Don Thompson - Ceda Realty

History

Started buying and selling property for my personal benefit mid 80's after falling asleep listing to an infomercial on how to buy real estate with nothing down... in the early 90's assisted a property management company for a few years. Usually I say I started my real estate career on New Years Day 1999 because I was showing property that day and had decided Real Estate would be my main stream of income. What do you do when the market changes? Shift! Shifted into full time REO sales (Real Estate Owned/ Foreclosures) in 2002, sold over 1000 properties by the end of 2012 (So, now I claim 50 years of experience). Started incorporating my Construction & Design background into my business in 2013 due to Client needs which today includes Free Roof inspections, I work with the insurance companies and make sure my clients receive the claim they deserve by working closely with the insurance adjustors.
