About Castro Avenue

Welcome to Castro Avenue, where we believe that everyone deserves "white glove service" on their journey to finding the perfect home. I'm Michael Castro, and I founded Castro Avenue on the principle that buying a home should be a memorable and enjoyable experience, not a stressful one.

My passion for real estate started when I was a kid. Growing up around my father’s work in the building industry, I was fascinated by houses—how the same floor plan could be transformed into something unique and personal. While I initially pursued medicine in college, I quickly realized my true calling was to combine my love for real estate with my knack for marketing and advertising. I got my license in 2013 and hit the ground running, earning the "Rookie of the Year" award in my first year at the city's largest Keller Williams office.

My approach is simple: provide every client with the same quality and attention typically reserved for luxury transactions. That’s what "white glove service" means to me. It's about listening, making you feel special, and turning a complex process into a comfortable one. My work ethic comes from my father, an immigrant who built his business from nothing. He taught me to be direct and tough, but also to lead with kindness and integrity. I still turn to him for business advice, and I start every day with prayer, attributing my success and ability to navigate challenges to my faith in God.
