McMillin Realty's Patti McKelvey Has Highest February Unit Sales In San Diego County

Online, March 26, 2013 (Newswire.com) - McMillin Realty is proud to congratulate its superstar real estate agent Patti McKelvey on having the highest sales units in San Diego County for the month of February. Through consistent hard work and fierce dedication to her clients and the industry, McKelvey continues to achieve astronomical heights in a legendary real estate career.

"The February results were a culmination of hard work and several transactions coming together at the right time," stated Patti McKelvey, "I worked harder of course, but things just fell into place nicely for the month." McKelvey recorded transactions in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Chula Vista, and Bonita, with the majority of the transactions taking place in South County. Her transactions included a few short sales and some traditional sales, notably a homebuyer who used equity from their current home to move up, a sign of the market's turnaround.

"We are extremely pleased to recognize Patti for her outstanding achievement of having the highest total sales volume in the county for February," said Isabel Hall, Vice President of McMillin Realty, "Patti continues to raise the bar for herself and all other agents in San Diego. We are very lucky to have her as a part of the McMillin Realty team and look forward to seeing her build upon a sterling career."

Although McKelvey gets her name next to the accomplishment, she credits a lot of her success to her team working seamlessly together. "Our team has many moving parts working in sync to accomplish our goals," continued McKelvey, "Without all of these pieces to the puzzle, you would never be able to bring it together." Patti McKelvey also credits her consistent track record of closing sales as reason for her success. "I have built these relationships over the years, along with a strong reputation of closing transactions, so now the agents will often choose our offer in multiple offers situations. The follow up and relationships really matter in this market."

So far, 2013 has been off to a torrid sales pace, carrying on from a strong finish to 2012. McKelvey sees this resurgence as a sign that the market is poised to continue its growth. "I look at the numbers for 2007 and project a similar forecast for this year," noted McKelvey, "The market is going to ramp up from now through September. Now is the perfect window of opportunity for buyers to get into a home; prices are still 30 to 40% below peak value and interest rates remain low."

As the market continues to grow, Patti McKelvey notes that homeowners who have been in limbo for the past few years are starting to make their move. "With the rise in home prices, homeowners have more equity in their homes and can use that liquidity to buy a new home," stated McKelvey. She noted the listings of distressed properties have diminished, and those that are available are snapped up almost instantly.

McKelvey is encouraged by the signals she sees in the market, and looks forward to helping more people find the perfect lifestyle. "Right now, this is a pleasant time to be doing what I do. I really feel like I am helping my clients, especially when they start to build equity on their homes and can realize even more benefits of home ownership."

McMillin Realty is proud of Patti McKelvey and her fantastic career accomplishments, and looks forward to continuing their successful partnership.
