Friday Feature: Ruben Hernandez

             
           With more than a decade of experience in the real estate industry, Prudential California Realty’s Ruben Hernandez and the EGA (Eagle, Globe, And Anchor) Team have consistently performed in the Top 1% in the business.  “It is amazing to see how an agent can take the best practices of their previous work experience and implement them into their daily routine as a Realtor and have fantastic results,” said Inland Empire Regional Manager James Monks.  “Ruben’s military experience has made him and his team one of the most efficient business models in the region.  He definitely leads by example…getting to the office early and always keeping a positive attitude.  He is a great example of just how much a daily dose of discipline can help our industry.”
              With an MBA from University California, Riverside, Ruben has an extensive business and military background before joining Prudential in 2003. His team works with clients not only in the Riverside area, but expanding to Orange, Los Angeles and San Diego counties and Ruben has positioned himself as a solid resource for Veteran buyers and sellers.
                The EGA team’s focus is on maintaining their position as a leading residential and commercial real estate operation.  How do Ruben and the EGA Team help meet the needs of clients? By developing key business and technology strategies for every client and taking a consultative approach to business. This includes honing in on the specific needs of the client rather than pushing an agenda.  “Once I understand the client’s needs, I tailor a specific response that meets and hopefully exceeds their expectations,” said Ruben.   “My goal is to impress the client to the point where they become ambassadors and promote me as a trusted, reliable and credible resource.”  His business also includes developing strong relationships with clients.  This approach has resulted in greater than 90% referral and retention rates.
           Ruben and Jennifer have lived in the Riverside area since 2003. When they are not working, they are involved with a number school and community events in the surrounding neighborhoods. It is a philosophy that was instilled in Ruben as a Marine that he carried over to his business. Ruben adds, “It's important to give back to the community and get involved not only from a Goodwill perspective but also to help bridge the gap between the needs of the community and the resources that the business community can provide in order to enhance the quality of life and build long-lasting relationships. EGA will continue to bridge that gap and do all It can to help others."
