About Abel

Ranking in the top 1% of real estate producers in San Luis Obispo County, Abel Contreras attributes much of his success to his unbridled work ethic and determination. Specializing in investments and property sales, Abel differentiates himself from countless agents by granting his clients coveted access to off-market inventory, especially in the multifamily sector. He also employs targeted marketing techniques and advanced technology to get his clients over hurdles and elevate their experience. In addition to investors and sellers, Abel represents experienced buyers.

Abel’s name fits him to a T with his stealth ability in overcoming obstacles, a skill that dates back at least to his college days. Motivated to study business at California Polytechnic State University, Abel secured a full-ride scholarship through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. His dream education taught him the business strategies he uses today as an agent. Abel’s talent helped him stand out from his peers when he began his real estate career at a major brokerage. Now, he uses it to grow Invest SLO into a valued real estate choice for clients with a range of property interests.

Naturally curious, Abel loves learning as much as he can about the real estate market and enjoys reading motivational books. Abel also works to uplift and expand his community. To that end, he is an active member of his church, the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Home Builders.
