About

Fred believes that everyone has the chance to grow and get ahead on the strength of their own efforts. “What is important is finding a profession to which your talents direct you to make the most of whoever you are. And then, hopefully, by working hard and keeping hope alive, you can make a difference and contribute to the whole,” said Evans. After earning a marketing degree from Cal State in 1969, Fred spent 16 years in retail management with Sears and Roebuck. He declined a promotion to company headquarters and joined a national real estate firm. His star rose quickly, due to his people skills, energy, desire, and persistence. At the height of his career, he left that firm to pursue growth opportunities with RE/MAX. He determined that RE/MAX could provide the best systems and support tools in the industry. With this infrastructure in place, he undertook the new challenge of building one of the top real estate teams in the world!

About

Stan is a native Californian who started college at the University of California Santa Barbara, fell in love with the area and later returned to make Santa Barbara his home. Like most Californians, Stans hobbies are active ones, many of which take advantage of Santa Barbaras Mediterranean climate. Stan enjoys tennis, hiking, jogging, spinning, car shows, snow skiing, snowshoeing, backpacking, numerous visits to volunteer in Yosemite and world traveling. Stan earned his Real Estate Salesperson License and started his sales career on February 7, 1980 and even through the early 1980s housing slump, Stan was an immediate success winning his companys 1980 Rookie of the Year award. In 1983, Stan had obtained a second Degree in Business, his Real Estate Broker License. It is said in real estate sales that getting through the first few transactions may be easy, but you will really know you have done your job well when clients continue to come back to you and refer you to new clients.
