Transacting Real Estate in today's marketplace requires a specific level of expertise. For your convenience, we have listed our background information below.

Security Pacific Real Estate was founded in 1969 by Ray DeGennaro and Richard J. Clancy. The first office was located on Pear St. in Pinole. By the late 70's, there were 13 offices throughout California. In 1981 the duo split the company along the boundaries established by the two Boards of Realtors in its' market area. DeGennaro and his new partner, Jack Burns Sr., concentrated their efforts in West Contra Costa County and Clancy focused on the central portion of the county.

In 1987, Jack Burns Sr. and Ray DeGennaro consolidated their offices into the company's newly constructed 16,000 sq. ft. Richmond Hilltop office. Over the years, Security Pacific has flourished and evolved into the largest locally owned and managed brokerage firm in the area. Ninety percent of Security Pacific's business is residential re-sales. The remaining ten percent of the company's business is a mixture of commercial and income investment property.

In 2005, Jack Burns Jr. became the President and Co-owner of the firm.

Security Pacific in West Contra Costa County offers unique benefits to its clients; one stop shopping convenience with both North American Title Co. and All California Mortgage located within the same building.

Another big plus for clients is the cultural diversity amoung Realtors with Security Pacific Real Estate. The firm's culturally diverse associates speak several foreign languages. Jack Burns Jr. attributes the firm's success to being able to attract some of the best and most dedicated Realtors in the business. Another key ingredient to the company's success is the management team, Carylon Dopp. Having good Managers who are dedicated and concerned is another reason why the firm is able to attract and retain top quality Realtors.

A strong commitment to quality service to our clients has characterized Security Pacific Real Estate since it was founded. Home buyer education and an awareness of the changing market add to the strong reputation among its clients, who continue to bring back repeat business and referrals to the company.

Providing state of the art technology and support services gives our associates a competitive edge, thereby strengthening the firm and allowing our Realtors to concentrate on selling, rather than administrative tasks.
