Agent Services
Hire the best people.
Give them the best tools.
Get out of the way.
At Windermere, we implement this founding philosophy every day through the introduction of new programs that raise industry standards and give agents the resources they need to meet the needs of buyers and sellers.
The Best People
Windermere’s sales force is our greatest asset and our associates include experts in all areas of real estate. We are a collection of interesting, passionate, committed people who truly believe in building vibrant and livable communities. Our agents are intimately familiar with their local communities, allowing them to provide knowledgeable and high-caliber real estate services tailored to the client’s needs. We’ve found that because we’re very selective, everyone is happier.
The Best Tools
Windermere’s structure allows offices to operate independently while retaining the benefits of being associated with a respected brand. As part of the Windermere network, our agents receive a variety of innovative services and tools— including technology training, marketing support and continued education —that they can put to work in their local market.
The Best Support
We are —most definitely— not micro-managers. We figure you know what you’re doing and we respect that. Our managers are trained to help you grow your business, not to run it for you. They are available to answer questions, introduce new tools, teach classes and even offer complimentary one-on-one coaching.
If this sounds like an environment you’d enjoy, we should probably talk.

Agent Spotlight: JEFF COLE, REO SPECIALIST
For Jeff Cole, what started as a passion for real estate investment is now a hugely successful — and still growing — real estate business.Jeff started as an investor in 1984 and became a full-time agent in 1995. He has spent the last 15 years fine-tuning his skills, being a top agent at both Prudential and Coldwell Banker and finally joining his latest venture in 2006 at Windermere Exclusive Properties in San Diego County.With an average DOM of 30 days, BPO accuracy of 99.8 percent to sales price and an impressive volume of $166.65 million, Jeff is managing just fine in today’s tough economic climate.”We have been busier in this market than many agents I believe mostly because I understand well the business of real estate and have an uncanny sense to see opportunity in every market,” says Jeff.
Jeff’s business is currently about 60 percent REO and 40 percent regular resale. He opened his REO division in 2007 in anticipation of the current housing market situation. Since then, Jeff has been the top Windermere Agent in San Diego County every single year. He has also received the “Five-Star Best in Client Satisfaction” award for those same three years. How did he manage it?Jeff puts it simply: “I love to help people reach their goals.”Jeff’s quality customer service includes Web-optimized listings on more than 40 major Web sites within 24 hours and include premium photography. He also has a “less than two hours” call return policy that clients love.
His stellar customer service record is enhanced by a solid list of credentials that include both the Certified Foreclosure Agent and Certified Short Sale Agent designations from Agent University.”I feel strongly that continued education is the key to staying ahead in this business and Agent University has useful courses,” Jeff tells us. “It gives me one more selling advantage over other agents and helps keep the saw sharp.”His profile on Foreclosure.com has also helped increase his market exposure.”Sharon Johnson with Foreclosure.com has been very helpful setting up my profile and making suggestions to grow my online exposure,” says Jeff. “Foreclosure.com is a useful tool to get my name in front of the distressed property consumer.”
With quality customer service skills and the education to fine-tune his business, it’s a small wonder that Jeff excels in this or any other market. He truly sets an example for the rest of us.
Great job, Jeff!

Bernardo Heights, a wonderful neighborhood in the San Diego City community of Rancho Bernardo

Bernardo Heights, a wonderful neighborhood in the San Diego City community of Rancho Bernardo
As we went for our early morning walk along Bernardo Heights Parkway Friday morning, Linda and I really started talking about what an exceptional place Bernardo Heights really is. Bernardo Heights offers so much to it’s residents…the Bernardo Heights Community Center, Paseo Lucido Park, swimming pools, tennis courts, walking trails, beautiful vistas…I could go on and on. Bernardo Heights was carefully designed and built in the 1980s and offers a number of uniquely different types of housing. There are apartments for rent as well as areas like the gated community of Fairway Pointe which offers custom built homes 2,500 to over 4,000 square feet. Condominium projects such as Mira La Paz, The Greens, Las Brisas, Las Floras, Masters Hill and Fairway Vistas offer homes with golf course views, one or two car garages, sparkling pools, and good neighbors. The gated area of Los Rios/The Village is an extraordinary area with a character of its own. Bernardo Heights is close to the newly renovated I-15 freeway and is twenty-five minutes from downtown San Diego and twenty minutes to the beach. Within a few minutes from the heart of Bernardo Heights one can find shopping areas, medical services, great restaurants, grocery stores, golf courses, and various recreational areas. And, of course, the weather is the best. But, nothing beats that early morning walk along the Parkway saying “Hi” to old friends, gazing at the beautiful vistas to the North and East and experiencing the hopeful sunrise of a new day.
Come and join us for a walk!

The Census is coming, The Census is Coming!

2010 Census to Begin
WARNING: 2010 Census Cautions from the Better Business Bureau
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau
(BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.
The big question is – how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don’t know into your home.
** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information.
Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS..
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
PLEASE SHARE THIS INFO WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
