SANTA PAULA, CA - Manny Manzano, a high producing real estate broker with nearly 25 years of industry experience and special expertise on what it takes to qualify for a home loan today, has joined the Santa Paula/Fillmore offices of Troop Real Estate, Inc. as an agent, announces Scott Dunbar, manager of the offices.

Manzano launched his real estate brokerage career in 1988 in Santa Paula, followed by 18 years in the mortgage end of the business, including direct lending and brokerage. He operated his own brokerage firm in Oxnard from 2003 to 2011. Along with way, Manzano provided both brokerage and mortgage services.

“I believe it’s a tremendous advantage to have a mortgage background because I know exactly what it takes for buyers to qualify for a home loan in today’s challenging lending market. I feel I can quickly determine a client’s prospects. I chose to join Troop as an agent because of the firm’s name recognition, network of offices, and support,” Manzano said. He added that he expects to focus on the REO market at Troop.

A member of the Ventura County Coastal Association of Realtors®, Manzano grew up in Santa Paula, attending Santa Paula High School. He resides in Fillmore.
