The bio of Brandon Fairbanks 

I was born in Westlake California in 1974. My family moved to Oakhurst in 1988 as I was entering high school. I played soccer and football, was heavily involved in FFA, youth groups and every outdoor activity our area has to offer. After graduation, I attended Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and studied Agricultural Business.  

I was fortunate to be hired by Peterson Tractor, a Caterpillar dealership in the Bay area in their Sales department. In the bay area I met my wife Natalie and we had our first son Nathan. After five years in the Bay Area, we came to a point in our lives where we had to make a decision as to whether or not we should stay. We did not want Natalie to have to return to work and my commute along with the cost of housing made the decision clear, we were to move back to the mountains.  

This is when I decided to sell real estate. Our good friend, Cheryl Montecino, had just opened her own brokerage and was gracious enough to bring me in under her wing and share with me her secrets to success. I immediately took off in this business and recruited my mother Patty to join me as our business was growing.  

A few years later Cheryl gave us notice that she was retiring to Virginia. This gave me the opportunity to purchase the business from her. I am currently the Owner and Broker of Montecino & Associates. We have built our business based on a team concept to better serve our clients. We now have over 10 hand picked professionals and have doubled the size of our office.  

We have since had another son Kyle and daughter Lauren! My hobbies include spending time with my family, vacationing to the coast and our cabin, working on our ranch, and of course, building the business. I enjoy training and educating the members on my team to be successful in real estate and life. I also enjoy building homes and renovating homes to sell.
