Jeff Newman Joins Sales Team at Lee Mather Co., Realtors

     Loaded with 20 years of experience in the Real Estate and mortgage industries, Jeff Newman brings a variety of skills to the table as the newest member of Lee Mather Co., Realtors.  
     Newman had his own company in Newport Beach for 20 years. He’s experienced in negotiating complex property transactions and trusts, and will be working to build his network in Coronado and San Diego while continuing to introduce his many friends and former clients to the magic of Coronado.  
     “Networking is the key in this business,” said Newman. “I’ve been involved in hundreds of Real Estate transactions. More than 90% of my business comes from referrals. The relationship with strangers is, at first, a transaction. When you either have an established relationship, or a friendly referral, it becomes much deeper and more rewarding on many levels for everyone involved, and that’s been a trademark of my work ethic for years.”  
     In his travels, Newman had been a friend with the Lee Mather family for nearly 30 years. Now, with the market beginning to show signs of renewed life, Newman has been brought in to add his special networking abilities to the team at LMCo.  
     “This being our 60th year in Business, we continue to be on the lookout for people who will carry our company forward, while continuing to reflect our principles,” said Mike Herlihy, partner at Lee Mather Co., Realtors. “Newman personifies this with his energy, expertise and enthusiasm.” Co-owner Debbie Riddle concurred: “He's a leader. Look for good things from Jeff.”   
     Married with two teenage children, Newman received a B.A. in speech communication at Cal State Long Beach. He spent a year as a law student at Southwestern University School of Law before devoting his career to Real Estate and the mortgage industry.
     “I had aspirations of being a politician as a young man,” said Newman. “I love persuasion and negotiation, and have a real attraction to history and government. But, as a newlywed at the time, the commitment required to continue as a law student wasn’t realistic for me.” His short time studying law, however, has helped him in the resolution of many complicated Real Estate transactions over the years.  
     Newman plays basketball three times a week in pick-up games, and loves to travel in search of surf. He has surfed numerous exotic breaks over the years - places such as Fiji, Costa Rica, Mazatlan, and up and down the California coast.  
     “Coronado is such a beautiful town,” said the veteran Realtor. “I look forward to building a new network of friends and associates here, and to being a major contributor to the good work being done at Lee Mather Co., Realtors.
