My office manager, Tim Metz, has helped me learn the ropes of the Relay system which enables me to file, expedite and track my clients’ documents while staying mobile.

The Orlando’s Family Tradition of Orange County Real Estate
Sari, Maryann & Greg
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions a family will make in its lifetime. The list of concerns and priorities for the family can be endless. Where do you want the kids to go to school? How long will the commute be for the working parents? Do we have enough room(s) for the kids? Is there a decent yard for them to play in? Sometimes it’s enough to make you want your Mom!
For some families though, the love of real estate is practically genetically encoded. At Windermere, we have several agents who work alongside or from the same office as their mother or child, but in Laguna Niguel, we have a family where Mom has inspired both son and daughter to carry on a tradition of excellent service and professional behavior. (And we’re pretty sure there was some work discipline taught too!)
The Orlandos at the Las Flores Elementary Spring Celebration
The Orlandos at the Las Flores Elementary Spring Boutique
The Orlandos are a unique family real estate team. For over 25 years, Maryann Orlando has been representing buyers and sellers in Orange County where she has earned a reputation for her integrity and vast understanding of the local real estate market. An expert in the purchase and sale of residential properties in South Orange County, Maryann’s knowledge and experience allows her to quickly determine the physical condition, market value and renovation potential for specific homes. Her personal associations with local schools, service providers and neighborhood amenities further extends her ability to assist her clients in finding or selling their homes. Maryann’s skills and abilities have been passed down to her children, Greg Orlando and Sari Ward.
In 2004, Maryann’s son, Greg, joined her in real estate sales. In 2010, daughter Sari Ward joined. “Having Greg and Sari join me in real estate has truly been a dream come true for me,” shared Maryann.
Greg Orlando & his family
Greg is a lifelong resident of South Orange County, born and raised in Laguna Hills. After graduating from Santa Margarita High School, he attended California State Northridge where he earned his degree in Communication Studies. An obvious asset to working in sales and interacting with his clients, Greg conveyed his education into a career as a Realtor® and returned to coach football at his alma mater, Santa Margarita. His work in coaching and communications goes a long way to enabling his clients to refine, set and achieve their real estate goals. Greg, his wife and daughter now live in Mission Viejo.
Sari returned to the South Orange County area after living in San Francisco for over a decade with her husband while she worked as the
Sari & son
Director of Operations for Salesforce.com. As Director, Sari negotiated multimillion dollar contracts, handled numerous vendor relations, and ensured that the company got top value for their purchases – all skills that she easily transitioned into assisting her real estate clients. Sari, her husband, and their two sons now live in Beacon Hill.
Maryann & one of her grandkids
At a recent marketing meeting with the Orlandos, the trade talk was fast and furious. From developing client’s searching parameters to a discussion of the record low inventory, you would not have gotten the impression that this was a family meeting. Each member brings their unique set of skills, knowledge and experience to the table. When asked if this was how the holiday meal conversations usually went, the answer was a resounding and unanimous, “No!”
The Orlandos hosting at the Ledgewood Street summer party
“It would drive our spouses and other family members crazy,” said Sari. “We could talk ‘shop’ all day if we were allowed, but you have to make quality time for your family.
Las Flores Elementary State Fair Fundraiser
This dynamic family is not only a powerhouse selling force, but a huge sponsor of the Las Flores and Rancho Santa Margarita communities. The Orlandos have been contributing stories to their local community newsletters, sponsoring and hosting events for the annual summer Ledgewood Street party, Las Flores homeowners association and Las Flores Elementary School for years now. They are firmly planted in this community and it shows.

