About Us

Carol Garcia was born and raised in the beautiful islands of the Philippines. Always striving to achieve academic excellence Carol received her Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology degree at the Centro Escolar University. Carol came to the United States with barely any money in her pocket. Her aspirations for a better life did not discourage Carol to pack up everything in pursuit of the so-called “American Dream.”

Carol Garcia humbly started her Real Estate career in 1989 as a Realtor. After 19 years of affiliation to a Franchise Company, she decided to become an Independent Real Estate Broker in 2009. Her decision was unequivocally supported by her husband Rene Garcia and her son Richard. After 21 years in the industry, Carol has established herself as one of the most successful Real Estate Brokers in Solano County, specializing in Residential Traditional Sales, Short Sales, and Bank-Owned Properties.

Having a constant and never-ending desire towards learning, Carol attended various Learning Institutions such as the Five Star Institute REO Courses, Real Estate Default School, Certified Distressed Properties, Life Success Institute and Default School to further expand her knowledge of the Real Estate business. She also attended Dale Carnegie courses to further empower herself in the business.

Countless hours of hard work and dedication helped Carol earn some of the most sought after designations in the business such as a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) wherein only 4% of Realtors in U.S. hold such designation, Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS), Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), REOtrans Certified Platinum and RES.net certified.

Her determination and diligence paved the way for her to achieve the prestigious RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004 and the highly coveted RE/MAX Hall of Fame Award. In addition to her already excellent accomplishments, she has earned the reputation as among the RE/MAX Top 100 Realtor since 1995.

Carol’s professionalism and extensive knowledge is unparalleled when it comes to asset brokerage. She is affiliated with the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the California Association of Realtors (CAR), the Solano Association of Realtors (SAOR), and the Contra Costa Association of Realtors (CCAR) and the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA).

Rich Garcia, a Business Management graduate from the University of Phoenix, decided to join the family business in 2009. After working as a loan officer for 3 years in Solano Mortgage Company, Rich made a decision to switch from loans to Real Estate. His career transition was relatively easy considering the fact that he has been exposed in the Real Estate industry for over 20 years; literally growing up with the business of Carol. Highly adaptable to any working environment and possessing a determined attitude to succeed, Rich’s qualities definitely helped him advance in his Real Estate career.

Rene Garcia proudly served the United States Coast Guard for 28 years as a Chief  Warrant Officer. Shortly after retirement Rene decided to join Carol in her Real Estate business and eventually became the Managing Broker of RCR Realty. Having a never give up attitude combined with very good people person skills has paved the way for Rene’s success in the Real Estate industry.
