When I first got my California Real Estate License, I interviewed a bunch of different companies in an attempt to decide where I wanted to hang my hat.  My criteria was pretty simple.  I wanted a company/office that:

1. Had a strong brand name
2. Offered lots of education opportunities
3. Had full-time versus part-time agents
4. Had a brick and mortar office
5. Had a well known, seasoned Broker
6. Was customer focused.

Now let me tell you, there are some great independent and franchise companies in this area.  It was not necessarily and easy choice but the one that met ALL of my above criteria was Coldwell Banker Liberty Realty in Morro Bay and  I couldn’t be happier with my choice! 

We have two office (I work out of both of them), one in Morro Bay and one in Cayucos.  Our Broker, Shirley Lyon, has been in Real Estate for ever and is still practicing.  In addition, she is extremely involved in the local Assocation and the local communites.  Shirley has seen just about everything in her many years of practicing and is always willing to help her agents.

The office is awesome too.  For a group of people that are actually competitors, this office is amazing.  Everyone is very supportive, offering to go above and beyond in everything from floor time, to helping each other when someone is sick, to referring leads to the appropriate agents.  It’s a unique situation and office and I’m proud to be a part of it.

The Coldwell Banker name brand has been around for 102 years - WOW!  In addition, Coldwell Banker:

• Has offices in 47 countries on 6 continents.
• Is rated #1 by consumers in terms of a company you can trust and depend on.
• Among the top 760 firms in the nation.
• The most innovative real estate firm.
• Has the broadest spending in the industry.

Amoung other many numerous items, all of these combine to make a company that is forward looking and dedicated to customers - both buyers and sellers - with honest, integrity, and committment.  It is a place that I am proud to call home!
