Jesus “Tony” Ibanez, Broker

Tony Ibanez

Tony left corporate America because in his words “life is too short not to do something you love.” And he loves helping people find the home that is just right for their needs! He gets many Triangle Area home buying and selling referrals because of both his results and his fluency in Spanish. He’s also proud to be an E-certified Broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

Originally from San Diego, California, he is a U.S Army Veteran who met his lovely wife, Cathrine, in Stuttgart, Germany. Tony worked in the agricultural supply chain for 20 years.

He and Cathrine, his wife of 30 years, have three grown children and two Olde English Bulldogs. His “hot topic” interests include following the financial markets and – after years of adding hot sauce to foods – finding a hot sauce that still burns!
