I'm a 15 year Marine Corps veteran, a husband, a father, and also a Southern California native. Today I'm going to share a little bit about myself so you can get to know a little bit more about me, and know what to expect when working with me as a real estate agent. Hi, my name's Ankoma Hose, I'm a realtor and mentor with the Whissel Realty Group brokered by eXp Realty.

As I mentioned, I was born and raised in Southern California, right after high school I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as a tank crewman and a tank commander. In 2011 I honorably discharged from the military and I enrolled in college for business management. And really around that time I was just enjoying my life with my family and my friends. So in 2013, my wife and I bought our first house. And that's what started my journey.

Around that same time, my father-in-law was still a real estate agent at the time. And I think a lot of his influence would make me start looking at real estate as a career. With enough equity in our first house, we purchased a river home, and spent a lot of time out there as a family on boats, water sports, and things like that. And then kind of from there I decided I'm going to go ahead and do this, and I got my real estate license.

So at this point I'm a real estate agent, I'm owning multiple homes. And I really started to think to myself, this is something that I really want to share with other families. Because it's from that first home that we were able to get these vacation properties. Something that I really missed while I was in the Marine Corps was spending time with family. If there's anything that I've learned is, your home is a lot of times your foundation for the best memories and experiences that you're going to build.

From my time in real estate, I've really started to enjoy helping home buyers start their journey when they get the keys to their home, or helping sellers turn that page and move on to the new journey, the next step in their lives. And that's something that I've really enjoyed sharing with families. And it really hits home for me because like I said, when I was in the Marine Corps, one of the things I missed the most was spending time with my family.

So whether you're active duty, or a veteran, or just somebody purchasing a home to live in, or as an investment property, I've really invested myself in mastering that process. And I want to share that journey with the people that I've worked with. I'm Ankoma Hose, realtor and mentor with the Whissel Realty Group. I hope you learned a little bit about me, and I look forward to learning about you when you buy or sell your next home.
