History
Established in 1987.
Having been an active participant in the management of the family beef cattle business from a very young age, Tony Souza has been involved with buying and selling land for over 55 years. In the early 1980's, Tony became involved in leasing land for electricity generating windmills on the Souza properties. Neighboring property owners asked Tony for advice, so in 1984 Tony earned his real estate broker's license, formed Souza Realty, and began representing land owners in windmill lease negotiations, among other business pursuits. Sensing the impending growth facing the Central Valley, upon Mike Souza's return from college in late 1987, Souza Realty and Development, Inc (SRD) was formed.
