"I've been in the industry ever since." Today, a licensed real estate broker with over two decades at the forefront of real estate finance, Hagestad remains a heavy hitter. He has built one of the top lending teams in the nation, serving all of the beach cities and greater South Bay area under the moniker "'e South Bay's Home for Home Loans."

" The mortgage business is just like a sport in the sense that it's performance- based. In baseball, either you get hits or you don't—nobody else does it for you.

As he explains, "People don't refer somebody unless they're confident that person's going to deliver." With Regan Hagestad, clients always have a champion in their corner.
