That career has continued to expand since 2001 into different businesses, all building a strong foundation through extraordinary service, accessibility and a wide range of experience. His commitment to extraordinary service is founded on the mindset that business is fundamentally about people and taking a customized approach; first to listen and understand client goals and then to educate clients with the best options to make right decisions for themselves and their family.

After analyzing thousands of client’s personal and business tax returns and asset portfolios he will often meet with clients CPAs and Financial advisors resulting in understanding leading to long term financial security. In the same regard, conferring with clients’ attorneys has led to extensive work in divorce, trusts, mitigation finance, bankruptcy, business disputes, foreclosure, eviction, and tax law and being qualified by California superior courts as an expert in real estate financing.

The degree to which Bodhi devotes himself to meeting each and every one of his clients needs shows in all aspects of his service. This service extends beyond the office doors as his resourcefulness and deep connection to the community allows Bodhi to direct clients to a vast network including legal, financial, advisors, contractors etc.
