Ernest is a dual-licensed real estate broker and mortgage loan officer based in Los Angeles. He founded Del Real Group to remove a structural inefficiency in the industry: the friction between the agent and the lender when a transaction is on the line.
Most homebuyers and sellers learn the hard way that the agent and the lender don't always communicate. Deadlines slip. Documents go missing. Pre-approvals don't match offers. The client pays the price in stress, time, and sometimes the deal itself.
By holding both licenses and running both sides of the work himself, Ernest is able to underwrite a strategy on the same day he writes the offer—and stand behind both. The result is a quieter, more deliberate transaction with fewer points of failure.
He holds an MBA and has spent his career working across both real estate and lending, with a focus on first-time buyers, investment property, and clients moving up to their next home through the Buy Before You Sell program.
