Windermere SoCal’s coastal offices are hitting it out of the park these days, making a LOT of buyers and sellers VERY happy!  Permit us to drop a few names:

Vince Scuncio, Carlsbad office: Vince is listing 1-3 short sale listings PER WEEK! For those who aren’t quite sure what a short sale is…it’s where an owner’s agent can work directly with a lender to get authorization to list and sell a property for less than the amount owed. For the owner in that situation who is looking to sell, a short sale authorization can help. And for the lender, the reduced time and cost may make a short sale preferable over a foreclosure.  Short Sales can be a win-win!  Good job, Vince!

Though a short sale can be a viable option for homeowners and lenders with certain types of loans, the process requires an agent with patience and determination… and that’s when Carlsbad’s Jasmin Abdullah, Manny Lising, Ricardo Riley, and Chris Valdez pull off the seemingly impossible, bringing new life to the short sale process for their buyer clients. Show ‘em how it’s done, guys!

The Cliff Mensch group at the Solana Beach office is helping to keep the new housing inventory fresh throughout the region! In just the last 30 days, in addition to Cliff’s existing 55-unit Vista project currently selling, he just signed up a new 82-unit detached home development in the desert, an intimate 4-unit project in Hemet, and TWO luxury custom homes in Carlsbad. Zoom!

And then there’s Alvin Newton of the Solana Beach office, who just added another FSBO (For Sale By Owner) to his great list of clients. There are a lot of reasons why homeowners who try selling their own homes usually end up asking a licensed real estate for help: the legal requirements and implications of selling a property can be overwhelming to someone not trained and licensed, and the financial payback is clear (sales using licensed agents almost always result in selling prices that more than compensate for the agent’s commission!)

From the ‘Build It and They Will Live Happily’ department, we present Renee Reinert, also with the Solana Beach office, who excels at bringing all the parties to the table…developers, designers, and contractors, calling on her broad experience with land sales. Her buyer clients love her exceptional service and outstanding results.

For those not sure where they want to commit in today’s exciting real estate market, Judy Goldberg and Jill Stanger of the Carlsbad office have you covered! These two are the acknowledged Windermere Preferred Leasing agents for Coastal San Diego County.
