About:
Carole & Manny Hernandez
Carole and Manny Hernandez were given special recognition for the year 2007.  At the national level within Prudential is an elite award known as Chairman’s Circle.  It is given to Realtors who achieve exemplary production figures during the previous year.  The Hernandez team has now earned Chairman’s Circle status for five years in a row, honored with Chairman’s Circle Gold for 2007.  As a result, they have been inaugurated into the select group known as Legend.

The couple met in 1963, and created and opened the Casa Tropical in Oxnard, on the way to Oxnard Shores, as a new business in 1964.  From 1964 into the 1970's, they ran this high profile Mexican Restaurant and Nightclub.  Customers danced to live bands, and enjoyed Mariachi music every Sunday, with an Amateur Hour for singers.  The program was broadcast live on KOXR radio, with some of the winners going on to lucrative musical careers.  Hollywood stars, field workers, the yachting crowd from the marina, and local families of all ages enjoyed the excellent food and filled the venue to capacity. Parties and wedding receptions abounded. “We ran a tight ship and it was a happy crowd, but as colorful as it was we realized the time was right to pursue our mutual goal of a career in real estate. So we sold the business and earned our real estate licenses in 1971.  Even after all these years we are still stopped almost anywhere we go by customers from the past who want to reminisce about the good old days.”

Carole obtained credentials in interior decorating from the Institute of Interior Design in Atlanta, Georgia.  She returned to California in 1963 and, along with running the restaurant, worked with Barker Bros. in Ventura in the late 1960's.  With this expert background, Carole has always been able to advise clients how to rearrange and “thin out their homes,” many years before the significance of “staging” was recognized as an important thing to do.

Both have their broker’s licenses and are Broker Associates at Prudential California Realty’s Camarillo office.  They are proud of the volume of repeat business and referrals that they receive. Carole is a Fine Homes Specialist and a Certified Relocation Specialist.  Manny is a Certified Real Estate Exchangor. They both work with commercial properties and 1031 tax deferred exchanges.  They specialize in Camarillo, Somis, Gold Coast Beach Communities, Ventura, Oxnard, Moorpark and the Santa Rosa Valley.
