Carmen Gray

The key to making this business look easy is that I surround myself around a brilliant team of professionals and clients. I am passionate about Real Estate and look forward to waking up each morning to help clients reach their goals and live their dreams!

EXPERIENCE
My diverse background includes a history of business, corporate sales, team management and a degree in intercultural communications. This has enhanced my ability to think outside of the box and focus on maximizing the return on investments for my Real Estate Clients. I am also well known for my collaborative working style both within and between dynamic business organizations.
I obtained a BA in Speech Communications, with an emphasis in Intercultural Communications from San Francisco State University. I am a Licensed Real Estate Agent throughout the State of California.

Peter Gray

As a long time Solano County resident, I know from experience the multi-fold benefits to both businesses and families for choosing this incredibly centralized, convenient and affordable location within Northern California. We are on the edge of the most amazing Wine Country and within easy reach of three major international airports, as well as an easy drive away from San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Walnut Creek and Santa Rosa.

EXPERIENCE
I have been a business growth professional and Fractional Chief Operating Officer to my Clients for over 16 years, helping my Clients to grow their businesses and eventually to turn them into independently viable assets that can operate without them, if necessary. This ensures that the business can fetch the maximum valuation possible when it comes time for the Owner to sell it …even if that “sale” is merely to the next generation of the family or to key employees/management.

Our Mission

To demonstrate ELITE performance in every aspect of our business. From marketing to our personal commitment we promise to always make the ELITE experience the very best!

Philosophy

Every project starts with a story. your story. It’s our job to take your story and create the collateral that connects to potential buyers, Storytelling is the most effective way to reach your buying audience. We must capture the imagination and allow the consumer to vividly see themselves in their new home. Our process starts with you and finishes with a collaborative effort of great success!
