Grant Inaba
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
Pleasant Hill - CA

In the mid-2000s, the real estate market began to show signs of significant growth, which piqued the interest of this agent. Recognizing a unique opportunity, they embarked on a journey to understand the intricacies of home buying. With no prior experience, they enrolled in real estate courses at a local community college, conveniently located near their rented apartment. Balancing their existing career in the library sector with evening classes, they found the process of learning invigorating. The prospect of obtaining a salesperson's license after just a few courses motivated them to study diligently, even without an immediate intention to enter the field. Their passion for acquiring certifications became evident as they collected credentials.

During this period, they also initiated their personal home search. Upon completing their real estate education, they felt compelled to transition into the industry, particularly as the library sector began to decline. After purchasing their first home, they joined Redfin, where they spent a couple of formative years. Embracing the technology-driven approach to real estate, they sought a brokerage that aligned with their values while allowing for the autonomy to operate in a manner that suited their style.

Now at Good Team Real Estate in the East Bay, they leverage advanced technological tools and a collaborative team environment to deliver exceptional service to clients. The agency fosters a cooperative atmosphere, prioritizing teamwork over competition, which enhances their ability to achieve results. Their collective efforts lead to a higher volume of successful closings, providing valuable insights and data that inform future transactions.

Industry peers recognize their reliability and effectiveness, often noting that they consistently close two to three times more than traditional solo agents in the same market. In a competitive landscape, clients benefit from the extensive expertise this team offers, particularly when navigating one of the most significant purchases of their lives. While some may be skeptical of the agent's enthusiasm for Good Team Real Estate, they remain committed to delivering the highest level of service, embodying a business philosophy that aligns perfectly with their professional aspirations.
