Gary Palacios

After years in the finance industry as a CFO for a semiconductor manufacturer, Gary felt the desire to do more. With a family background of working with homes from his father, who was a general contractor, plus his background in finance, he decided he wanted to work as a real estate agent to help people get to their dreams.

In 2004, Gary’s first full year of real estate, he sold 49 homes, while still working full time as a CFO in the high-tech industry. Soon his wife joined in, and they started building the real estate business together.

During the crash of 2007 and 2008, Gary decided to go all in. He quit his finance job and entered real estate full time. He specialized in short sales so that he could help people who were in bad situations to be able to keep their homes or to get out safely and securely.

Along with real estate, in 2012 he founded the “I Love Morgan Hill” Foundation, which touches many lives through monthly food distribution and an annual Christmas gift drive. Gary is thankful for a good life in Morgan Hill and loves to find ways to give back to the community.
