Mario Romero, a native to our valley, was born in 1955 into a humble home in the West Valley community of Cashion. Strict, but loving parents, with a strong sense of family who considered hard work a privilege, not an obligation, gave Mario his strong work ethic. He and his siblings worked side-by-side, along with their parents, as migrant farm workers. They followed the seasonal crops across the west and northwest regions of the country, always looking forward to the return home. Mario graduated in 1973 from Tolleson High and within the same year began working for American Express. The following fourteen years there gave Mario a broad perspective of education, training, and employee relations, while rewarding him with promotions and increased responsibilities. While still working a full-time position there, and after a recent home purchase, Mario became interested in the real estate market. His curiosity took him to real estate school, and after obtaining his license, he began working at that part-time in 1983. The next four years, working both jobs, Mario made the difficult decision to become a full-time Realtor. He left American Express, saying goodbye to a long-time career and has, since then, always looked ahead with a great respect for his past. He welcomed the challenge of his new, not so stable career, and within the next ten years began building the foundation of what is now his own real estate group; The Mario Romero Team. The most important thing he learned from his parents was not knowing what he couldn't do meant he had to preconceived ideas what he couldn't do. He is a prominent, local businessman who has a solid reputation built on fairness, honesty and the desire to further his community. Mario is an avid fan of music, cinema and the Performing Arts. He is a proud subscriber to Broadway at the Orpheum, Arizona Theatre Company, and Broadway Palms He completes his season with various shows at Actors Theatre, Teatro Bravo, Chandler Center for the Performing Arts and Broadway at Gammage. His generosity, passion for life and his desire to be the best have been his greatest accomplishments of all. Became aware of Howard Brinton in 1996 and started listening to the Starpower tape series. He went to the 1st Annual conference in San Francisco and has built his business from there. Mario went from selling 45-55 units a year. In the year 2002 he sold 193 units / 25.5Million. For the year 2003 is on schedule for 250 units/ 33million. The market he serves is urban Phoenix , divided between Historic, mid-century and Hispanic markets. He is a very supportive partner of 9 years, who also happens to be part of the Team and keeps up with the website and patlive systems.
