Windermere Real Estate SoCal has opened its doors to its new Carlsbad office located at 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, Suite 217, bringing the number of San Diego County Windermere offices to six, including Carmel Valley, La Mesa (2), Solana Beach, and San Diego Downtown, with additional locations planned for later this summer.
“Windermere SoCal has, with its legendary service over the past decade, developed a broad base of satisfied buyers and sellers, first across the Coachella Valley, and now, across the Southern California coastal region,” says Bob Deville, co-owner, Windermere SoCal. “We’ve set the bar very high for ourselves, and thanks to our exceptional family of dedicated, professional Realtors® , I believe we’re surpassing our clients’ expectations.”
Robin, a Columbus, Ohio, native, and a graduate of Ohio State University, came to California at 24 years of age, and hit the ground running. An avid sports fan, she applies her love and understanding of football to her impressive career in high end real estate. Using terms such as ‘game changer,’ she is both a calming force and the spark plug that makes it happen with her team and with her clients. She has been described as ‘the player on the field who can affect the outcome of a game by sheer will and tenacity.’ Robin works to change lives in many ways: by volunteering with Soroptimist she helps young women achieve their dreams of attending college; she also works to raise funds to help feed the hungry in her community. But perhaps where Robin is the most consistent game changer is in her career as a leading real estate professional in Coastal and South Orange County; her knowledge and mastery of the market is exceptional, building upon her background in finance and home loans.
“My team and I can move mountains for you,” she says. “We show up prepared, and we leave it all on the playing field…our credo is Go Big or Go Home.”
Daniel has, over two decades, built a reputation based on trust and integrity, earning numerous industry awards and placing him in the top 1% of real estate agents nationally.
Providing far more than just listings and tours, Daniel’s unyielding work ethic ensures the best service for each client and situation. “Our industry is changing,” Greer says. “To succeed in today’s market requires more than just placing a sign on the lawn. I work hard to earn the trust and confidence of each client, proving to them that I treat and sell every home as if it were my own.”
