McMillin Realty's C.L. Vinson Happy to Be Home

Online, May 30, 2014 (Newswire.com) - For Broker Associate Carmelita "C.L." Vinson, returning to McMillin was an easy choice. Originally working as a McMillin agent from 1992 to 1996, Vinson is happy to be back in a familiar place with a trusted, familiar name.

"I joined McMillin Realty because of the company's profile as one of South County San Diego's top realty companies and because of their marketing and support programs," stated Vinson, "I like to create a positive, 'family'-oriented work environment and am glad that I am returning to a company that fits with those same principles." Vinson also cites McMillin Realty's sterling reputation in San Diego as a driving factor for rejoining the team.

With over 20 years of real estate experience, including owning and operating her own brokerage, Vinson has experience and success in a variety of transaction types in just about every kind of real estate market. "The best asset that I have is my flexibility. Because I am able to 'go with the flow' of the market, I can adapt based on the current conditions," continued Vinson. Her main geographic region of focus is in her local community, where she lives, works, and is a member of the parish church.

Having run her own brokerage firm for several years, Vinson understands the importance of training and support that a company provides to its agents. "The training that happens early on in a new agent's career will dictate how far they will go in this business. The McMillin training program for new agents is out of this world and is a big part of my decision to join," added Vinson. "Because of the tremendous support we, the agents, receive from McMillin, we are freed up to do the things we need to do to run a successful business and maximize our time focusing on sales. McMillin Realty has created a 'dream world' for a real estate professional with the systems, tools, and company support that they provide."

Holding true to the founding principles of McMillin, C.L. Vinson is also deeply entrenched in giving back to her local community and the international community abroad. Her philanthropic efforts start in her backyard, where she is a Eucharist minister with Corpus Christi Catholic Church, a member of the Rotary International Club, and active with Habitat for Humanity. In foreign countries, her passion is setting up artesian wells in the Philippines to supply water to the barrios and is active with Project Mercy, an organization that builds homes in economically challenged areas in Mexico.

"I worked with CL in the early 90s, and what a thrill to have her go full circle and return to McMillin Realty!" commented General Manager Isabel Hall. "CL is a true leader in our community; we are honored to have her representing our company. I watched CL grow her business in the 90s as she pioneered handling the sale of bank-owned properties. She was forward-thinking then, and she is forward-thinking now."

McMillin Realty, serving San Diego's South County, Downtown/Metro, and Coastal Communities has operated as a San Diego real estate brokerage for over 50 years.
