Personal Information:
“Latino Professionals is a powerful platform that empowers our community by providing the tools, resources, and support necessary to achieve both personal and professional success.” – Ricardo Peinado Jr.
Ricardo Peinado Jr., the President of Suntender Valuations, is a dedicated leader in the real estate industry who is driven by a strong passion for helping people achieve their dreams of homeownership and financial freedom.
As a first-generation Mexican American, Ricardo’s journey to success has been marked by determination and hard work. Despite facing challenges such as learning English at a later age and growing up in a traditional Mexican household that emphasized values of God, family, and hard work, Ricardo emerged as a trailblazer. He became the first man in his family to graduate from college, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information System from San Jose State University.
Ricardo’s commitment to fostering homeownership opportunities led him to establish Suntender Valuations, an Appraisal Management Company (AMC) that goes beyond the conventional. Suntender Valuations was founded with the purpose of supporting mortgage lenders and clients in obtaining quality appraisals while prioritizing exceptional customer service. Unlike traditional AMCs, Suntender Valuations operates with a 24/7, 365-day customer service support model, adapting to the speed and dedication required in today’s real estate industry.
Ricardo’s dedication to supporting Latino homeownership shines through in Suntender Valuations’ mission. The company provides Appraisal Management Services to top Latino lending mortgage companies, contributing to the growth of Latino homeownership. As a minority-owned Mexican-American company and an active member of NAHREP, MBA, CMBA, and NAMMBA, Suntender Valuations is deeply invested in providing bilingual support and excellent service to its clients.
With over 25 years of experience in real estate, Ricardo strives to help others achieve the American Dream of homeownership and create financial freedom. Ricardo’s professional goals encompass empowering individuals to establish financial freedom through various investment opportunities.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Ricardo finds joy in spending time with his wife and three children, along with extended family and friends. Sharing the belief that “God is Great,” Ricardo’s personal journey is anchored in faith, family, and the pursuit of making a positive impact.
