Gary Frimann, REALTOR
CRS, GRI, SRES, SFR, CRB, e-Pro        

Gary is the Broker/Owner of Signature Homes & Estates.  He started his real estate career in 1986 as a residential lender for Security Pacific Bank.  He later worked for various mortgage companies before becoming a Realtor.  He later got his Broker's license in 2001, and after a brief time working for a large national franchise, decided that opening his own
office and surrounding himself with true professionals was more of his liking.  He is adamant about all real estate being local, and non-franchise companies are best for the client, simply because they work FOR the client only, not for shareholders of some major corporation.  He has continued his education by holding National Association of Realtors designations such as GRI- Graduate, Realtor Institute, ABR- Accredited Buyer's Representative, ABRM-Accredited Buyer's Representative Manager, CRB- Certified Residential Brokerage Manager, SRES- Seniors Real Estate Specialist, CRS- Certified Residential Specialist,  and an ePRO- which is a certification for Real Estate computer proficiency.  He holds more desginations than any other Realtor in the South County. 

Besides handling client's residential houseing needs, Mr. Frimann is an expert on 1031 Exchanges for his investor clients and also handles commercial transactions.  He is also the owner of Signature Financial the mortgage arm of his company.  He is also the owner of Eagle Ridge Realty, which  specializes in seller and buyer representation in the Eagle Ridge Golf Community of Gilroy.

To return service to the community, Mr. Frimann is also the Real Estate instructor at Gavilan College, the local community college in Gilroy, and serves on three committees for the California Association of Realtors.  Locally, he serves the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors as a member of the Government Relations Committee and Education Committee.  A graduate of UCSB, Mr. Frimann later went on to earn his MS.
