Gerardo Padilla joined The Agency La Paz in August 2024, serving La Paz, Todos Santos, Cabo San Lucas, and Baja California Sur, México. With over 30 years in real estate, he began his career in San Jose, California, as one of the first bilingual realtors. He provided mortgage financing, assisted clients through the buying process, and later specialized in luxury homes at Silver Creek Valley Country Club.
Originally from Mexico City, Gerardo began judo at age 9 and competed in his first Olympic Games at 17. At 18, he moved to California to train at San Jose State University, an Olympic judo training center. He graduated with a Business Administration degree focusing on Human Resources and competed in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
Before earning his California real estate license, Gerardo worked in sales for Yellow Pages, newspapers, and radio commercials. Once licensed, he expanded his expertise to include residential real estate, new housing, land, income properties, and investments. He holds the CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) and CLHMS (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist) designations, having sold top-market properties in San Jose.
Gerardo’s passion lies in helping clients achieve their real estate goals, whether through housing, financing, or investment. After years in California, he visited Mexico during a pandemic-related delay and fell in love with La Paz. He enjoys biking, tennis, snorkeling, boating, and exploring the beaches in La Paz.
