Bodhi Kraus

Bodhi Kraus is a seasoned Real Estate Agent, Mortgage Broker, investor, and entrepreneur based out of Sonoma County, CA. Born and raised in the wooded hillsides of Forestville along the iconic Russian River, Bodhi only left the county to reside in Spain for 9 months and Davis to attend the University of California Davis, returning to run local businesses for his entire career. That career has continued to expand since 2001 into different businesses, all building a strong foundation through extraordinary service, accessibility and a wide range of experience. His commitment to extraordinary service is founded on the mindset that business is fundamentally about people, not deals taking a customized approach; first to listen and understand client goals and then to educate clients with the best options to make right decisions for themselves and their family. The degree to which Bodhi devotes himself to meeting each and every one of his clients needs shows in all aspects of his service. This service extends beyond the office doors as his resourcefulness and deep connection to the community allows Bodhi to direct clients to a vast network including legal, financial, advisors, contractors etc. Service is nothing without communication and thus immediate response for client calls, text, emails or in person meetings is the goal. That accessibility to clients and business partners is part of what sets the entire Empower Capital team apart. Bodhi believes in building and maintaining lifelong relationships which is why Empower thrives on repeat clients and referrals. Accessibility continues well after any given transaction ends, not days or months but years and decades. The well-rounded candid, strategic approach has made a giant footprint in the Northern California residential and Commercial Real Estate markets with over 1000 Real Estate Transactions and 300 million in gross sales in the past 15 years . After analyzing thousands of client's personal and business tax returns and asset portfolios he will often meet with clients CPAs and Financial advisors resulting in a vast understanding leading to long term financial security.
