Jose Maldonado - RE/MAX Elite Realty Group

I was born and raised in Pahokee/Okeechobee Florida, two small towns known for agriculture and livestock. I come from a family of immigrant workers who's dream was to raise their kids in the land of opportunity in hopes of a better life. I have been blessed by being raised around hard working people who inspired me to do great things in life. I have good morals, values, I respect others, and treat people as I wish to be treated. I'm a hard worker and never wait for others to demand of me, but to demand of myself higher standards. After graduating high school I decided to join the USMC to challenge myself to become a better person for society. I did well from the beginning and advanced through the ranks falling in the top 10% within my peers. I got a chance to deploy which gave me a better perspective of how other cultures operate and how they do so much with very little. I learned that its not all about what you accomplish in a day but more importantly, the relationships you strengthen around you (better described by Brian L. Steed in his book Bees and Spiders). After 8 yrs of service I decided to get out in order to pursue the opportunity that real estate has to offer. I have big dreams for the future and look forward in helping as many people as I can. In doing so, I wish to build great relationships and strengthen my circle by surrounding myself around giants to gain experience in our industry. Ultimately, I aspire to create the best experience for buyers and sellers by facilitating/collaborating with all brokers. I will learn, earn, and teach others then repeat because that is what I consider great work. I'm passionate about what I do and my life moto is "Never Stop Giving".
