Stan Cross

Throughout his diverse career, Stan has been honored with recognition for thinking outside the box and has developed and led businesses and organizations in Virginia, Washington, and now California.

Graduating with honors in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech gave Stan the skills and insights to develop Holdren's, a retail appliance and electronics company, into one nationally recognized for its many innovations. One of the most important of those was his work in the development of the home theater concept. During that time, he conceived of, designed, and sold a very profitable 14-store rental company within a 4-year time span. He also volunteered as president of several influential community organizations that helped to improve the lives of many in Central and Southwestern Virginia.

After Holdren's was sold, he moved on to become the United States Director of Interdev, a small but influential international organization based in Seattle. Here, his primary role was to help generate funding from the United States to support Interdev's innovative partnership-building efforts throughout Central Asia. While there, Interdev's revenues more than doubled.

In 2002, Stan went back to school and graduated with a Master's degree in Divinity from Wake Forest University in North Carolina. The unique combination of education and work experience gives him a powerful perspective in real estate. Since moving to the Central Coast over 18 years ago, he has held key sales and management positions before becoming a Realtor. He offers extensive knowledge of San Luis Obispo County neighborhoods, schools, community offerings, market conditions, property values, zoning regulations, and other ordinances. He also enjoys superb working relationships with professionals in the areas of finance, real estate law, title search, home inspection, and appraisal.

Presently, he and his family live in the Five Cities area of San Luis Obispo County, and he represents Big Block Realty, one of the fastest-growing real estate brokerages in the United States.
