years later on the beach lol yes dream come true. I worked in the food and beverage industry for about 17 years, I managed Searsucker downtown and Lou and Mickey’s as well. I ended up going to culinary school at San Diego Culinary Institute and graduated form there in the summer of 2017.
Right after that, I was able to get my real estate license in the fall of 2017. The first 7 months of 2018 were rough, I was only able to close 3 deals with my brother while working full time and both jobs. I ended up switching brokerages and teams and my business has taken off ever since then. My wife and kids are the biggest reason why. Waking up to them and putting them to sleep everyday is why I do what I do. Right now I am a Team Lead with the Zandra Ulloa Realty Group. Top producing agent and was able to secure agent of the year last year while only being on the team for 6 months.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Road has definitely had its challenges. Going to culinary school and working full time to support my family was exhausting, without my wife’s support it would not have been possible. My children have been super patient during these challenges. Barely making ends meet, by god’s grace, only closing 3 deals my first 7 months in real estate had me questioning if I could do it. Had a big change to a different brokerage in the middle of having a breakthrough year was devastating at first but it happened for a reason and able to be grateful for it now.
