Posted by | Leave A Comment »
Real Living Lifestyles has the pleasure of announcing Jeff DeChamplain as a 2012 Individual Top Producer, ranking #3 in gross commission income and #8 in most transactions closed. DeChamplain has consistently been in the top three in overall results for the past three years. This year his passion and dedication to his clients has also earned him the Gold award in the La Costa/Encinitas Office. The Gold Award is nominated and voted for by agents at the brokerage. It honors the agent whom other agents feel is most effective and professional, and whom they would hire to represent themselves. Jeff was also recognized by San Diego Magazine as a 5 Star Real Estate Agent. This rating is based on a survey of recent home buyers and industry experts to find real estate agents who scored highest in overall satisfaction. Needless to say, 2012 was a great year for Dechamplain!
For the past 11 years DeChamplain’s philosophy has been to deliver first class service with a servant’s heart. “I love the concept of team building my practice with like-minded professionals in order to attract more families to service.” he says. Working mostly from referrals has elevated his clients’experience, and today nearly 95% of his transactions are referrals from past clients. With a marketing degree from SDSUand a background in advertising, DeChamplain’s clients are provided with a high degree of experience. This translates into profitable results and testimonies like the one Lou Anne Kellman wrote: “I was referred to Jeff DeChamplain from a family member. When I met Jeff, I had a sense that he understood my vision right away. From suggestions on property improvements to a clear understanding of current property values for my neighborhood, I felt confident in his winning game plan. Our one-and-only open house was amazing with catered food andelegant live music – very classy. I consider this a huge win for us both in the current marketplace.”
Recently DeChamplain launched a new website, Real Estate Surf Report, where clients can access pertinent real estate information all in one place. Clients are able to use the website to search homes, be notified of upcoming listings, and pull market reports on recent activity in their neighborhoods, with the option to subscribe to monthly reports via email.
DeChamplain says, “I consider it an honor to service a full spectrum of clients from relocation to luxury and first time buyers and sellers. It is a true passion of mine to help people and I see myself as more of a consultant learning first and then educating and providing ethical service and advice. I pride myself on meeting and exceeding my client’s expectations by forming a partnership with them on their journey. The skill to listen to the wants and needs of my client’s is paramount.” He accredits his listening skills to the wise words his mother ingrained in him in his early years – we are blessed to have two ears and one mouth and if we listen twice as much as we talk we will learn twice as much.

Kim Carlson Announced As Real Living Lifestyles #2 Individual Agent For Gross Commission Income & Transactions Closed
Posted by | Leave A Comment »
Real Living Lifestyles is honored to announce Kim Carlson as their 2012 #2 Top Producer for the highest gross commission income and number of transactions closed of all individual agents at the brokerage in San Diego County’s 8 offices. She has been in the top one to three percent of agents nationwide as well as in her office almost every year since starting her career.
When Carlson was in college her parents used to take her to look at open houses for fun on Sundays after church. “That was kind of our thing and we really enjoyed it,” she says. Then when she got married she and her husband would look at homes occasionally. One day she ran into a realtor at an open house who looked at her and her three young children and said, “You can sell real estate part time and make a lot of money.” Carlson knew she enjoyed looking at real estate, but had doubts about whether or not she could sell it. She decided to give it a try, and after getting her license, quickly realized that she’d have to work more than full time to make any money! Kim was fortunate in the fact that she loved selling real estate. “That helped me to put in the hours that it took to be successful,” said Carlson.
Being in the real estate business for over 25 years, she has several short sale designations and is a Director of the Luxury Home Division at Real Living Lifestyles. Carlson has been nominated numerous times for Who’s Who in Real Estate, The North County Times Top Agent and 5 Star San Diego Best Service Award.
“I will continue to give my clients the highest quality of service available. I strive to be the Nordstrom of real estate as the majority of my sales are from repeat clients and the referrals of their family and friends. I love working with both buyers and sellers. I like all that is involved with the marketing aspect of selling homes and I also get great enjoyment from being able to tell my buyers ‘Congratulations, they accepted your offer!’” said Carlson.
Carlson’s future plans include staying on the cutting edge of technology in order to make sure her listings get the maximum exposure, thus insuring the highest sales prices. She is a “Negotiation Specialist” and makes sure she negotiates the best prices for both her buyers and sellers.
Working proactively and trying to anticipate what her clients want before they ask for it is Carlson’s goal. She has a licensed assistant that works for her at the office, keeping the business running while she is out showing homes, negotiating sales and closing escrows. Preferring the personal approach to answering phone calls and not having them go to voicemail, is just another quality that sets Carlson apart from other realtors. “What I promise I carry through with. I strive for service that my clients are so thrilled with, that at the close of escrow they refer all their friends and family,” Carlson said.
A few of her best clients wrote testimonies, “Kim is an outstanding agent. This was the fifth real estate transaction that she has represented me on…proof that if you place the client needs at the top of your priorities, you will be rewarded by that client returning and recommending other clients.” Steven and Deborah M.
“Kim was great! She sold our home for us in no time for a great price, and then helped us to find another home we fell in love with. She negotiated a great price on that one for us as well. She is the best and I always recommend her to everyone I know!” Jeff & Sonya S.
“It was a pleasure working with you in connection with the sale of my house. You were always very prompt in returning calls, gave me a very accurate prediction of what my house would ultimately sell for, and an accurate breakdown of what I would net from the sale. You told me just what I had to do to get my house into a condition that would be conducive for a quick sale, priced it right and sold it in no time at all.” Peter. D. Attorney
Kim Carlson works out of the Carlsbad Faire Real Living Lifestyles location and she can be reached at [email protected] and 760.434.6873.

