Windermere Exclusive Properties Grows and Gives Back in San Diego
December 12th, 2009 Categories: Community Events
Windermere Exclusive Properties has experienced and will celebrate a phenomenal year of change, industry challenges, success and growth within our company. However, we are not all about selling real estate.
We are committed and passionate about providing integrity, loyalty, customer care, real estate knowledge to our buyers and sellers and every transaction makes a difference!
Windermere throughout the West, strives to pay it forward to our communities. Windermere Exclusive Properties located in North San Diego County, will celebrate the holiday season just as all companies and organizations do during the holiday season.
Although we plan to celebrate this festive season with our colleagues to enjoy and reminisce the awesome and sick (that’s California lingo) year we have been blessed with, we have another motive.
Windermere is all about giving back to the community. Our agents and employees will donate at least one item to the Community Resource Center (CRC) Holiday Basket Program. With the help and graciousness of our Windermere agent, Daniel Greer, donations will be delivered to the CRC at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on December 18th where they will distribute our contributions to the less fortunate throughout the community.
We are excited to participate once again to the CRC in giving back, along with several of our agents who have individually contributed, like Jen Trafficanda and her daughter have for several years as well as this year.
In addition to coordinating our efforts to the Community Resource Center, we will also hold a fun and exciting Live Auction to include great prizes with proceeds provided to our Windermere Foundation which will benefit local charities we deem are in need.
If you are interested in joining our effort to contribute to San Diego communities, please contact your Windermere Realtor, drop off your contributions to any of our North County office locations, or contact donna.nik@windermere.com if you would like to donate an item for our Live Auction which takes place on December 17th.
Giving back to the community is a Celebration and Heartfelt Satisfaction.

Start The Year Off By Giving Back To Our Communities
January 28th, 2008 Categories: Community Events
When I selected the company I was to hang my license with, I wanted to choose an organization that felt that giving back to the community I worked in was just as important as profitability (well, at least 
close).
Windermere’s commitment to serving the community goes beyond providing buyers and sellers the best in real estate services. Every time a Windermere sales associate sells a home, a portion of the commission goes to the Windermere Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving back to local charities. I also provide an additional donation to “Project Talk“, a local organization dedicated to the deaf and hard of hearing children of San Diego County.
“At Windermere, every transaction counts,” said Windermere co-owner Jim Browne. “I’m proud to be part of a company that places such a high value on giving back to the community. And I am even more proud at how our agents embrace the spirit of giving back.”
On top of the money donated from every real estate transaction made through Windermere, my fellow agents participate in numerous events in the community. This past year you could find Escondido agents sitting outside their office on Friday nights working at Cruisin’ Grand, our Friday night classic car extravaganza that draws crowds of 10,000 plus to the downtown area. We also hosted a mobile blood drive, gave mini concerts and hawked hot dogs and water bottles.
As a result of Windermere’s efforts, Browne and Escondido Branch Manager Ron Brownell were able to make a sizeable donation to the local charity Rebuild Escondido, an organization established to assist fire victims in the Escondido area.
Meanwhile, Windermere agents from the Carmel Valley office organized a book drive to help build the library at the new East Ocean Air Elementary School. Realtors Shapar Ostovar, Jean Wilson, Peggy Chomas and Dara Chantarit, who coordinated the book drive, collected nearly 500 books for the school.
Contributions from Windermere agents and the public have allowed Windermere to distribute more than two million dollars annually in recent years. Windermere started 2008 by giving and looks forward to another year of enriching lives in our communities. 
So when you are thinking about who you would like to represent you in buying or selling your next home, choose a Realtor who not only knows the community, but also gives back to the community.