Dr. Joel Kinnamon, President of College of the Desert; John Jaramillo, Dean of the College of Applied Sciences and Business at COD, and Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California discuss the new 2013 Windermere Scholarships at the College of the Desert’s Foundation Office.
As established members of the community, Windermere Agents and Staff keep an eye on the issues and concerns that impact the local economy, not only in terms of property values, but the educational and vocational pathways that lead to the viability of home ownership for residents and visitors alike. Their knowledge in this area recently helped identify a need to support local students in higher education programs at the community college level.
And from this need, Windermere Real Estate Southern California created their College of the Desert Student Scholarship fund through their Windermere California Foundation. For the 2013-2014 school year, four qualifying students benefit from these scholarships in three categories: Business, Economics and Real Estate Development. These scholarships pay for a portion of the students’ tuition and expenses, and allow students to focus on what’s important – their education.
Two scholarships in the amount of $2500 each will go to qualified students majoring in Business and Economics, and two $1000 scholarships will go to qualified students working toward a Real Estate Development certificate. These scholarships support full-time students taking 12 units or more with at least a 3.0 grade point average.
“Given the unprecedented state budget difficulties, now more than ever the contributions Windermere Real Estate Southern California has made are especially critical,” said Dr. Joel Kinnamon, superintendent and president of College of the Desert. “As much as we do for our students and community, we can do so much more with the financial help we receive from our COD Foundation through its dedicated supporters.”
Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California, said, “Windermere Real Estate is proud to support these new opportunities for the students of the College of the Desert’s Business, Economics and Real Estate Development programs. As the economy continues to improve, we felt that it was important as one of the Coachella Valley’s industry leaders to show our support and bolster local higher education.”
Since opening their first Coachella Valley office in 2001, Windermere Real Estate Southern California has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to local charities through the Windermere Foundation. Windermere agents and its employees support dozens of charities that benefit the community as a whole, whether that is through childhood and educational development or economic and social supports. And they continue to make a great impact on our community.

Windermere Real Estate SoCal was honored to receive a visit yesterday from Congresswoman Susan Davis, representing California’s 53rd Congressional District, at our La Mesa office. Our friends at La Mesa Today were kind enough to share their coverage, photos and a YouTube video from the visit. Congresswoman Davis spoke with Windermere SoCal co-owner Bob Deville about the current state and recovery of the housing market.
LA MESA — Congresswoman Susan Davis spent much of the day Wednesday visiting La Mesa constituents, gauging the economy and discussing issues with local business leaders.
Accompanied by La Mesa Chamber Executive Director Mary England, democrat Davis visited Carl Burger Dodge, Jejoni Signs and met with the owners and managers of Windermere Real Estate at their Allison Avenue offices.
Accompanied by Daniel Hazard, her San Diego field officer director, Davis has been getting to know her new, far-flung district better while hearing about the specific concerns business owners wanted to put on the table.
Windermere’s principal owner Bob Deville was quick to bring real estate’s greatest concern up: the mortgage tax deduction.
“It would be terrible to do away with that,” Deville said. Tax reformers and flat tax proponents have talked about eliminating the mortgage tax deduction, which Realtors, just recovering from the worst market since the Great Depression, believe would undermine demand for homeownership.
Davis told Deville she didn’t see, even if tax reform is taken up, that there would be a consensus in Congress for touching the mortgage deduction. It is, she said, central to the needs of Middle Class families still digging out from the recession.
Otherwise, the realtors told Davis things were improving quickly in the housing market though they recommended needed tweaks to the regulation of new home loans (see video below) which have made it more costly and too difficult for some qualified homeowners to enter the housing market. Realtors also suggested changes to the reverse mortgage financing.
“But overall everything is moving in the right direction,” said Kirk Gregor, Windermere’s director of office development. “The real problem is inventory. Every deal has five or six offers. But that has stabalized things and homeowners are starting to see real equity return to their homes. That’s a good thing.”
The Windermere staff presented Davis with a number of La Mesa gifts and toured her through their offices, which the company built out of a vacant bank facility.
Windermere’s La Quinta office has been involved with the Oasis Elementary School for several years. They have adopted three of the four 4th grade classes, plus the Special-Ed class. During planned visits each year, Windermere agents deliver much needed school work essentials at the start of each year; yuletide visits bring a soccer ball plus other gifts and goodies for each child, and a year-end visit in June augments the summer reading program. Each of these visits is overseen by La Quinta’s Managing Broker, Sandy Beakey, who shared, “Giving back to the community is what we do at Windermere. It is part of our philosophy – at the agent, office and brokerage level, including the great work of the Windermere Foundation.”
So when Camille Pfeifer recently emailed her fellow Windermere agents that her clients, Sam and Nancy Weiss, were willing to donate a beautiful Sohmer & Company Walnut baby grand piano, Roger Sullivan immediately jumped on the opportunity. Making numerous calls to local businesses, Roger’s end goal was to not only get the piano donated to the Oasis Elementary School in Thermal but to have it delivered in full glory – repaired, tuned and ready to play.
Roger successfully enlisted the help of On Time Moving Services of Cathedral City and Steve Salmacia of A 440 Piano Works in Palm Desert, who stepped up with a great response time and plan of action. Oasis Principal Dora Flores was incredibly pleased by the generous donation and the additional time and care that was put into helping restore the piano to its full glory. Dora shared that the school’s cheerleaders were already working on a routine to include the new piano and that’s just the beginning.

