Aaron Dahlgren

I am a long term resident of Sarasota, originally from California.  I am used to working with clients with high expectations for level of service and job knowledge and needs anticipation.  I have seventeen years experience in customer service and over ten years experience in supervisory, trainer and manager roles across the industries I have worked within.  These include retail, food service both front end hospitality and wholesale including safety/compliance/production and finally automotive sales and finance.  Having the substantial familiarity with warehousing and other large scale production environments along with compliance, etc. I believe commercial real estate would prove to be a field where  I would be comfortable and natural for me to operate within.

I have been considering real estate for many years and feel now that it is the right time for me to make the move.  I took a week of paid vacation last month to take the class and register with dbpr and get my fingerprinting done.  I took the test the next week and became licensed.  I just need the right partnership and I am ready go!
