Manzanita Story

 

Manzanita Ventures is a full-service real estate company, located in Manteca and serving San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties.  



Providing five distinct services – residential resale, property management, commercial brokerage, interior design/space planning and custom building/remodeling – Manzanita Ventures’ comprehensive approach to real estate business is steadfastly based upon client commitment and customer-driven focus. Although in its infancy as a start-up company, Manzanita Ventures collectively boasts myriad years of industry experience amongst its core team members, each bringing lengthy individual expertise related to specific service areas.  



Co-founder Suzanne Candini’s deeply rooted professional presence for more than 25 years in the Central Valley building and real estate industry has established Manzanita Ventures with the desired credibility not usually afforded to such start-ups. Most notably, her 16 years with Stockton-based Florsheim Homes as president and CEO, as well as being a co-owner, provided her the landscape in which she established her exacting leadership qualities and prolific business acumen.  Her hand-selected team reflects her own commitment to making Manzanita Ventures a success.



Joining Ms. Candini on the Manzanita Ventures leadership team are co-founder Rachelle Souza,  Nikki Mimms, Alice Campbell, Mariann Reynolds, Dawn Sadlowski, Debra McCrory, Brittany Crawford, Terri Fagundes & Elle Lewis. Collectively, each brings their own specialized backgrounds, fitting nicely into a team dynamic and complementing one another’s skill sets.
