Our Mission

The mission of The Pearson Companies is to provide a profit for our clients, stockholders, and agents by meeting and exceeding client needs through integrity and professionalism with a focus on customer service as our primary product.

From Our President

John Stewart

Our agents understand the challenges of today’s farmers, farming families, investors, processors, and agriculture affiliates. Many of us own farmland or grew up driving tractors. It is in our blood. Our agriculture landscape is evolving, and we are at the forefront, helping our clients maximize their investments by being experts in farm and ranch real estate throughout California.

We look forward to working with you.

— Sullivan Grosz
President, Ag Division

A Word from Our CEO

Pete Orlando

Pearson Realty is a company that has built its reputation based upon our motto of "A Tradition in Trust". Repeat business or referrals from our existing clients comprises a bulk of our business. This is only accomplished by providing the expertise and service that lives up to our stated purpose. We are a community minded company, and in addition to providing real estate services, we take a committed approach to improving our Valley and strive to reach out even beyond our local boundaries.

We believe the Central Valley contributes a viable economic component to the state of California and we participate in many ways to help improve that economic opportunity. We have been in business since 1919 and after celebrating our 100th year anniversary, are looking forward to 100 more. We take pride in our longevity and the future sustainability in our company. We believe we are the experts in all phases of real estate from farm and ranch sales to shopping centers, office buildings, industrial parks and investment sales. The real estate future of the Central Valley is very strong and we are prepared to meet all of the needs of our clients in the most professional way with the most qualified agents.
