After more than 15 years of successfully conducting international sales in the electronics industry, I made the decision to alter my career path and enter the exciting and challenging world of real estate sales. The real estate market is now stronger than ever and is a key measurement of wealth in today’s society. As an industry leader, Prudential California Realty is committed to offering our clients the latest innovations in marketing and technology. My website, www.AndrewKarigan.com, demonstrates this with its extensive list of features including thousands of properties, searchable open houses, virtual tours, email updates, financial calculators, selling tips, and so much more.

My primary goal in working with Prudential is to demonstrate to all of my clients my keen knowledge of the market and also my strong commitment to offer the utmost in service and professionalism. My undergraduate degree from UC-Berkeley, as well as my MBA in International Management from programs completed at top European business schools, have certainly lent to my ability to perform successfully in this industry. As a Certified Relocation Specialis, I also work with clients located in other parts of the country as well as those located overseas who are interested in investing in property in Southern California. My ability to communicate in French, Spanish, and Greek has also enabled me to expand my global presence with Prudential. I also focus on various market segments within the local market.
