Selling Homes with Mom in Orange County

Friday, May 10th, 2013

The Orlando’s Family Tradition of Orange County Real Estate

Orange County Real Estate Team The Orlandos Windermere SoCal Agent

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!)

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.

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!”

Windermere Introduces Linda Earlywine, Orange County Managing Broker

Monday, March 4th, 2013

Windermere's Orange County Managing Broker, Linda Earlywine

Windermere Real Estate SoCal is proud to introduce Linda Earlywine as the new Managing Broker for their Orange County offices in Dana Point, Laguna Niguel and Laguna Beach. Previously a Windermere agent, Linda has assumed this position with the passion, energy and commitment to agent support that she is so well known for.

With over 28 years of real estate experience, Linda’s impeccable work as a real estate agent, successful coach to new and seasoned real estate agents, and previous experience as a broker/manager quickly came to Windermere’s attention. Linda has been recognized by a number of national real estate brokerage franchises for her ability to successfully launch new office locations as well as grow existing offices. Her office management skills and coaching contribute to significant increases in agent productivity. She is well known for her impressive recruiting ability and agent retention throughout Coastal Southern California cities, including Long Beach, Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley.

“One of the things I appreciate most about Windermere’s non-competing broker policy is that it allows me to focus my full attention on our agents. I love being able to help agents build and grow their businesses. At the end of the day, it’s about how successful we can make every Windermere agent,” shared Linda.

Linda’s management experience with agents covers the full spectrum from jump-starting new licensees to guiding top producers to attain even higher levels of production. For 9 years, Linda served as the Director of Career Development for two real estate schools, working with other national trainers and recruiters. During her 6 years as a Real Estate Coach with Tom Ferry, Linda trained not only agents but real estate brokers, franchise owners and other real estate managers—leading to the development of some of the nation’s top producers. Linda has a true passion for the industry, and Windermere is pleased to welcome her to their Orange County locations.

“I have found a great fit with Windermere. I really appreciate that the owners, The Bobs, are very successful agents themselves. Their knowledge of the many facets of real estate industry is derived from personal, hands-on experience, not rhetoric. They are entirely focused on the success of each of their agents, and their marketing savvy and presence is off the charts,” said Linda.

“Linda brings a tremendous background as a broker, trainer, manager, and as a successful real estate agent herself. We are excited to have her as the new Managing Broker for our Orange County offices and are thankful for her time with us as a supportive and successful agent. Under Linda’s informed and highly professional management, we look forward to seeing our agents continue to grow and expand their business,” said Bob Deville, co-owner of Windermere Real Estate SoCal.

Windermere Welcomes The Robin Milonakis Team

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
Robin Milonakis of Windermere Real Estate Dana Point 949-293-8331

Robin Milonakis of Windermere Real Estate Dana Point 949-293-8331

Windermere Real Estate proudly welcomes Robin Milonakis and the Robin Milonakis Team to its Dana Point office at 24921 Dana Point Harbor Drive #B220. (While space is being renovated, she is available at the Laguna Niguel office, 27611 La Paz Road, Suite D.)

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.”

With three new Windermere offices open in Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach, and Dana Point, we now enjoy terrific networking opportunities for our other Southern California Windermere offices,” says Deville. “There has always existed strong crossover between Orange County and the desert, and now we are better able to fully service both areas while continuing to expand and serve the market.”
