San Ramon, CA, June 13, 2008 — Synergy Corporate Housing today announced the appointment of Jim Remedios as president of Synergy Residential Sales and Leasing, one of three complementary divisions of the Synergy Companies (Synergy is the only corporate housing company to provide real estate and lending under one roof). Remedios brings 15 years of experience, professionalism and skills to a distinguished team of sophisticated real estate experts that contribute to the success of Synergy Residential Sales and Leasing.
In addition to his solid background as a real estate sales professional, most recently with Alain Pinel Realtors, Remedios worked for many years as an engineer and engineering manager in the high-tech industry (for Hewlett Packard). He has sold and invested in real estate in the Santa Clara Valley and elsewhere in the Bay Area. His unique background gives him a keen understanding of the special needs and challenges facing buyers and sellers in today’s market.
Synergy Founding Partner Henry Luebbert praised Remedios’s diverse background, saying, “Jim’s experience in sales, engineering, investment, and technology, coupled with strong interpersonal skills, make him the perfect choice to work with our valued clients. We feel proud to offer our clients the services of such a well respected and proven real estate professional.”
Remedios grew up on the peninsula and has made Silicon Valley his home since 1984. He and his family reside in Cupertino. Remedios holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. He is a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the California Association of Realtors (CAR), and the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors (SILVAR), all of which uphold a strict code of ethics that ensures their members are up to date on the latest marketing techniques, technologies and real estate legislation, as well as being held to the highest standards of ethics toward their clients and their clients’ properties.
Synergy entered the corporate housing market in 1999 under the direction of two industry veterans. It became evident that Synergy clients would also benefit from the services of a knowledgeable real estate professional, someone familiar with each client’s individual circumstances, while buyers would benefit from help securing a mortgage. Housing all three of these services under one umbrella enables Synergy to meet its clients’ diverse needs while offering scalable cost savings.
With Synergy Residential Sales and Leasing, Synergy Corporate Housing clients benefit from the security of working with a team of professionals with 40 years of combined real estate experience, whom they already know and trust and who clearly understand their individual circumstances. This translates to better service, incalculable convenience and significant time savings. Uniquely, lessees are treated with the same level of care and attention as buyers. Additionally, clients receive complimentary moving services from a Synergy Corporate Apartment, a Synergy satisfaction guarantee, and, depending on use of one, two, or all three Synergy services, savings of 10 percent, 15 percent or 20 percent on commissions, which can be applied toward temporary corporate housing stays or non-recurring closing costs. On an $800,000 purchase, at the standard 3 percent commission, that equates to a savings of $4,800.
Remedios said his primary objective is to forge long-term relationships with his Synergy clients by providing them with exceptional service before, during and after the transaction so they will be able to rely on his team as their realtors for life.
