FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – April 7,2011
RPM Mortgage’s San Diego branch recently announced that it will be partnering with Real Living Lifestyles, formerly Windermere Exclusive Properties.
Real Living Lifestyles - Real Estate is a new company locally owned and operated by Steve Rodgers, Jim Browne and Mark Loscher. The group selected RPM Mortgage as the preferred lender because of the outstanding reputation and experience they share within the San Diego community.
“RPM Mortgage San Diego has been a great mortgage fit for our company, agents and clients,” said Rodgers. “Todd Pianin and his entire team are at the top of their field on customer service, product knowledge, client choice and pricing. They go above and beyond and strive to exceed each individual’s needs. If you need a loan with wisdom, care, confidence and all your needs met then this is your group of experts to get it done!”
Real Living Lifestyles includes eight offices throughout San Diego County with nearly 400 real estate agents. The Lifestyles company is a part of the larger corporation, Real Living Real Estate, which is a full-service real estate brokerage franchise company that opened in 2002. The company has branches located in Carlsbad Faire, Carlsbad Village, Carmel Valley, Escondido, Fairbanks Ranch, Encinitas, Rancho Bernardo and Solana Beach.
Rodgers decided to move his organization to Real Living because it is a much larger, global organization that has an agent focused business model that holds more opportunities for his company. Real Living is owned by Brookfield Residential Property Services which is a leading global provider of real estate and relocation services, technology and knowledge.
Todd Pianin, Branch Manager of the RPM Mortgage San Diego branch, was ecstatic about the opportunity to work with such a large and well respected real estate company such as Real Living Lifestyles.
“We are super excited about the fresh new franchise that Steve Rodgers has made with Real Living,” said Pianin. “The fact that Steve selected us to be Real Living Lifestyles” in-house lender proves to us that we have earned the respect not only of Steve, but of the San Diego community as well. We are honored that such an established group has selected us to be the mortgage partner for their new company.”
Rob Hirt, CEO of RPM Mortgage has known Rodgers for a long time and respects his work and reputation that he has built for himself in San Diego. He is pleased that RPM now has a strong partnership with Rodger’s new organization and that they can build upon this new partnership together.
“Steve Rodgers is a legend in Southern California for his professionalism and expertise in guiding Realtors toward being more successful,” said Hirt. “Todd Pianin and Steve have forged a strong bond and working relationship and I am humbled that Steve has chosen RPM to be his in-house lender. We are extremely excited about our future involving Real Living Lifestyles.”
