Chris Trapani: A Senior Profile Portrait by Isabella Graziani (2014)

Chris Trapani started a successful real estate company in Los Gatos called Sereno Group, which has spread to other cities, such as Los Altos, Santa Cruz, Saratoga, and Palo Alto. He took a chance by creating his business, a chance that he didn't have to take. Chris was already one of the more successful agents in Santa Clara County, and from a well respected family living in Saratoga. Sereno Group's goal is not only to make a profit, but more importantly help the community around it. Chris tries to steer around the traditional corporate way of running a business and instead bases his business on the value of having a soul. In a field of business that is secluded and more about the individual, Chris Trapani tries to make his company a culture by bringing people together. I wanted to profile Chris because he is also an excellent example of someone who knows how to balance work, family, and staying true to his values. Whether it's his business, family, or faith, Chris strives to be successful by teaching people how to accomplish the same balance in their lives. I have learned that it is important to color outside the lines and use your creativity with the things that you have passionate about. Chris also taught me that balance is important and so is making time for yourself. I had a great time with this project and learned about about both Chris and myself.
