Santiago Arana: The American Dream, Fueled by Love

To look at Santiago Arana now, one would think he was the luckiest guy in the world: great career, beautiful family and all the trappings of the good life. But looks can be deceiving. Coming to America from Bolivia with only $220 in his pocket, the clothes on his back, and a few other minor possessions, the only promise Santiago had was to stay on his aunt's couch for 8 months. A lot of hard work, plenty of risk and the love of an American woman proved to be the winning formula that brought him from washing dishes in a Santa Barbara restaurant without understanding a word of English to being ranked #1 in Los Angeles's most valuable real estate neighborhoods, west of the 405 freeway. A Principal and Partner of The Agency, he is ranked #8 among realtors nationwide, #3 in California and, for the second year in a row, #1 Latino Agent in the country for sales volume by the National Association for Hispanic Real Estate Professionals.It is not the critic who counts.
