Armando Novelo grew up in and around the San Gabriel Valley, where he was raised by a single mother who frequently moved the family between Montebello, East LA, and Monterey Park before finally settling down in West Covina. He went on to attend UCLA, where he earned a degree in Psychology and stumbled into the mortgage industry while still a student 25 years ago. Today, he focuses on guiding first-time homebuyers through free workshops that break down available down payment assistance programs, while also helping existing homeowners navigate government resources to repair and upgrade their homes. Residing in Covina with his wife and two children, he remains deeply active in local real estate education and community outreach.
