Trust. Expertise. Commitment. For Paul Shannon and Corban Holland, principals at Pacifica Commercial Realty it has been a winning combination. The full-service real estate brokerage and management firm based in Paso Robles serves businesses and property owners throughout the Central Coast. Their business is built on a foundation of enduring relationships, and a commitment to helping clients navigate important real estate decisions.
For Paul and Corban, having a strong banking partnership is a critical part of doing business. They need a bank that understands the details behind each opportunity, communicates clearly, and follows through.
“American Riviera Bank is the only bank I really recommend in this area,” says Paul. “They’re the only bank I really trust.”
For Corban, that trust comes from his experience working with other banks and seeing firsthand what sets ARB apart.

“American Riviera Bank actually follows through with what they say they can do,” says Corban. “They take the time to understand the deal, they’re upfront about what they can and can’t do, and they don’t waste your time.”
A key part of Pacifica Commercial Realty’s experience with ARB has been working with Tyler Flesner, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, and Neil Amarante, Senior Vice President and Senior Lending Officer. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to understanding Pacifica’s business have helped create a banking relationship built on trust.
“At American Riviera Bank, we take the time to understand our clients and the opportunities in front of them. Working with Paul and Corban has been a great example of how strong relationships and open communication can help businesses move forward with confidence.”

Their relationship with ARB extends well beyond commercial real estate financing. In addition to a commercial line of credit, the firm relies on ARB for a range of treasury management services, including ACH, Positive Pay, and Remote Deposit Capture, designed to streamline day-to-day financial operations and provide greater efficiency and control.
Over time, the partnership between ARB and Pacifica Commercial Realty has grown into a trusted relationship, and the company has even referred others in commercial real estate to the bank for their financing needs. This partnership reflects a shared belief that strong local businesses are built through strong relationships, personal service, and the trust that comes from knowing your banking partner will be there when you need them.
