The Pickford House, Agustin
Agustin was born in Michocán, Mexico, and immigrated to the United States thirty years ago. As soon as he arrived, Augustin realized this country was full of opportunities. He worked hard to take advantage of every opportunity presented to him.
For twenty-eight years Agustin managed his own electronic repair business in Santa Maria. He also recently acquired Pickford House, a mansion vacation rental in Cambria. He contacted SCORE and met Jack Luxton and Brad Spahr, who became his SCORE mentors. Agustin credits their “wonderful advice helping me be successful. I am thankful for their support throughout this journey.”
The previous owner of The Pickford House, Marcy Forgrave, was also supportive and taught Agustin how to manage a vacation rental business. With all the knowledge he acquired from his mentors and through his own research, Agustin is proud to say he’s been successfully operating The Pickford House for a year and a half.
Built-in 1983, The Pickford House evolved from a high-end Bed and Breakfast to something unique. Allowing only one group per booking, this is a perfect place to spend quality time with family, friends, coworkers, and just about anyone. When the house is vacant, Agustin and his wife Ana Elizabeth spend time in Cambria, making improvements for incoming guests. He is grateful for the support received from his wife and daughters since beginning this journey. As Agustin says, “I’ve learned through hard work and discipline you can achieve anything. I never imagined myself in the position I am in today. I thank God for giving me this opportunity to start this business with my family.”
