Posted by The Windermere Team | Leave A Comment »
Steve Rodgers, President of Windermere Exclusive Properties San Diego and Rich Johnson Branch Manager of the Rancho Bernardo office, spent the day this past Saturday at an annual Real Estate Expo which provided information and lectures to licensees in training. 
Hosted by the San Diego Association of Realtors/San Diego City College Real Estate Advisory Committee and held at the satellite campus of San Diego City college east of Downtown, the event was focused on providing potentially new agents a forum to listen to and meet representatives from different real estate companies and provided lectures and panel discussions from keynote speakers such as SDAR President elect Mark Marquez. “The turnout was impressive and to get a chance to see so many enthusiastic potential real estate agents was refreshing” stated Michael Rodgers, a Windermere team member.
At one point Steve Rodgers began to talk to a handful of people at Windermere’s booth in the lobby and a few minutes later he had more than 20 people listening to him. San Diego City College offers real estate classes which taken in progression prepare students to enter the real estate market. There were people from all ages and walks of life and one gentleman was a retiree who had several new ideas for creating his own new real estate niche. Another was a 19 year old college student from Turkey who had many questions and was impressive with his accomplishments and future goals.
For Windermere, it was an opportunity to provide value to the community. It was also a chance to talk to new agents and seek out candidates that would benefit and contribute to the enrichment of the company.

Why Windermere?
Posted by Nancy Canfield | Leave A Comment »
Why Windermere?
Winder-who? Windermere, the newest real estate office in town has attracted Nancy Canfield with its amazing programs, charismatic leadership, and highly charged environment. It is one of the largest real estate firms in the country. 
“From the moment you walk in the front door and hear the floor to ceiling waterfall, there is great chi – energy,” Canfield said. “I have always worked for an excellent company, but I needed to recharge myself, my career, and learn how to better navigate these difficult waters in Real Estate today.
Many of the agents we sit opposite in a transaction have only recently gotten their licenses, or, if experienced, are forced to work in a foreign atmosphere of short sales, auctions, and foreclosures. It takes time and lots of work to become adept at the complications of real estate transactions. Gone are the days where you can plunk a For Sale By Owner sign in front of your house, and wing it. Inevitably, with rare exception, the seller will leave thousands of dollars on the table.”
“Truthfully, I have resisted a lot of the new tools available on the internet, like Social Networking: Facebook, Twitter, and the like. But I’ve learned what they are and a bit about how they can supplement good agents.
I’ve always favored the personal touch, visiting clients, assisting in all of their moving needs, estate sales, finding a new home, moving into a retirement community, and I always will.
I liken my service to handknitting an Irish sweater versus one made on a machine. I guess, to complete the analogy, now I’m willing to use commercial buttons instead of handmaking them, too. Does that make sense?”
