Why A Global Perspective is Important for Local Real Estate

By on October 7, 2011 in Real Estate, San Diego, Willis Allen

Why a Global Perspective is Important for Local Real Estate
Andrew E. Nelson, President & CEO Willis Allen Real Estate

There is no denying it – we live in a global marketplace.  Each month the U.S. imports and exports billions of dollars in goods and services.  This means more people are not only conducting business across borders, but are also choosing to live in international locations either full- or part-time.

San Diego sellers are in a particularly enviable position.  The harbor makes San Diego an important link to America’s international shipping trade.  San Diego boasts a strong biotechnology, software and telecommunications industry. Additionally, the mild year-round climate, unique attractions and natural beauty make San Diego a top choice for international vacationers and second (or third or fourth) homeowners.

All of this is good news for sellers because it creates (literally) a world of potential buyers.  So how do you ensure the buyer in Bangkok knows about your beach bungalow or that the London-based business owner doesn’t miss out on your downtown loft?

It is important that you work with a brokerage that can offer local regional, national and international exposure to net the largest number of potential buyers. To ensure you are working with a truly international real estate firm, ask these specific questions.

  • · In which countries do you advertise listings?
  • · With which international brokerages do you partner?
  • · To which international real estate affiliations do you belong?
  • · Is your website available in multiple languages and currencies, and if so, which ones?

In short you must ensure your real estate brokerage has local roots, but global reach.

Hole in the Wall

By on January 21, 2011 in San Diego, Willis Allen

There really is a restaurant named Hole In the Wall, but it is in Bath, England.  And it’s a winner, if you’re ever in the neighborhood.

San Diego has many worthy Holes in the Wall that are not so bluntly named and which are a bit closer.  Ready for excellent Thai food in an unlikely setting?  Try LANNA, The Art of Thai Cuisine, in a small strip center on Mission Bay Drive just South of the intersection with Balboa Avenue.

Tables are spaced apart so it’s quiet enough for dinner table conversation, and the service is serene.  Bird’s Nest and the pu pu platter are artistically presented, with exotic & delicious flavors.  The Tom Yum soups will warm the cockles of your heart when the temperature plummets below 60 degrees.

Lanna is a good choice for gluten-free dining — even the spring roll wrappers are made with rice flour.  Ask your waitress to identify the few items that involve wheat, so you can avoid them.
