Three entry points

Wherever you're starting, there's a path in.

01

Condo as your entry point

Not ready for a single-family home yet? A condo can be the first rung on the ladder — building equity now instead of paying someone else's mortgage.

02

Single-family with ADU potential

Buy a house with room to add an accessory dwelling unit — rental income to help offset your mortgage, or long-term investment value you build into the property from day one.

03

2–4 units, "house hacking"

Buy a small multi-unit property, live in one unit, and let your tenants help cover the mortgage. One of the fastest ways to step from homeowner into investor.

How I work

Education first. Transactions second.

"I don't just want to help you close on a house. I want you to understand exactly what you own, why it works for you financially, and what your next move could be."

That's the throughline across all three paths — whether it's your first condo, a single-family home with ADU upside, or a 2–4 unit house hack. You leave the process as someone who understands real estate, not just someone who signed paperwork.

About Franky

Third generation. Same city his whole life.

Franky J. Lopez, Realtor with Sage Real Estate

Franky J. Lopez — Realtor, Sage Real Estate

Franky J. Lopez is a Realtor with Sage Real Estate, born and raised in Long Beach. He's a 3rd-generation Long Beach native, has lived in nearly every part of the city, and attended the same Christian school from 3rd grade through graduation.

He got into real estate watching his father, who never graduated high school, build a five-property portfolio and use it to launch his own company. That example shaped how Franky works with clients today: as their Realtor first, guiding every transaction with the same care he'd want for his own family — and as a Long Beach property investor himself, so he understands ownership from both sides of the table.

Franky is newly married and expecting his first child in January — building his own family's foundation the same way he helps clients build theirs.
