The life of Carolina Shreve is a story of entrepreneurship.

At the young age of 12, one of Carolina’s favorite things to do was read the “big” newspaper on Sundays – The Los Angeles Times.  Unfortunately for Carolina, her family members often got first dibs: Dad took the Sports & Business sections, Mom read the Currents & Lifestyle sections, and her older brother got the Comics.  Carolina was left with the classifieds.  It’s through her perusal of the ads that she learned about the prices of businesses, homes and cars and at which point grand dreams began to grow.

After completing high school, Carolina moved to San Diego and promptly enrolled in real estate classes before taking the real estate exam.  With a license under her belt, Carolina realized she needed some years of experience before actually working in the industry, so began several businesses of her own and learned the ins and outs of business ownership.

When she was 30, Carolina enrolled at San Diego State University to obtain a Bachelors Degree in Financial Services.  After graduation, she used her degree and previous business experience to begin consulting for small businesses and then embarked on a new career by working for one of the largest business brokers in town.  After learning that the best way to sell businesses involves building strong, trusting relationships with the business owners, Carolina obtained her brokers license and began her own company.

The RIBOC Group opened its doors in April of 2004 with just one agent – Carolina.  Now boasting a team of 13 agents who have 50 years of combined experience buying and selling businesses, The RIBOC Group is San Diego’s fastest growing business brokerage.  And, Carolina Shreve is a model for every entrepreneur, every kid with a dream.
