Hire the Best People

Windermere is not for everyone. Interesting conversation starter, don't you agree? But we think it's important to start right out letting you know that we made a choice to be better, not bigger. So, we may not be for you if you're looking to be with the biggest company, who has the shiniest business cards and flashiest television spots. We've found that because were very selective, everyone is happier.

We are a collection of interesting, passionate, committed people who truly believe in building vibrant and livable communities. Windermere agents are intimately familiar with their local communities, allowing them to provide knowledgeable and high-caliber real estate services tailored to the clients needs.  With the highest ethics and a team spirit, we are committed to making the real estate process enjoyable for everyone we work with.

Provide the Best Tools

Agents at Windermere Exclusive Properties have access to the most advanced tools in the industry.  (Not an exaggeration) We use cutting edge technology to arm our agents with powerful websites, automatically updated market reports, text message programs and the most comprehensive listing syndication system available. All in the name of helping agents, help their clients.

We are the only brokerage with a full service video division and professional green screen studio; we were the first real estate brokerage in San Diego to launch a company wide blog site; and we are continually pushing the envelope to bring our agents the best.   Our tools are so far ahead of the competition, you need to see them to believe it.

Support Agents and Clients

We are --most definitely-- not micro-managers. We figure you know what ' doing and we respect that. Our managers are trained to help you grow your business, not to run it for you. They are available to answer questions, introduce new tools, teach classes and help you with challenging transactions.  And they are not the only ones at Windermere ready to help you and your clients.

At Windermere, we work as a team. Our agents are supported by an expert staff of real estate professionals who are trained to make the buying and selling of homes a smooth and pleasant experience.  In our offices you will find:  Transaction Coordinators, Marketing and Advertising Directors, Professional Photographers and Videographers, Technology Experts, Loan and Escrow Officers, Contract Specialists, Office Administrators...  Just how good is the support at Windermere?  Well, you can call our Broker of Record on his cell on weekends if you need help.  Yeah, we're that good.

Save your Money

Tough economic times or not, nobody wants to over pay for good and services.  At Windermere, we don't believe in making money by charging our agents annoying fees to use our phones, sit at our desks or use our marketing tools.  Our E & O Insurance is among the lowest in Southern California (thanks to the stellar reputation of our Broker) and we can break it down into easy payments for added convenience. You'll find that our splits are very competitive and our Branch Managers will work with you directly to help you reach new levels of success. 

More than that, we go out of our way to hook our agents up with unbeatable tools for little to no cost.  Want a free website?  Sure!  How about free sign installation?  You've got it!  Would you like to be trained on advanced social media marketing?  No problem, and no fee!  Wouldn't it be nice to get a professional photography and virutal tours up front, but then pay out of escrow?  We think so, too!  Ever considered showcasing your listings on Realtor.com?  We pay for all our listings to be showcased, so stop writing those checks.  Need more?  How about a free text program for instant property information?  Authorship on our high traffic blog? Enhanced listings on SignonSanDiego? Altos Research reports? I'm stopping because I am out of space, not out of amazing tools!

Lead the Way

It's not always easy leading the way.  Sometimes you find yourself in uncharted territory relying on your faith and determination to get through.  For Windermere, it's been a winning strategy.  Did you know Windermere was the first real estate company to put an interactive property search map on their website?  Or that Windermere Exclusive Properties was the first brokerage to launch a company-wide blog site, give all of their agents authorship and teach them how to use the tool to meet new clients?

We are constantly exploring new ways to make the real estate business more efficient, more affordable and gentler on our environment.  On our intranet you can find a full electronic library of forms, available to you 24 hours a day.  We keep a live company calendar, syndicate our virtual tours, build rockin' email signatures, text message market and are very popular on Facebook and Twitter.   It's not always easy leading the way; but we are committed to staying ahead of the curve and are happy to take along any agents who want to join us.

Give Back to the Community

Were in the business of selling houses. But more importantly, were helping people find a place they can call home. Our commitment to service extends beyond each real estate transaction. Every year since 1984, Windermere associates have skipped work for a day to complete neighborhood improvement projects.  That's nearly 9000 agents in 10 states, all taking a day off to give back.  You can't help but feel warm and fuzzy being a part of this movement.

Were just like you; were active on neighborhood councils, ready to coach Little League, volunteering right next to you at the senior center. Because when it comes down to it, we live here, too--were your neighbors.  That's why every time a Windermere sales associate sells a home, a portion of the commission goes to the Windermere Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 1989. Contributions from Windermere agents combined with contributions from Windermere employees and the public have allowed the Foundation to distribute more than two million dollars annually in recent years to non-profit agencies.

One Key Fits Every Office

At Windermere, one key will get you into every one of our North County offices.  It doesn't matter where you choose to hang your license, we welcome you to come and visit us at any of our eight San Diego locations.  Our offices are equipped with fully functional business centers, professional printers, wireless internet and conference rooms with plasma televisions. This makes it ultra convenient to meet clients who live out of your area, interact with your fellow agents and update your key card when you're on the go.

One great way to get used to this "multi-office" concept is by visiting another office for a training class.  Once you see how you are welcomed in to every Windermere, you'll love the flexibility.  Pretty soon you'll be reserving conference rooms, getting to know other managers and expanding your network.

Have Fun!

If you aren't having fun at work, what are you doing?  We know you work to make money and we want that for you.  But we also want to make sure you are enjoying yourself.  It's a cold hard fact that the people who excel the most in their careers are the ones who can channel a passion while making a living.

The average person spends more time at work than they do at home with their family and friends.  At Windermere, we take that as a sign that we need to make sure our offices are full of energy and inspiration.  When you walk into any of our offices, you will be greeted with a smile.  We pack our office meetings with community quizzes, debut new tools and share motivational stories.  Our company parties are always a blast.  Whether sponsoring the Spring Fling Gala, hosting a massive sales rally or holding a wine tasting event, you can expect to have a good time because you are in good company.

Join Windermere

You think of yourself as way more than a real estate agent; you are a citizen-agent. You are actively involved in schools or Little League or maybe Rotary. You are curious, passionate, confident and love people. Your view of real estate is a calling in which you believe you are building great neighborhoods and communities. That's interesting because that's exactly how we feel. We love it here and want to surround ourselves with people who feel the same way.

Our offices are special because our agents share a love for San Diego and a dedication to better business practices. We want all the tools and programs that the 'big boys' have, but we have no interest in a dry corporate atmosphere with silly fees and out of touch owners.

If you want to work with people who share these values, we should probably talk.
