Homes are our sanctuary, so when choosing a real estate professional you need to know that the person who is giving you advice is the right fit for you.
A leader in Rancho Santa Fe real estate for more than 20 years, K. Ann Brizolis of Prudential California Realty specializes in buying and selling luxury properties.
"People recognize professionalism and want individual attention when providing high-end advice. They have to be comfortable with you and know that you are savvy with their money," says Brizolis.
It's an opportune time to buy since interest rates are low. Brizolis adds, "People should be scooping up property and Rancho Santa Fe offers a unique blend. You can have a rural environment, but are just a few minutes from the coast. Rancho Santa Fe also has larger properties available for horses, guest houses and pools."
Another key element to choosing an agent should be that the person has a certain skill set in the real estate business. "Often skills like an education in economics and finance are overlooked," says Brizolis, who earned a degree in business administration and marketing.
And remember, real estate is all about contacts, so personal contact is also important. Brizolis' team of five is available 24/7. They can handle anything at any time, so jump in and give them a call.

Herman Cook VW
Built in 1967, Herman Cook Volkswagen has been locally and family owned for more than 30 years.
"We are a long-term business in the community. We sell and specialize in only one product, and there has only been one owner," says Phil Walls, sales manager, who has been with the company for more than 20 years.
With so many cars available to the consumer why should anyone select a VW? Walls explains that, "Volkswagens are known for their driven engineering. It's European, but yet affordable. We have a broad customer base nowadays since the VW product line is so extensive. It appeals to everyone."
Herman Cook VW not only offers great service and deals to our community, it's also making a difference overseas. Recently, Dan Daniels (leasing and Internet sales manager) held a shoe benefit at Herman Cook VW for the victims of Haiti.
"We expected a few hundred pairs of shoes, but at the end of the day our community donated over 3,000 shoes. It was amazing. Those shoes were packed and mailed to Haiti," says Walls.
If you're in the market to lease or buy a car - one of the most popular deals is a 2010 Golf for lease at only $209 per month with only $1,999 down - and you want exceptional service (employees pride themselves in high customer satisfaction), visit Herman Cook VW at 1435 Encinitas Boulevard, Encinitas, call (866) 280-3444 or go to www.cookvw.com.
