We are excited to finally, formally welcome two awesome agents to San Diego Castles Realty, and not just because it gives me an excuse to bury the “Birthday” post (although that is a big part of it). If we had an office, we would need a bigger one.
I’m kidding, of course. We have an office, but it’s not the traditional office with a bunch of wasted space and smoke and mirrors, “look how important we are” trappings. We call it our docking station, and the docking station just got a little more vibrant.
Millie Fitzpatrick brings over 30 years of real estate experience. She has been representing both buyers and sellers for over 12 of those. Her prior experience is diverse. Prior to entering the exciting world of real estate, Millie worked in the legal profession, was co-owner and manager of Alexander Financial, and a funded both VA and FHA loans.
She is proud wife and mother and, unlike myself, she is apparently coordinated, as she enjoys participating in all kinds of crazy sports. They even let her coach youth soccer for 2o years. Millie, to put it mildly, has spunk, not to mention a wicked sense of humor (something we covet around here). She is also genuinely really, really nice.
Leslie Flemming has been knocking around the real estate industry for over a decade. She, too, is an experienced buyer and seller representative, and she is as smart as a whip. Prior to working in real estate, she squeezed in a degree from my San Diego State alma mater and even graduated from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, so no back talk!
Both are (gasp) Scripps Ranch residents. More importantly, each shares our passion for the business, our commitment to always putting the client first, and our philosophy of representing, not selling. Duh. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be here, and we are so glad they are.
We are proud as punch to have two fabulous new partner agents. Please give them a welcome-to-the-neighborhood shout out.
Now, having dispensed with “the birthday” (which Steve says makes me 3.5 years old in giant Sequoia years), his own birthday yesterday (a prime number which we will keep under our hats), and the little matter of an expanding agent roster, we will get back to our regular programming.

Congrats!!!
Welcome Millie and Leslie! What a great addition for San Diego Castles. I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with you both, and will look forward to all of our continued success.
Fabulous! Congrats to everyone. I just LOVE seeing the small independent “virtual” brokers expand. (And I just decided I’m not so fond of the descriptor “virtual”. Makes it sound like that’s our primary feature/focus, and it’s not…. But that’s another blog post).
Leslie and Millie made the right choice, and it sounds like Kris and Steve made the right choice in them.
Tell Steve happy belated b-day and that he looks remarkable for being 67.
Jay,
You didn’t study your prime numbers, did you?
Agree on the virtual moniker. We need to brainstorm a new handle.
According to the internet, which is always correct, prime numbers from 40-60 include: 41, 43, 47, 53, 59
The best card my wife got for her 50th had a picture of a grove of giant sequoias on the cover, along with a statement about how beautiful the trees were.
On the inside it said, “thanks for planting them”.
Dang it, Smithers! Let this be a lesson. Never get your engineering degree from San Diego State. Their math department apparently sucks. (9 times three is 27… didn’t see that one coming.)
OK, I’m confused about the 9*3 = 27.
Jay’s pick of 67 is certainly a prime number, though.
Hey, 67 is a prime number. It’s *possible* Steve is 67….
OK, silly men. 9 times 3 is 27… 19 times 3 is 57. I was wrong about the prime thing.
(Sorry for outing you, honey.)
Ahhhh.
(Wow, Steve’s old.)
Start by adding the digits together to figure out if divisible by 3., e.g., 57 = 5+7 = 12. If you don’t know whether the sum is divisible by three, no worries, just repeat until you get down to a single digit. If you don’t know whether a single digit number is divisible by 3, you are probably a member of the California State Legislature.
Geez, Smithers. Soooorrrry. I knew that once before the memory started to go.
(Yes, he is old.)
Math is hard.
1st Prioity – Let me throw in my 2 cents worth for Millie and Leslie (Notice how I so quickly changed the subject – it comes from my many years of wisdom). It is definitely a “step up” and I predict you will both flourish as we know how you share our client-centric philosophy.
Now, with regard to the age thing, let’s just keep it simple (For the benefit of our California legislators – thank you, Smithers) and say, “Happy Birthday, Steve! You look great for your age…” How cool is that? And yes, math is hard, Jay!
