My journey into entrepreneurship was built on the lessons my parents taught me and the unexpected opportunities I seized. From small ventures to building a thriving business, each step taught me resilience and shaped my future. 
 
In middle school, I remember taking a career test that suggested I would become an entrepreneur. At the time, I didn't fully grasp the significance of it, but looking back, it foreshadowed my future. 
 
Growing up, I witnessed my parents' entrepreneurial journey firsthand. My dad owned a flower shop in Lafayette, California, and worked tirelessly to make it successful. Twice a week, he'd wake up at 2:30 in the morning to drive to San Francisco or Oakland to buy fresh flowers. My mom, despite having a full-time job, helped with the business books in the evenings. Their hard work and determination provided a solid example of what it takes to run a successful business and instilled in me the value of dedication and self-belief. 
 
 Inspired by my parents as a kid, I washed cars for money, sold caramel apple pops, and bought and sold memorabilia and jerseys. Even when I was working a normal 9-to-5, I was always looking for new opportunities. One night, my friends and I were waiting in line to get into a nightclub. Frustrated by the wait, I realized that we knew enough people to host our own events. I connected with a promoter, learned the ropes, and eventually started organizing and promoting our own nightclub events. 
 
However, that lifestyle wasn't sustainable for a stable relationship or family life. Around this time, I remembered my uncle, who had passed away, telling me I'd be good in real estate. I had thought about getting into real estate after high school but put it on the back burner. I worked at Bank of America for eight years. The job felt soul-sucking and was the ultimate motivation to finally give real estate a try. 
 
In 2012, I got my real estate license while still working full-time at Bank of America. The market was beginning to ascend, and I sold several homes in my first year. With enough savings for a down payment and reserves, I bought a home and put in my two weeks' notice right after closing day. 
 
To learn from the best, I joined a top team in Contra Costa as a buyer's agent for two and a half years, closing more deals each year. My diverse background has significantly shaped my strengths in real estate. Early on, I honed my communication skills through customer service roles, where I learned the importance of clarity, empathy, and effective problem-solving. Transitioning to a sales role at Bank of America, I gained experience in understanding clients' financial needs and providing tailored solutions. My stint in club promoting further enhanced my ability to network and organize large-scale events, skills that seamlessly translate to hosting successful open houses and client appreciation events. This blend of experiences equipped me with a unique skill set that I leverage daily to deliver exceptional results for my clients. 
 
Eventually, I decided to spread my wings, working with listings and ultimately forming the Vincent Rossi Real Estate Group. I wanted to work with a great group of professionals who share my values and work ethic. My focus was not just on generating leads but on providing mentorship and guidance to junior agents. My team embodies a collaborative spirit, with a strong emphasis on continuous learning, mutual support, and delivering the best possible service to our clients. 
 
 
I’ve been married since 2017, but my wife, Angelica, and I have been together for 18 years. She’s always supported me and served as my rock as I navigated the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. I've made a conscious effort to balance work with quality time spent with family and friends. I love golfing, enjoying time with my pit bull, Max, and traveling anywhere with water, whether it's Hawaii or a camping trip by the lake! 
 
What I enjoy most about real estate is the constant challenge and problem-solving nature of the work. Every transaction is unique—while I have years of industry experience, I am always open to learning new things and staying current on the needs of the market. My ultimate goal is to deliver the best service possible to my clients. 
 
I bring a diverse range of skills to the real estate industry, including expertise in single-family, multifamily, and luxury properties. Having lived in the area my entire life, I enjoy applying my community knowledge to guide first-time home buyers and relocation clients to find the perfect area and property for their needs. I'm also highly effective in communication, ensuring clear and productive conversations with clients, and I have a proven track record in marketing, leveraging both traditional and digital strategies to maximize property visibility. I’m hands-on from beginning to end, and even after, committed to serving as your REALTOR® for life.  
 

Sincerely,
