Hi Carlos,
I am right now dealing with Manny Perez from your office and told him that I had been with Keyes for a while. I commented with Manny about how much I liked your leadership and management style and that I really admired your depth of knowledge of the Real Estate business.
I also take this opportunity to tell you that Manny has followed your leadership.
He has been extremely professional throughout a difficult negotiation.
I am sorry that my kind of activity with the Real Estate world did not fit with your outfit, but would recommend your services to any and all.
Good luck,
Irene

I'm really privileged and fortunate to know Carlos and be a part of this team. In a word he's the best and yet never stops working to be better (if that's possible). He's an incredible leader, motivator, teacher and I never stop learning from him.
I have had the opportunity to know and work with Carlos for the past 14 years. He possesses all the qualities of a great leader through his integrity, problem solving skills, vision, influence, creativity, passion, teamwork, servant-hood, positive attitude, and confidence. His special talents epitomizes the best an organization could possibly have. Keyes is fortunate to have Carlos. And, I am fortunate to enjoy his friendship, and be a part of my life. He represents me according to my values. Watches the backs of his associates as manager. He continues to grow and shares the growth. He listens closely, understands his clients wants and needs, respects deadlines, and can handle multiple tasks. He has proven on numerous occasions that he is one of the best at what he does. He has a patient, and calm personality that allows him to work well with others. Carlos fullfills his responsibilities with excellence. He is honest, tells us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear. He helps to carry the weight. Carlos is an extraordinary person and is well respected among his team of professionals. Carlos adds value, and enjoys the journey together with his Associate/Realtors.
Carlos Villanueva has a clear vision and plan for growing our business. The training and insight that he provides are key tools in keeping us to date with market trends, conditions and actions required to adapt. He has great enthusiasm and fantastic energy that is contagious to our mindset every day. He manages a large office and is very professional in his demeanor while very friendly as well. Top notch broker, second to none. Best in class.
I am privileged and proud to be a part of The Keyes Company. It represents all a company should be for a Realtor, celebrating their 90th year in business which speaks for itself. Carlos is supportive, fair, attentive and knowledgeable. I am extremely grateful for his guidance and to be a part of this team.
I have known Carlos since I started my Real Estate career and followed him to Keyes 5 years ago. I am grateful to him for the incentive that he has given me and for his help and guidance when I have needed. I admire him professionally and personally. Carlos is a great Broker.
