Advancing Summit Enterprises
Bill and his wife Brenda own and operate Summit Enterprises, a residential commercial property investment company serving the greater Pasadena area for 40 years. Having built the business through service, commitment, and referrals, Summit Enterprises continues to satisfy clients with its responsive leasing and maintenance services.
After working in the banking industry for several years, Bill started the company in 1976. But his first entrepreneurial venture actually came several years before. “I purchased my first investment property when I was 19 years old, just out of high school,” Bill said. “My mother was my first lender! She believed in owning real estate and always encouraged me to achieve my goals.”
That set Bill on course to reach considerable personal and professional success, with Brenda by his side through the years. As their business has evolved, so has its lending needs. A former Bank of Manhattan client, Summit Enterprises began working with Plaza Bank following the merger in 2015.
