About the RE/MAX Al-Pro:
RE/MAX All-Pro was started by Peter Terracciano in 1990 during a real estate collapse in the Antelope Valley. Not the best time to start a real estate firm, you may think! What those tough times taught Peter, was that selling a home requires hard work, building solid relationships with clients, and constant education to stay one step ahead of the competition. His experience with the market during that time instilled in him a work ethic to evolve from a top agent in the Antelope Valley to a top Broker/Owner.
