    Enrique Tellez

    On this episode of Housekeys, host Cam Villa sits down with Enrique Tellez, a REALTOR® whose real estate journey began on the lending side at just 20 years old. Starting in mortgages, Enrique spent 14 years gaining experience across sales, management, loss mitigation, and loan modifications before earning his real estate license to pursue fix-and-flip opportunities. Today, he brings a rare blend of lending and REALTOR® expertise to his clients. Enrique believes that real estate is more complex now than ever, not because of the process itself, but because consumers have access to more information than ever before. He emphasizes that having a license alone doesn't guarantee success; consistency and execution do. Throughout the years, Enrique has leaned into self-education and the Real Estate coaching communities. Rooted in Elk Grove and raised in South Sacramento, Enrique is passionate about educating clients. Enrique sees the SAR as a major growth catalyst, crediting the Leadership Academy for opening his eyes to the Association's impact and resources.   Music: Welcome to the Show by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4614-welcome-to-the-show  License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license  All speakers in this podcast do not speak on behalf of the Sacramento Association of REALTORS® nor do they represent the Sacramento Association of REALTORS®.

    On this episode of Housekeys, host Cam Villa welcomes Tonya Gibson, whose journey into the title industry began with an unexpected career pivot. After spending 10 years in the restaurant and hospitality service, Tonya was introduced to an opportunity in real estate. Honest about her lack of tech experience at the time, she leaned into learning, training for two years before becoming a Transaction Coordinator in 2001 and transitioning to the title side in 2003. Tonya credits much of her success to relationships, consistently putting herself out there, and leveraging the powerful tools available through her company. For Tonya, family has always come first. Over this last year, she has celebrated her recent engagement and has always focused on staying closely connected to her children and grandchildren. As a Sacramento resident of Colonial Heights, Tonya values reconnecting with her neighborhood and believes the industry rewards those who are prepared when opportunity knocks. Her advice to newcomers in the Real Estate Profession is simple: this business is competitive—be ready when your chance comes.   Music: Welcome to the Show by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4614-welcome-to-the-show  License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license  All speakers in this podcast do not speak on behalf of the Sacramento Association of REALTORS® nor do they represent the Sacramento Association of REALTORS®.
