Phoenix is the capital of the southwestern U.S. state of Arizona. Known for its year-round sun and warm temperatures, it anchors a sprawling, multicity metropolitan area known as the Valley of the Sun. It's known for high-end spa resorts, Jack Nicklaus–designed golf courses, and vibrant nightclubs. Other highlights include the Desert Botanical Garden, displaying cacti and numerous native plants.

Jose is a lot of things, but first and foremost, he’s a leader. Having worked in nearly all levels of the financial industry beginning in 2002 until presently working at Old Republic Title Agency as a Business Development Manager. Jose has been a servant leader to his customers and clients through the core values of customer service, leadership, and team building.

Jose first came to the valley in 2000. After attending Arizona Western College, he learned the value of customer service first by becoming a bank teller, then climbing the ladder by making his mark in every area he touches. Jose has built an impressive career even if you only base that on the smiles on his client’s faces. He’ll tell you- “That moment when I find just the right solution for a client’s needs, and you see the weight lift from their face, that moment is gold for me.” 

Leadership is in Jose’s DNA. He generously gives his skills and time to community organizations like The Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce where he volunteers, PHX Pride, One n Ten, Aunt Rita’s, and other St. Vincent de Paul Hunger causes, and many, many others. His active community involvement only underlines his belief in team-building.

Jose currently lives in Encanto Palmcroft with my partner of 16 years and his family of three including their Shih Tzu. If you’re ever in need of a restaurant recommendation, Jose is a total “foodie” and is always ready to talk about some amazing new place he just tried or his plans for an upcoming culinary adventure.
