It is now a vibrant and exciting neighborhood.”Leaving his 10-person successful real estate business called The Peargin Team in Atlanta under the guidance of his sister, Kristi Peargin-Mueller, Peargin and has relocated to the city.Peargin, earned his real estate license in 1992 and headed to Atlanta where he said it “presented great opportunity and the cost of living is very affordable.” After building his team and portfolio, he decided it was time to come back to San Francisco to work the City.
