Windermere Assumes Ownership of McMillin Realty Offices in Rancho Bernardo and Carlsbad

In a dramatic move that supports each of their company’s needs, Windermere Exclusive Properties is assuming ownership and operations of two McMillin Realty offices located in North County.
The agreement came as a collaborative effort by Scott McMillin, President of McMillin Realty and Steve Rodgers, the new President of Windermere Exclusive Properties who are long time colleagues and have run competing real estate agencies for over a decade.
With an eye toward expansion, Windermere Exclusive Properties President, Steve Rodgers, along with partners Mark Loscher and Jim Browne, the broker of record, came to a mutual agreement with Scott McMillin and have assumed operations of the two offices.
April 1st marks the official transition of ownership at both the Rancho Bernardo and Carlsbad offices as Scott McMillin passes the baton to Steve Rodgers.
The month of April will be the transition month and by May 1st, they hope to have the new team together and settled in.
In a twist of fate, Windermere Exclusive Properties President Steve Rodgers had been looking to expand while Scott McMillin was looking to reduce their footprint in San Diego real estate and focus specifically on the South Bay Market.
“The decision will afford us an opportunity to focus our financial and personnel resources to the South County real estate market where our roots began and where we have the largest real estate presence for both McMillin Realty and also our home building operations,” said Scott McMillin. “It will allow us to protect, defend and eventually grow again in the South County.”
McMillin was originally concerned with the future of his agents at the existing locations as many have been with McMillin Realty for over 15 years. Steve Rodgers has assured McMillin that all agents have the opportunity to maintain their position within their desired location and in fact would prefer they join Windermere Exclusive Properties as they continue to expand.
“It isn’t our goal to remove agents from a competitive market. It’s our goal to expand and offer them an opportunity to join an agent-centric company that utilizes some very progressive marketing tools,” said Steve Rodgers.
“I would like to formally welcome all McMillin Realty agents to the Windermere Exclusive Property Team. My personal opinion of this team has always been high and I know they are more than capable of producing sales and attracting listings. I have admired their success for years and I know this is a dedicated group of individuals with the experience and personal touch needed to succeed in today’s market.”
In a statement prepared by Scott McMillin to his agents he said “I believe his (Steve Rodgers) experience, knowledge, commitment, strong leadership and sphere of influence teamed up with your continued support and confidence will strongly benefit you as agents and your customers. Together I believe you will have many future successes.”

March 24th, 2009 Categories: Real Estate News
We are extremely pleased and excited to announce that effective April 1st, 2009, we will assume the North County offices and business of McMillin Realty. 
ribbonAs a result of the challenging real estate market and the economic recession, McMillin has decided to make a commitment to focus all of their resources in the South County where their roots began and where they have the largest real estate presence.
We are pleased that Scott McMillin found that Windermere Real Estate was exactly the right company to assume the responsibility of servicing the agents and clients they have been working with for years.
He chose Windermere and Steve Rodgers to take over the operations because of their combined commitment, expertise, knowledge, and strong leadership in the North County Real Estate market. This vote of confidence in us is a true reflection of the character and professionalism found and demonstrated at Windermere.
The two locations in North County include Rancho Bernardo and Carlsbad.
* Rancho Bernardo (Bernardo Center Drive)
* Carlsbad Village (across the street from our current Carlsbad Village office)
We will continue to look for valuable additions to our company as time goes by, while always keeping our eye on our culture and the professional standards with which we all work on a day to day basis.
We Are Making History!
