Hi. I'm Bruce, a Realtor with CENTURY 21 Desert Rock. For many years I have had businesses in both the housing and insurance industries, which have provided me with knowledge , experience, and real insights into what is important to sellers and buyers of real estate and all the businesses connected to a real estate transaction. For the past 15 years I owned a Farmers insurance agency with two offices--one in the city of Barstow and, the main office, in the city of Hesperia. This has allowed me to know those areas very well. After selling my insurance agency in January 2018, starting a career in the real estate industry, especially with Century 21, seems to be a natural fit since I was a real estate agent with Century 21 in the past. Understanding the housing, escrow, insurance, home inspection and appraisal industries and also state and local building codes have provided me with the knowledge to facilitate a smooth process in the transaction of real estate. Over many years, I have developed among my peers a reputation of honesty, trust, integrity, professionalism, and commitment to work for the best interests on behalf of my clients. I bring to the real estate industry the same attributes, skills and traits. I work well with clients since I believe in the principle of "do unto others what you would have them do unto you." My goal is to create a pleasant experience so that you can achieve your desires. In 1972, after an honorable discharge from the United States Air force, I became a southern California resident and settled in the Inland Empire area. During this time my wonderful wife and I raised four sons who have now started their own families. We are blessed to have nine beautiful grandchildren. My wife and I were actively involved (and still are) in Christian ministry and community projects. After achieving a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Master of Divinity (MDIV) degree, in 1991 my wife and I moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania so that we could pursue post-graduate studies. During the time I worked as a high school teacher and served as a senior pastor in the Philadelphia area for eleven years. Upon the birth of our first grandchild we relocated back to California in 2002 and settled in Hesperia, California. I currently carry the following professional designations: National Association of Realtors California Association of Realtors Member of the National Notary Association Public notary agent Certified signing notary agent President of the Hesperia Centennial Lions Club Licensed property and casualty insurance agent It would be my honor and pleasure to assist you in achieving your desires in selling your house or purchasing a new home. Even if you only have questions, please do not hesitate to call, text or e-mail me so that I can assist you. Sincerely, Bruce Jarvis Realtor with Century 21 Desert Rock CalBRE# 02053219 Business cell: 760-217-3278 bruce.jarvis@century21.com