Posted by | Leave A Comment »
Real Living Lifestyles is honored to announce Michele Massion as their 2012 #1 Individual Top Producer for Most Transactions Closed. She has held this honor of the highest number of transactions closed for four years. She is also #13 in highest gross commission income. In 2009 she was awarded #1 in sales volumes and in 2010 was #2 in sales volume. Also in 2009 and 2012 she was presented with the Gold award in the Carlsbad office. The Gold award is nominated and voted for by agents at the brokerage. It honors the agent whom other agents feel is most effective and professional, and whom they would hire to represent themselves.
Among all of her accomplishments she has also managed to earn certifications for Relocation Specialist, a Premier Service certificate, and accreditation as a certified REO agent. With her vast knowledge she also earned SFR Designation for Short Sale Specialist.
As busy as Massion is she still seems to keep her clients satisfied. Louis Konstas and Owen Glick wrote, “Thank you for representing us on our purchase. Your dedication to this business and your clients is unbelievable! You are amazing! Your knowledge and professionalism is what we believe makes you a top notch realtor.” Another client Peter Hark wrote, “Michele was able to match us up immediately with the right home for your young family. The first home we looked at with her was the one we wound up buying! Through the process she was professional, thorough, and prompt. She efficiently and quickly moved the transaction to close. Aggressive yet personable, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michele.”
It’s understandable that her clients recommend her with her great attitude and 24 years of experience. “My phone is never off, I follow through on everything. I never keep my client waiting and I’m very aggressive. I know what it takes to get the deal done.”
Massion was a stay at home mother who loved looking at homes, until she decided that wasn’t enough. With a lot of hard work and dedication she acquired her real estate license, while still taking care of her family’s needs. After all was said and done Massion feels she has maintained a successful career that has brought her to where she is today. “I love what I do. It’s in my blood. I just wake up and my thoughts are real estate,” she says. You can reach her at #760-455-8527, [email protected], and www.michelemassion.com.
In the future she plans to buy homes, fix them up and flip them. Once there is more inventory and the market feels right, she looks forward to flipping homes and working with investors more and more.

Ken Follis was Honored as Real Living Lifestyles #8 Individual Agent for Gross Commission Income !
Posted by | Leave A Comment »
Ken Follis likes to call himself a Real Estate Consultant, because he’s not just there to sell or buy a home – he’s there to inform and educate on a personal level. Ken keeps his clients informed on the trends in their local communities and counsels them on important decisions in this real estate market.
With Kens’ extraordinary success last year Real Living Lifestyles was honored to present him with the award for eighth highest gross commission income, establishing him as a top producer for the company.
Ken has been in the business with the fluctuating market since 1981. He has clients who have done more than fifteen transactions with him. On Truila.com his recommendations illustrate Kens’ invaluable service. Dr. Bruce Brown (buyer) says, “Ken is TRULY A SUPERMAN in all aspects of Real Estate. I can honestly say that Ken is directly responsible for my net worth to have increased by a factor of five since 2001. I refer Ken to my personal friends.” Laura Moeller (seller) says, “You are always so knowledgeable and make everything fun instead of stressful. Any questions or concerns I have are always handled immediately.”
Ken strives to give good, sound investment strategies. His personal experience as an investor enables him to give sound advice to clients who want to invest. He often advises small time investors to start with a single family home and then to a duplex, triplex, and so on.
Specializing in North San Diego, South Riverside, and South Orange Counties, his interests in real estate have taken him from single family and multi-unit residential properties to commercial and industrial properties. He says, “I consider all real estate an investment from someone’s first home all the way up to the very sophisticated multi property commercial investment.”
Currently Ken has established himself as the exclusive agent of The Ridge in Fallbrook, CA. The Ridge is accessed by a winding country road lined with majestic oak trees. Arriving at The Ridge through the lushly landscaped gated entrance, you will be inspired by the newly paved roads, panoramic views and the convenience of major utilities underground. Each property is more than two acres and you can design your own home or choose from one of the builder’s designs. The Ridge provides a peaceful environment that you simply have to experience for yourself. The Ridge is committed to creating a quaint enclave of distinctively designed single level quality estates, much like the feel of Tuscany, which was the inspiration for the street name “Via Montevina”. Ken can be reached at [email protected].
On a personal level Ken says, “Helping first time buyers is one of his greatest experiences I’ve been through.” Even with all of his success in real estate, Ken says the proudest moment in his life was the day, “my daughter handed me her son and said ‘Gavin, this is your Papa.’” Even with the title “Papa” his playlist still has eighties rock and Alan Jackson. A few of his favorite restaurants are The Ocean House in Carlsbad, El Jardin in Fallbrook, and The Fresco Grill in Bonsall. When time permits Ken plays Pickleball and attends performances at the Mission Theatre Play House. He is known for his love of cars. Ken’s father first introduced him to this passion. Ken’s three most important things in life are; #1, God, #2 his wife and family and #3, helping others.
Ken has a favorite quote from Henry Cloud, which sums up his life philosophy: “Integrity, the courage to meet the demand of reality.”
