Hi, I’m Dan Soto, your local Realtor with Century 21 Masters, servicing the communities of Beaumont, Banning, Calimesa, Yucaipa, and the surrounding Inland Empire cities. Before becoming a full-time real estate agent, I was a mortgage loan officer for a little over 10 years. I always enjoyed it and I enjoyed interacting with everyone involved in the mortgage process—from underwriters and appraisers to title, escrow, homeowners, and Realtors. I thrived in that busy environment, being on the phones, following up with people, and getting things done.

However, while I was stuck behind a desk, I would often see Realtors visiting our office with so much excitement for what they do, and I often found myself daydreaming about what it would be like to be out in the field, meeting with people the way they did. So when interest rates reached their peak in 2024, I saw an opportunity to make a career change and transition into real estate as a full-time Realtor—and I’m so glad I did.

Once I got into real estate, I realized that I was great at negotiating, and I was great with my customers. I realized that all the skills, training and experience I gained as a loan officer, make me a strong Realtor. I’ve always been passionate about high-end, quality marketing and all the steps it takes to get a home sold the right way. That’s why I decided to join Century 21 Masters, because I wanted to surround myself with an elite group of professionals that are the very best at what they do.

I cannot express how excited and passionate I am about my company. With Century 21 Masters, I have all the best tools and resources. I have the best team, the best leadership, outstanding talent, and I am very excited to bring all of these resources to the homeowners in my community.
