About Gregory
Greg Shipp is a California Real Estate Broker and owner of "Sentinel Real Estate & Investments" located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. They are in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. They are a full-service real estate brokerage assisting sellers, buyers, investors, and institutions with the sale of mostly residential properties. He first became interested in real estate while attending college at Mount San Antonio College, located in Walnut, CA, and California Polytechnic University in Pomona. He was a business major with an emphasis on accounting. When he discovered Cal Poly offered a degree in Finance, Real Estate & Law he quickly changed his major and pursued this course of study. The unique concept of private property rights inherent in our Constitution, English common law, and our Judeo/Christian heritage are, and were, fascinating to him. The other background that helped prepare him, unknowingly, for a future career in real estate was his employment and tenure in the restaurant and hospitality business. His first job was as a dishwasher in a fine dining restaurant where he quickly promoted to busser. Several years, and restaurants later, he advanced from busser, to waiter, trainer, and eventually to manager. At each of these fine dining restaurants he learned about customer service, with an emphasis on creating a unique experience, regardless of whether the customer was celebrating a special occasion, a romantic dinner, or simply a delicious meal, served and presented with class and elegance. This early training continues to expand with his real estate clients. He desires that their individual experience is informed, exciting, and satisfying, leaving a pleasant aftertaste! In the late 1980’s, after getting married to the love of his life and becoming parents, they discovered quickly that the schedule demanded in the restaurant and hospitality business was not suitable for their young family. In preparation for this transition, he took real estate appraisal courses and was employed by a mortgage company as a real estate appraiser. Years later, after training, he opened his own appraisal company, serving the needs of mortgage companies, attorneys, and private parties, across Southern California, primarily in the Inland Empire, San Gabriel/Pomona valleys, and beyond. He obtained his appraiser license in 1990, and he also obtained a Residential Certified Appraiser. He had already obtained his Real Estate Salesperson license in 1988. Due to a slowdown in the lending and appraisal business in the early 1990’s he associated with Prudential California Realty in Rancho Cucamonga and truly began his career as a real estate salesperson. He built his business and established himself as a trusted real estate agent amongst his clients, peers, and in our community. He joined RE/MAX in 2001, first as a real estate salesperson, and then as an Associate Broker, after obtaining his broker’s license in 2007. After the RE/MAX office closed in 2008, he opened his own brokerage, Sentinel Real Estate & Investments. In retrospect it is easy to see the purpose behind each experience from college, the restaurant/hospitality business, and appraisal. Each experience has contributed to our ability to accurately provide value opinions to our buyers and sellers; stay up to date with economic and cultural changes within our local and regional market so as to maximize market timing; while providing a customer service experience rich with knowledge, experience, and understanding, while staying focused on our client's dreams and goals.
