Charles Mader's Summary
I have a very simple business philosophy: I work hard, I am honest and I put the interests of my clients above my own.
I am a Principal and the Managing Broker of MB Desert Properties in Palm Springs, Calif. My hometown is Palo Alto where I graduated from Gunn High School in 1982. I hold a B.A. from UC Santa Barbara in Political Science ('86). I studied for my Real Estate license at the Anthony School of Real Estate.
Before becoming a Realtor in 2001, my career was in corporate accounting; starting at Wachovia after college in 1987 and working my way up to my last position in that field in 2002 as Controller for Mayan Art, a multi-national jewelry manufacturer based in Miami with three maquilladores (factories) in Mexico.
I became a Realtor because I was burned out on accounting while at the same time tired of paying commissions to agents when buying and selling my own properties. When I got my license, I decided to make a mid-life career change out of accounting and into real estate marketing and sales. I've never looked back.
Prior to my recent move to Palm Springs, I lived and worked in San Francisco; specializing in the Diamond Heights neighborhood. I am considered by my peers to be the Diamond Heights Expert, and I am proud of that.
Right now I'm busy launching a start-up in Palm Springs called MB Desert Properties. I am the "M". We opened our doors June 7 and I'm looking forward to the challenges and opportunities of creating and managing my own shop.
Additionally, I have been working on establishing a Realtor referral network, PV Made Simple, a one stop shop for folks in the US to buy Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta.
