DEL MAR, CA - The team here at Windermere Homes & Estates (WHE) has been laser focused on the work in front of us and adapting to this way conducting business and living.
We’ve been fine tuning our operations now for the past couple of months, while continuing to provide the highest levels of agent support by any real estate firm in Southern California.
As we leaned into our organization, we’ve identified ways WHE could become even stronger while existing in these challenging times. We discovered an area of need to make us better and gain additional advantages over our competition.
To that end, Windermere Homes & Estates is proud to make the following announcement and addition to our Executive Management team. Karl Jokinen, a long-term Windermere agent and former Assistant Manager of our Escondido Branch, has been appointed to the position of General Sales Manager.
Karl’s duties will include working directly with our Branch Managers helping to recruit, reach branch objectives and increase communication. His commitment to excellence, professionalism and growth is vital to this position. He is an amazing new resource providing the entire management team another key individual to support the growing agent population.
Karl is passionate about helping people and is now tasked to achieve the goals WHE has set for 2020 and beyond. His ability to connect with people on a personal level sets him apart, going above and beyond to help Managers and agents with their unique needs.
Karl reports directly to Windermere owner and broker Rich Johnson.
