From serving my country on the battlefield to protecting communities on the streets, my mission has always been the same: serving others. Today, I bring that same dedication to helping families find a place to call home.
I'm Emilio Carrillo, Army Combat Veteran, former law enforcement officer, and proud co-founder of Hidden Gem Properties at Realty ONE Group Eclipse.
My journey began in the U.S. Army, where I served as a Sergeant in Military Police and Corrections, completed two combat tours in Iraq, and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. I later served five years with the Los Angeles Police Department before continuing my career with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office. These experiences shaped my leadership, integrity, and ability to navigate challenges with confidence.
With a bachelor's degree in Business Management and graduate-level business studies, I bring strategic thinking, strong negotiation skills, and attention to detail to every transaction.
My wife, Melody, and I are both Army Combat Veterans who founded Hidden Gem Properties, a veteran-owned, family-operated real estate business. For three consecutive years, we've been voted among Spokane's Top Real Estate Agents by the public through Spokane Community Votes. While we're grateful for the recognition, earning our clients' trust means even more.
Giving back is part of who I am. I've served as Vice President of the Hispanic Business/Professional Association, supported veterans through Heroes Homestead, and founded the Spokane Veteran Club to connect fellow veterans.
Outside of real estate, I'm a proud husband, father of two, and fitness enthusiast who values family and community. Having relocated to Spokane with my own family, I understand how important it is to find the right home and community.
Whether buying, selling, or investing, I'm committed to honest guidance, exceptional service, and making your real estate experience as seamless as possible.
