Steve Rodgers, President Steve Rodgers, former President and CEO of Prudential California Realty, Southern California is named a partner and the new President of Real Living LifeStyles Real Estate . Rodgers, who was with Prudential for more than 14 years, spent the last few months researching the companies and cultures that best fit with his views for the future of real estate. He was honored to have been presented with career opportunities at numerous local, national and international real estate firms and franchises.
“There were many exciting and impressive people and meetings along the way to consider” said Rodgers. “But the partnership with Real Living LifeStyles presents a unique opportunity for me to work with a more boutique, locally owned and operated firm. At Real Living I can serve agents and consumers in a more personal and targeted way.” Real Living LifeStyles agents enjoy the less corporate atmosphere and consumer centric focus of their San Diego offices. The branches are locally run and provide agents with exceptional support and training.
“There is so much unrest and doubt surrounding our industry. People have lost faith in big business and are wary of the recent bailouts. As a reaction, everyone is pulling back, simplifying their approach to life and putting increased value on trust and friendships in business.” Rodgers described Windermere’s local business approach and family atmosphere as “a Real Living LifeStyles breath of fresh air for employees, agents and consumers alike.” As President, Rodgers will work with Owners to expand their presence in San Diego. “Steve comes to our brokerage with tremendous experience and energy. He has proven himself as a leader in California real estate and will be an outstanding asset to our company,” said Mark Loscher, CEO.
Mark Loscher, Owner/CEO Mark Loscher founded Windermere Exclusive Properties in North County San Diego in 2001 along with Jim Browne, Robert and Robin Behic. Mark currently serves as the company CEO and Owner of Real Living LifeStyles .His real estate license for “personal investment purposes”, he quickly found himself actively engaged in the dynamic industry. “I got my license and the next thing I knew I had friends asking for real estate help,” “I was selling land, commercial properties, and homes; it turned into a full-time job.” Mark hung his license with Jim Browne, a long-time friend and practicing broker. It didn’t take long before they decided that if they were going to be working together, they should start their own business. “I build businesses. That is what I enjoy doing,” said Mark. “I enjoy seeing other people around me being successful. Watching them grow professionally and personally. It is not about selling homes; it is about building relationships and fulfilling dreams.”
Now Owner/Broker of Real Living Lifestyles, Jim Browne founded Windermere Exclusive Properties in North County San Diego six years ago with Mark Loscher. Together with Steve Rodgers now owns Real Living Lifestyles a franchise of Real Living Real Estate.The 7th generation Californian has more than thirty years of experience in San Diego Real Estate and uses his extensive knowledge of the industry to serve as the principal broker for Real Living LifeStyles’s eight North County San Diego locations. “I really enjoy what I am doing here,” said Jim, who was initially attracted to Real Estate because it offers people the ability to control their own destiny.
