Description

In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, we sit down with Greg Aguirre, President & CEO of Capital Rivers Commercial, to explore his journey from humble beginnings to building one of the most respected commercial real estate firms in Northern California.



Greg shares how he went from junior high handyman gigs to working under legendary entrepreneur Dale Carlsen, before launching Capital Rivers—a full-service real estate firm with a unique culture and scrappy edge. 



We dig into:

🔹 How Greg built Capital Rivers with sweat equity and relentless grit

🔹 His team’s "secret sauce" for closing complex real estate deals

🔹 A deep dive into the Sacramento CRE market—office, retail, industrial, and more

🔹 How technology (including AI) is reshaping the future of real estate

🔹 What’s next for the Sacramento region and Capital Rivers’ big vision



If you’re curious about entrepreneurship, real estate, or what it takes to build a winning company culture from the ground up—this episode is a must-watch.