“My fellow agents have been extremely generous with their time and money. For me, just seeing the smiles our visits bring and hearing the thanks from the students for what we are able to provide them is a thousand-fold return on our efforts. It’s inspired me to stretch a little,” shared Roger, who has been a constant in the outreach efforts for the Thermal school.
Roger hopes that the restoration and donation of the piano is just a beginning to helping Oasis Elementary augment their musical resources. If you have a musical instrument that you would like to donate to the school program, contact Roger by email or phone, and he will make sure it’s put to good use.

Mike Miura joined Windermere’s Indian Wells Main office located at 74-850 Highway 111, but is no stranger to Windermere. Mike was previously with Windermere’s real estate office in Bellevue, Washington. Upon relocating to Indian Wells, Mike’s desire to return to real estate found him returning to Windermere. “Windermere attracts the best overall agents in the industry. I wouldn’t associate myself with any other office,” shared Mike.
Licensed in Washington and California, Mike’s expansive knowledge of multiple markets allows him a unique perspective for homeowners looking to relocate, sell or buy second or vacation homes. His insight and extensive experience working with clients during relocation allows him to make the transition seamless and enjoyable. Aside from locally representing buyers and sellers, Mike also volunteers at the Eisenhower Medical Center, various Humane Society outings and the BNP Paribas.

“We continue to be extremely proud and thankful that our fantastic family of Windermere real estate professionals propels us to the top of the market,” said Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate Southern California. “At Windermere, we understand the cycles of the real estate market and plan accordingly. Thanks to the hard work of our agents and staff we’ve had a great first quarter and a strong start to 2013.”
Windermere’s closed residential sales volume for the first quarter of 2013 came in at $422,801,057 – more than its next two closest competing brokerages combined. From Palm Springs to Indio, Windermere continues to list and sell more properties and homes in every city throughout the Coachella Valley.
First quarter luxury homes sales numbers show Windermere Real Estate Southern California with a total sales volume of $80,072,000, just shy of its nearest three competing brokerages’ combined sales volumes.
“A combination of factors, including the decrease in distressed property sales, historically low mortgage rates and lower inventory, have helped boost sales prices and home values in all price points,” said Bob Deville. “The result of this equates to encouraging news for both buyers and sellers who are looking to garner the maximum value for their properties.”
“Demand continues to be high with the renewed strength of the housing market and the growing interest in the quality of lifestyle to be found in our beautiful desert cities,” said Charlie White, Managing Broker for Windermere’s Indian Wells Luxury Homes and Estates office. “As a result, our fully licensed and educated agents are assisting their sellers in negotiating multiple offers and enabling their buyers to write competitive offers.”
“It has been an incredible first year,” shared Donelle. “The support that I’ve gotten from Windermere’s staff has been absolutely essential to my growing success. Bryan Arnold, my Managing Broker, has been a tremendous asset in guiding me through the process of getting out into the community and getting my name known in the Indian Palms Country Club where I work and live. My office manager, Tim Metz, has helped me learn the ropes of the Relay system which enables me to file, expedite and track my clients’ documents while staying mobile. Even though I’m not in the office every day, the support I receive at Windermere keeps me current.”
