Windermere agents from all over San Diego County participated in the 64th Annual Independence Parade in Coronado Island this past Wednesday. Windermere Real Estate SoCal made its inaugural debut as Float #104 winding its way down Orange Avenue during the 4th of July festivities.

“We received great audience response from the thousands of attendees along the route– lots of cheers and waves. Our agents are already excited and beginning to plan for next year’s parade,” said Kirk Gregor, Windermere SoCal’s Director of Office Development.

Agents, brokers and their families assembled from the La Mesa, Carmel Valley, Carlsbad and Solana Beach offices to prepare for the parade, building the float in La Mesa, deconstructing it for the transport over to Coronado Island then reassembling it again starting at 5 a.m. Wednesday morning.
