AGENT OF THE MONTH
Vaccaro
Before becoming a real estate broker, Tony Vaccaro, a native of the SF Bay area, has a marketing and communications background, having worked at Charles Schwab in San Francisco where he ran marketing initiatives targeted at high-net-worth individuals. “I always had a passion for real estate though,” he says. “So in 2001, I quit my job and moved to Los Angeles where I eventually landed a position at the California Association of Realtors where I worked for almost 10 years.”
