When, at age 21, he used a rental service to find a home and was unhappy with its handling of the transaction, he started his own rental service. “I ran that for a few years, got to know people in the apartment business and then partnered with a custom builder who built apartments,” says Caballero, who was ranked No. 1 individual salesperson in both transaction sides and volume for the 2013 REAL Trends/Wall Street Journal The Thousand, an accomplishment not achieved since REAL Trends has kept a record of those accomplishments.
