For a trusted name in real estate, look no further than the Reed Team of San Clemente. Rated the #1 Team in Orange County on Zillow, four years in a row, the team is committed to providing concierge-level service, expert knowledge and competitive market strategies throughout the real estate purchase and sales process. In the current real estate climate, the Reed Team knows that delivering a personalized approach to meet the unique needs of each client is critical for successful outcomes.

When deciding to partner with a real estate group, one should expect professional, experienced, responsive agents and strong brand consistency that’s based on honesty and integrity. The Reed Team is dedicated to providing you with exactly that… and more. Under the leadership of Jimmy Reed, a licensed Realtor^® with over 20 years of experience and a Graduate of the Realtor Institute, his team has expanded and has opened a new office location in San Clemente this month.

Jimmy began his real estate career as a Coldwell Banker agent in Huntington Beach, where he succeeded in becoming the #1 ranked agent out of its 10 offices and reached the top 1% of agents nationwide for 14 years running. Prior to becoming a Realtor,^® he served for 5 years in the U.S. Army and during the first Gulf War. Soon after, he was tapped to become part of the exclusive Army Honor Guard and Presidential Escort Unit in Washington D.C., where he was honored to serve under two U.S. Presidents.

Jimmy brings the same dedication, focus, and tenacity he exhibited in the nation’s capital to his work in real estate. “What makes us different from other real estate teams,” relates Jimmy, “is our extreme ethical values. We are always up-front and honest with our clients, and we educate them on exactly what’s needed to sell a property at the highest price, or to buy the home of their dreams even in a very competitive market.”

The Reed Team believes in proactively driving traffic to a client’s listing through the use of technology and various marketing and advertising platforms to get the most possible eyes on a property. With seven licensed Sales Partners and an administrative staff focused specifically on operations, marketing, and technology, it’s possible for the team to offer clients a highly collaborative and more effective marketing approach than often found through the traditional solo agent model. The team leverages popular online real estate platforms like Trulia and Zillow, social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube and the more time-honored marketing avenues of snail mail and email blasts, as well as tapping into its vast network of industry professionals. For each and every listing, the talented marketing group generates multiple compelling videos using drones, HDR photography and other technology to enhance viewership on the most prolific real estate sites around. Instead of simply marketing to a general geographical area and hoping for the best, the Reed Team demographically targets buyers and utilizes property-specific approaches that translate into quicker sales cycles and more dollars in their clients’ pockets.

It’s a testament to the team’s high level of client satisfaction that over 70% of its business is derived from referrals and repeat customers. As proof that their system works, a recent client’s listing went from having little response with their previous Realtor,^® to becoming the #1 viewed property on Zillow in just 48 hours after switching to the Reed Team. In two days, the home received over 400 views and the client had five offers at and above asking price.

The Reed Team uses the same technique when helping buyers find their ideal home, whether they are looking for a $400,000 townhome in Mission Viejo or an $8.2 million estate in Ritz Cove. Their primary service area is South Orange County, but they can often be found listing and selling homes for clients from Rancho Santa Fe to Long Beach, including everything from condominiums, single-family homes, sprawling equestrian estates and ocean-front villas. In addition, they offer a full concierge suite of ancillary services, including an extensive network of professional photographers, home stagers, house cleaners, painters, construction companies, and trusted lending partners.

“Everything we do is for our customers,” says Jimmy. “Whether they are buying or selling, our services are designed to protect them from having to experience the highs and lows that create so much stress when buying or selling a home. We want people to understand the real landscape, so they can make the best decisions possible.”

Jimmy Reed has lived in San Clemente for 17 years with his wife, Lisa. To find out how the Reed Team can help you buy or sell your next home, visit ReedTeamHomes.com or call (949) 973-3636.
