Professional/Personal Distinctions: Lots of happy clients over the years, never been sued, not currently in jail, not Canadian (these are all true…and an indication of my “off-beat sense of humor” mentioned below…) Member: National Association of Realtors California Association of Realtors Southland Regional Association of Realtors Los Angeles Westside Association of Realtors. Specialties: Residential (houses, townhomes and condos), Multi-residential and Land sales. Matt works with both buyers and sellers. Bio: Bottom line: If you’re looking for someone smart, talented and committed to help you with probably the largest financial transaction you’ll ever make (buying or selling a house, of course!), look no further. Matt Carson brings all those talents to the table, along with nine years of home-selling experience and an off-beat sense of humor. Matt was the top listing and sales producer in his office in 2003, 2004, and 2005 and has had more production in the first quarter of 2006 than in any entire year before that. Matt is a team player when it comes to the company, but not when it comes to his personal business. When clients call Matt, they actually get Matt – not an assistant or a team member. He works with both buyers and sellers, and most of his business is by referral – you won’t see his mug on a bus bench! (That’s not to say he doesn’t welcome any and all NEW clients…unless they’re not nice…in which case he’s been know to “fire” clients.) Prior to his sales career, he was another Real Estate company's Director of Advertising for the firm’s first seven years. (He knows his way around ad copy – one of his clients recently commented “Why am I selling? – You’ve made my house sound so good in your advertising, why would anyone in their right mind want to leave???”)   Ascent Real Estate - Tamara Zyhylij (za-haley), GRI Contact: Tamara Zyhylij (za-haley), GRI Title: REALTOR License Type: CA Licensee Years in Business: 6 years Company Address: Ascent Real Estate 410 Kalmia Street San Diego, CA 92103 US Cities / Areas Served: Metro San Diego and adjacent communities including: Hillcrest, Downtown, Bankers Hill, Mission Hills, North Park, South Park, University Heights, Normal Heights, Kensington, Serra Mesa, Mission Valley, Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, Mira Mesa, La Mesa, El Ca Professional/Personal Distinctions: Experienced Real Estate Professional Graduate, REALTOR Institute, GRI designated Member: National Association of Realtors (N.A.R.)
