For Terry Fernandez, happiness has always been a state of mind rather than a physical place. Born in Kuwait to Indian parents and raised in the United Arab Emirates, Terry’s international upbringing shaped his open-minded worldview and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. After moving to California post-COVID, he brought with him a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and the meaning of home. “Terry’s innate ability to cross cultural boundaries, lines, and presumptions makes him a great advocate for his real estate clients,” says Jeff Yarbrough of Jeff Yarbrough Group. With decades of global experience, Terry understands that every client’s story is unique and that buying or selling a home is about more than property—it’s about belonging. Real estate has become his anchor, a career that allows him to balance his adventurous spirit with his passion for helping others build something lasting. “As a Realtor, I find deep fulfillment in guiding people toward the spaces where they’ll create their best memories,” Terry says. Thoughtful, worldly, and grounded, Terry approaches each transaction with empathy and precision, ensuring his clients feel understood, supported, and at home from start to finish.
