Top Selling Real Estate Broker Josh Painter Thrives by Building Lifetime Relationships With His Clients

TEMECULA, Calif, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by his long held belief that there's "no glory in mediocrity," Josh Painter found himself at a powerful crossroads in mid-2008. Though he had established himself as a successful loan originator in his longtime hometown of Temecula, California – South Riverside County's premier winemaking region – he realized that he was earning a fraction of what the real estate agents he worked with made on any given deal while doing three times as much work.

When he decided to bring his license to the local Keller Williams office, he was broke and behind on his rent and car payment. He had $60 to his name. Painter held an open house the next day and immediately wrote a client's offer on the property – and by the end of the year, he was closing a handful of deals a month, debt free and engaged in an exciting new career that would change the course of his life.

At a time when everyone was fearful because of a weakening market, he looked beyond the headlines to find dynamic opportunities. Because of dropping property values, there were hundreds of buyers who could never buy homes before who finally could. "I woke up every morning driven to help these people," says Painter, who launched his own company, Pacific Lifestyles Realty, in 2010. "I knew that if other agents could do well in this business, there was no reason I couldn't succeed."

After months of steady sales, Painter developed a larger vision of his potential via a group of investors in San Diego (his birthplace and original hometown) who connected with him to help them buy homes in the down market and flip them.

Their initial goal was to buy, refurbish and sell two homes a month but within a year, with Painter negotiating the sale of each refurbished home, they were up to a whopping 60 a month. At one point, Painter had eight employees driving around Riverside County to check the conditions of these homes and make sure they were ripe for bidding.

Upping his game even further, Painter decided it was time to take the next step to serve his burgeoning clientele by getting his broker's license and opening Pacific Lifestyles Realty. He remembers running on a treadmill at the gym listening to a Tony Robbins motivational seminar when the idea struck. While studying for the broker's license exam, he read voraciously on how to start a brokerage.

Setting himself apart by truly caring about his clients and being committed to building lifelong relationships with them, Painter quickly became a local real estate phenomenon, selling an astounding 165 homes in 2011 – more than any other agent in the Temecula/Murrieta area. Today, while building a loyal staff of 40 agents (all equally committed to specialized, long-term client relationships and services) and growing, he has personally sold more than 500 homes. He and his team are able to sell homes for up to 21 percent more money than the average agent – and do it an average of 26 days faster than the average for the area.

Painter's goal is to give the most value possible to every person he works with, clients and agents alike – and this extends to the "above and beyond" services and offerings that clients experience when they work with Pacific Lifestyles Realty.

Beyond his engaging personality and dedication to the needs of his clients, one of the main reasons Painter has risen so far so quickly is the fact that he is deeply passionate about and connected to his home city Temecula, where he and his wife and teenage son and daughter live in the Redhawk community. This intimacy with the community allows Painter to boldly declare, "We know all the secrets of what makes Temecula one of Southern California's most sought-after communities. It's a dynamic, family oriented lifestyle, with parks and golf courses everywhere, in addition to some of the nation's top rated schools. We're also excited to service many of our surrounding communities, including Murreta, Menifee, Winchester, Wildomar and Lake Elsinore."
