since 2019
OUR GOAL IS TO SET
THE HIGHEST STANDARD
OUR STORY
While working together side by side at a local locksmith company, Sean and Nestor forged their partnership through friendship, passion and honest work. After years of putting all of their energy into their work and providing a service filled with integrity, Sean and Nestor decided that it was time to come together and build a company of their own. A company that they would build from the ground up, and would continue to prosper with moral integrity and honest practices in mind, setting them apart from the others within the industry. On August 20, 2018, First Point Securities was incorporated and has since continued to flourish. They built First Point Securities upon a foundation of a strong, team based operation, reliant on communication, trust, pride in their work, a desire to grow while learning to create a meaningful camaraderie within the team.
First Point securities was first based out of one van and a garage. Putting in long hours during the 2018 Christmas week, Sean and Nestor outfitted their first van with the help of their family members. Grinding and putting feet to the pavement, business began at the start of 2019. Long nights and longer days led Sean and Nestor to the second pivotal moment of the business; the purchase of their second van. Workload doubled and a few months later was when First Point Securities landed a home office and their first full time employee. Even throughout the greatly unpredictable year of 2020, business grew at a faster rate than either founder anticipated. Even growing steadily, First Point has placed focus on the relationships built with their customers and their team, planning and looking forward to the years ahead.
