About Montéle Graves

They say passion is the most valuable asset we can pursue. With over 15 years of experience in the financial sector, specializing in spatial-demographic analysis and strategy and working with people, I would say passion for people is what drives me. What I enjoy most is helping others realize their dreams. Whether that means purchasing their dream home or success on the soccer field, my goal is that every client experiences an educational, enjoyable and enthusiastic approach to overcoming challenges. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals, and working alongside you with your real estate needs.

I am a self-driven, customer-focused analytical thinker with an entrepreneurial edge and experience aimed to boost wealth, reduce frustration, enhance customer experience, and mitigate risk.

I’m a “Jack-of-All-Trades” and had the opportunity to wear many hats in my career. I’ve worked as an Asset Manager, directing Facilities Managers, maintaining projects budgets, scope of work and timelines. I’ve been a Location Planner, revolutionizing network planning processes and managing GIS systems. As well as a Marketing Analyst, discovering new customer segment insights, driving shifts in marketing programs. Lastly, I’m a real estate investor, owning and managing a rental property in the heart of San Diego.

Soccer is more than just a hobby for me—it's a passion. I've had the privilege of playing and coaching at the NCAA Division 1 level, as well as in top-tier youth soccer across the United States. Throughout my career, I've achieved a strong winning record and numerous tournament championships.

"In Pursuit of Perfection" is my motto. Although I realize there are no perfect people, we can strive to be the absolute best at everything we attempt! This includes striving for 100% accuracy in information provided, etc. I am passionate about improving outcomes for those who place their trust in me, my clients! My unique combination of education, corporate experience and soft skills enables me to challenge conventional thinking and explore new possibilities. My decisions and actions are guided by the following principles…

SERVE FIRST

I reach my goals by helping other people reach theirs. My objective is to provide more value than I receive during every sales or leadership opportunity.

COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY

I strive to understand other people’s perspectives before sharing my own. I am always considerate. Courage is sometimes required to stand up for what is in everyone’s best interest.

OPEN YOUR MIND

Whenever I chart a course to reach a goal, I remain open to new ideas and other perspectives that might cause me to change my course or even the goal itself. Improvement requires change.

BEAT YOUR BEST

My favorite quote, “Happiness is the joy we feel from striving for our potential”, serves as a constant reminder to not only do my best every day but to also raise the bar again after achieving each goal.
