Fa Karamzadeh is the Executive Vice President at Mariners Escrow, where he is responsible for driving revenue growth, fostering new relationships, and assisting the leadership team with critical operations oversight and management. His role involves developing strategic initiatives to enhance business performance, building and maintaining strong client and partner relationships, and ensuring efficient and effective operational practices within the organization.
Born and raised in Costa Mesa, California, Fa attended Fullerton Union High School and later graduated from the University of California, Irvine. His passion for sports was evident from a young age, having played tennis, soccer, basketball, football, and golf, with golf being his favorite sport to play. Sports played a significant role in shaping Fa’s life, teaching him the value of teamwork and hard work. They provided an essential escape from a challenging upbringing and instilled in him the belief that he could achieve anything he set his mind to, despite having fewer resources than his peers.
Fa’s career in real estate began at the age of 18 as a marketing assistant in the Newport Beach real estate market. Over the past 27 years, he has risen through the ranks to become a dedicated and passionate leader in the industry. His journey in real estate has brought him numerous rewards, far exceeding his initial expectations.
In 2024, Fa joined the Orange County Youth Sports Foundation (OCYSF) Board. His motivation for joining the board stems from his own experiences as a youth who dreamt of playing every sport but faced financial limitations. His parents, Reza and Fereshteh, who immigrated to the United States, worked tirelessly to provide for the family, making it difficult to afford all the leagues, gear, and transportation for practices. Through his involvement with OCYSF, Fa aims to make a difference for children like himself, eager to compete and pursue their passions. He believes that these opportunities will help shape future impact makers in the world.
Fa’s commitment to giving back to the community is reflected in his personal philosophy and his involvement with OCYSF. He defines the foundation’s mission as “To give those who want to compete in life, an early chance in doing so.” His leadership and advocacy continue to inspire and support young athletes in Orange County.
Fa is a proud father to Hudson and Delilah and is happily married to his wife, Cindi. He is deeply grateful to his parents for their sacrifices, which allowed him to chase dream after dream. Outside of his professional life, Fa enjoys playing golf and is known for his ability to dramatically improve his Spanish-speaking skills after enjoying a beer.
