Women’s Council of Realtors
Posted by Carole Ferris | Leave A Comment »
I have enjoyed being a member of Women’s Council of Realtors….why?
The local chapter of North County San Diego regularly offers business building events…round table discussions, featured speakers and marketing meetings. The speakers are offer current knowledge of the local area in market conditions, new laws and requirements, trends, motivational speakers and updates regarding what the public wants and expects from Realtors. We are not only attend these meetings but we can enjoy a lovely lunch with other professionals. There is still a lot to be said about face to face interaction.
Women’s Council of Realtors has an online presence…check out: www.WCR.org you will be glad you did when you see all the information to assist you in growing your business.
Women’s Council of Realtors has an online Referral Center…one of my past colleagues just recently located me through this site.
These are just a few of the advantages you will realize when you are a member…and the fun events…just to name a couple of them…Day at the Races…Wine and Jazz…and best of all…we help support local charities.
I hope to see you at our next luncheon on the 19th of March. Our lunches are the 3rd Thursday of each month….and oh…”Rockin’ Realtors”…sure do not want to miss out on the happy hours…this month is March 5th 5:30 to 7:30…Bistro West, the hot spot in Carlsbad.

Looking for your “Home Away from Home”?
Posted by Carole Ferris | Leave A Comment »
So often when real estate companies attempt to acquire new and experienced agents to join their company, the company tells the agent all about the company and not what the company can do and will do for the agent.
It is a scary thing to make a change, but we all know that with change comes growth.
At Exclusive Properties we tell agents what we can and will do for them!
- We offer one on one coaching. Coaching is a great tool for accountability and most times agents get a real “kick start” from coaching
- We have a team spirit. Our office meetings are full of valuable information and immediately following our office meetings…we all go as a team to caravan our newest listings…we do this to be the best agents (knowing inventory is a must!) and to support each other. Remember how fun it is to have a new listing?
- We at Exclusive Properties offer the lowest E and O insurance with great coverage.
- We at Exclusive Properties have the most knowledgeable well, if not the MOST knowledgeable, then one of the MOST knowledgeable Brokers in all of San Diego, Jim Browne. Jim is not only a wealth of information but he is also accessible! Jim is available for his agents (and managers) nights and week ends, too!
- We have state of the art technology. And we are ever improving. Thanks to one of our managers, Rich Johnson, who is quite accomplished in this area as in many more areas.
- We have experienced Transaction Coordinators
- We have four offices strategically located in San Diego County and One Key fits all Four offices. This is wonderfully convenience for not only our agents but also our clients.
- We at Exclusive Properties are not corporate America! We are more like a family.
So, when you are looking for that new “Home Away from Home” be sure to give one of us a call and we will be honored to meet with you and show you what we can do for you! Not what you can do for us! Your clients will be happy you are working with a company that cares about them as much as you do…

2008 Wasn’t So Great?! We Will Help You Make 2009 Your Time
Posted by Carole Ferris | Leave A Comment »
At Exclusive Properties, we are committed in making 2009 your time!
We have the (or the closest to) the most knowledgeable Broker in all of San Diego County. What does that mean to you? A lot! You can call our Broker day and night and he will help you with whatever difficulties or challenges that you have.
Each office has a full time and experienced manager who you can call any time. As for myself, I have more than 23 years in successful real estate. I can be reached by our agents whenever they need to reach me. I assist them with difficult contracts and disgruntled sellers/buyers. I train our agents. I offer coaching.
I will not be in our agents way but I will be beside them every step of the way. I spread encouragement when an agent gets down. (Gets down?…Real Estate is not for the weak of heart or the thin skinned). Exclusive Properties prides itself on giving the best tools, the best technology and then we get out of the agent’s way. We are not a mega brokerage. We are more like a family. Our agents are not just a “number”…we value our agents and support our agents in every way that we possibly can…..
