Full Service Gas Stations Are Gone, But Full Service Real Estate is Alive at Windermere
Posted by Mark Loscher | Currently 1 Comment »
How many of you remember the true “full service” gas stations?
Well, I do.
For those of you who do not, let me fill you in, no pun intended.
Full service gas stations are a thing of the past, in California anyways. But not to long ago you could drive into your favorite gas station, say hello to a friendly gas station attendant, sit back, relax and let him or her, do all the service work.
What a concept!
They would ask you which grade of gas you’d like to have. They would check your oil levels for you. They would even check your tire pressure. Oh, and guess what? They would even wash your windows, without being asked. Wow, now that was service!
Unfortunately, that kind of service in the gas station business is a thing of the past, by and large.
In the Real Estate industry we are in danger of the same thing happening, if we aren’t careful. More and more companies are losing that personal touch, not only with their clients, but with the agents who work for them.
Not to long ago almost all Real Estate companies provided full service to their agents. They would provide a desk, a phone, a computer to work from, fliers, marketing materials, training, management support, and the latest technology products and support.They would have managers and administrative people available, 24/7 to help with a number of issues relating to helping the client.
Sadly, this too seems to be going by the way of the gas station and too many companies today focus on the number of people they hold licenses for, they focus on how many deals they produce, and they focus on themselves rather than on the client and the agent.
At Windermere we are a little old fashioned I guess, when it comes to service. We still believe it is very important to provide all of the support and tools that we can for agents, so they can provide the very best full service to the client.
We do provide all the tools, the technology, the administrative and management support, 24/7, to help our agents be the best they can possibly be. We understand the need to be on the cutting edge of technology and we are in so many ways, but not at the cost of that personal one on one touch that is so important in our people first industry.
Let us not forget that computers, phones and gadgets have been invented, developed and provided to assist us in our one to one personal business, not to replace it. The client and the agent need to have that personal interaction. They need to have that one on one conversation about the most important investment they are likely to make, a home. Just as an agent needs that same kind of relationship with their Broker and support staff.
At Windermere we value those relationships with our agents and the client.
We will continue to lead in our industry with the tools, the support, and the, yes, the “service” to our agents and ultimately to the client.
Check it out and see for yourself. I know that the support you need, we have.

You met “Joe The Plumber”, Now Meet “Joe the Realtor”
Posted by Carole Ferris | Currently 6 Comments »
After the latest round of Presidential debates, we are all very familiar with “Joe the Plumber“. Now I’d like to introduce you to another Joe.
Meet Joe, the Realtor.
When you work with a Windermere agent, you will know who Joe the Realtor is…
Joe the Realtor is an agent who holds himself to the highest of ethical standards, integrity, honesty, knowledge and dedication. Joe the Realtor keeps his clients needs above his own at all costs.
How many times has Joe the Realtor not been able to have dinner with his family because his clients have called and must see the house right now? Or how about that wedding Joe was looking forward to? His clients showed up a week early from out of town and Joe the Realtor had to miss the wedding of his good friend.
Joe the Realtor, represents Windermere as the “nimble, brainy contender with a good heart, a stubborn allegiance to integrity, and a belief in the power of trusting human relationships.” A description given by John Jacobi, founder of Windermere.
Joe the Realtor has wisdom and is a smart man. Joe the Realtor believes in serving his community and giving back to his community.
When you liken Joe the Realtor to a used car salesman, you better think again.
Windermere’s Joe the Realtor is a cut above the rest. Don’t settle for the rest…call the best!
Whether you are looking to work with a “Joe” or join a company full of them, give me a call. You can reach me at (760) 434-4340; I’d love to speak with anyone who shares these values and dedication to their community.

Windermere Exclusive Properties Starts the Year by Giving
Posted by Erica Vautier | Leave A Comment »
Windermere’s commitment to serving the community goes beyond providing buyers and sellers the best in real estate services. Every time a Windermere sales associate sells a home, a portion of the commission goes to the Windermere Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving back to local charities.
“At Windermere, every transaction counts,” said Principal Broker and Windermere co-owner Jim Browne. “I’m proud to be part of a company that places such a high value on giving back to the community. And I am even more proud at how our agents embrace the spirit of giving back.”
On top of the money donated from every real estate transaction made through Windermere, the agents also participated in numerous events in the community. This past year you could find Escondido agents sitting outside their office on Friday nights working at Cruisin’ Grand. They hosted a mobile blood drive, gave mini concerts and hawked hot dogs and water bottles.
As a result of their efforts, Escondido Branch Manager Ron Brownell, and his team of agents, were able to donate $1000 to the local charity Rebuild Escondido, an organization established to assist victims of the October firestorm in the Escondido area.
Meanwhile, Windermere agents from the Carmel Valley office organized a book drive to help build the library at the new East Ocean Air Elementary School. Realtors Shapar Ostovar, Jean Wilson, Peggy Chomas and Dara Chantarit, who coordinated the book drive, collected nearly 500 books for the school.
Contributions from Windermere agents and the public have allowed Windermere to distribute more than two million dollars annually in recent years. Windermere started 2008 by giving and looks forward to another year of enriching lives in our communities.
