Raquel Ramirez

Fremont, California

Raquel Ramirez has spent the past 15 years owning and operating a variety of small businesses. After completing an associate degree in business at Hartnell College, Ramirez launched her first endeavor, the Simply Irresistible chain of retail clothing stores. At her three boutiques, which specialized in clothing and accessories for teenage girls, Raquel Ramirez purchased inventory, managed employees and locations, and organized and produced fundraising fashion shows for girls in the local community.

The next venture for Ramirez was the accounting partnership Accounting Pros, which she owned and operated for a period of almost two years. Drawing on the skills gained during her business degree, Ramirez provided a wide range of accounting services designed for small businesses, including monthly bookkeeping, financial statements, and tax returns.

Raquel Ramirez’s time at Accounting Pros also coincided with the beginning of her interest and work in real estate. For several years, the Fremont resident worked as a licensed realtor with California Realty and Financial Services, Inc., in Salinas. Specializing in buyer representation during residential property sales, she earned the title of the office’s top-producing agent for three years in a row. This successful start in real estate led eventually to her founding of Purple Sage Investments, LLC, a real estate financing firm located in Fremont, California.
