To Our Windermere Family:

As a real estate company – we find joy in helping people move their lives forward. Every day we ask ourselves, “how can we help our agents in staying connected to their clients and their dreams?”

While recent events might put our lives on hold, we know that your dreams aren’t – and they never should be. In a time where social distancing is becoming the day to day norm, we stand firm in our culture and beliefs that connecting people to their dreams is what it’s all about. Choosing Social Connecting over Social Distancing, and being there for you when you need us, and even when you don’t is what we strive for every day.

We strive to bring each clients’ unique vision of happiness to life with outstanding professionalism, attention to detail, and an over-commitment to service. We recognize the world is changing rapidly, especially over the last few weeks. We want to bring the highest level of service to you as clients and deliver meaningful innovation that helps you get closer to your dreams.

Despite the challenges that we are facing, significant business is still happening and demand remains high as rates are low and inventory is limited. Bringing tools and different means of communication is what keeps us connected in times like this. Tools like Zoom, GoogleHangouts, What’s App, and more keep us connected virtually and help us and our agents stay in contact and communicate with their clients during escrows, an array of appointments that may have happened in person, and more!

During this time of uncertainty, we want to be your constant; creating consistency and security in all aspects of life, not just real estate. Everyone within the Windermere family is here to support and assist through the spread of COVID-19 and beyond.

On behalf of our Windermere family across the west, we send our best for the health of you and your loved ones. You are part of our Windermere family, and we are here to support you! Much love to all of you as we get through this together.

Woman smilingTasha Manzano has been with Windermere Homes & Estates for a number of years. Since she started in 2015, she’s performed many different duties. Most recently, she served as the Company’s VP of Sales and Coastal Regional Manager.

 

As the industry has shifted and changed, so have the brokerage needs. To that end, Tasha is now focusing as the Branch Manager of the Del Mar office and heading up the Luxury Division, which includes the Premier Properties and W Collection programs, as the VP of Luxury Marketing.

 

As the VP of Luxury Marketing, Tasha is looking forward to continuing to establish Windermere Homes & Estates as a leader in luxury markets and set the brokerage apart from the competition.

Donna started out with the Company in an Operations capacity, and was vital in managing the day-to-day needs of the business. Later, Donna was promoted to the role of VP of Risk Management, where she has worked tirelessly to provide support and backing for each and every agent of Windermere Homes & Estates.

 

In addition to her current responsibilities, Donna is taking on the role of Branch Manager in Windermere Homes & Estates’ Carlsbad Village office. Donna brings with her a wealth of Real Estate knowledge and experience, and she is looking forward to leveraging this in order to continue bringing the highest and best level of service to the agents of Windermere.

 

*About Windermere Homes & Estates*

 

Windermere Homes & Estates has always focused on three basic principles: hire the best people, give them the best tools, create thriving communities. Collaboration not competition and building relationships with agents, clients and community partners has helped Windermere Homes & Estates become one of the top 5 brokerages in California. Backed by Windermere Real Estate, the largest regional real estate company in the Western U.S., including over 300 offices and 6,500 agents serving communities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Mexico. Last year, Windermere closed 87,000 home sales for more than $36.7 billion in dollar volume.

 

Windermere Homes & Estates donates a portion of the proceeds from every home purchased or sold to the Windermere Foundation, which supports low-income and homeless families in the community. What started in 1989 as a grassroots foundation serving families in need in Washington state has grown to encompass eleven states and has raised over $38 million for programs and organizations that provide shelter, clothing, children’s programs, emergency assistance and other services to those who need our help the most.

 

Windermere Homes & Estates was founded by Rich Johnson in 2013 and has been setting the standard ever since. The forward-thinking company has opened 17 offices and hired more than 500 agents with awards such as the Brokerage Achievement of Excellence and the Standards of Ethics, awarded by the San Diego Association of Realtors® (SDAR). Creating a “3rd place” for agents to collaborate and connect on a daily basis both virtually and in person has been a key factor in Windermere Homes & Estates’ success.
