Eugene Adan began his real estate career with great success focusing on the tri-cities area of Carlsbad, Vista, and Oceanside. After a few years of selling real estate Gene transitioned into the mortgage side of the real estate business. In a short time period, he became a top producer and sales leader month after month and was eventually promoted to sales manager. While working as a mortgage professional, Gene was concurrently studying for his broker’s license and passed his broker’s exam. Upon becoming a broker and just six years after starting in real estate, he began his own real estate company, successfully helping his clients purchase and sell properties and obtain financing. Property management was another service offered to his clients as well. As a Realtor® Gene has served on the local board as a member of the Professional Standards and Ethics committee, actively participating in the arbitration process. He says that to last in this business you need to constantly sharpen your skill set and be adaptable as markets evolve. Without a doubt, a transaction as important as homebuying is fraught with emotion, not to mention that it could very well be the largest monetary transaction of someone's life. You need to provide guidance and empathy, be truthful, and knowledgeable. Gene has been a North County resident for over 40 years, and together with his spouse Melissa, have raised a son and daughter who attended Carlsbad schools. He has seen the area grow and change and enjoys living near the beach where he enjoys the North County lifestyle.
