Professional Experience
Upon graduating from high school, Raul owned a small Carpet and Floor Cleaning Company. The company specialized in carpet restoration, and later transitioned into a flooring company which grew to the point where he had numerous commercial accounts city wide. He has spent 15 years in sales, and throughout that discovered that he is a people person; that realization helped shape his career around helping and serving the needs of people.
In 2007, he opened The Boiler Room, which served as one of San Antonio’s best night life venues. After exceeding his expectations, he decided to sell and go into the corporate world. He spent three years as a Corporate Executive for the Target Corporation and had the privilege to serve on the Hispanic diversity panel for the company. He led the volunteer outreach for all the Targets in the San Antonio district.
After gaining a taste of the corporate life, Raul soon realized that he missed helping people. The wealth of knowledge and connections he has acquired over the years led him to the decision to become a REALTOR in 2014. Raul describes this as the best decision he could have made for himself and his family. He loves what he does, and most of all loves helping others along their journey to find a perfect home for their families. His greatest accomplishments are receiving referrals from past clients, and to him, that is the only way for him to know if he is living up to their expectations.
