Billy Colestock – Company Owner
While not originally from San Diego, I transplanted after falling in love with the San Diego lifestyle. The culture, warm weather, beautiful beaches, and many activities set San Diego apart.
I was born in Rochester, Michigan. While still very young, my father got tired of the cold winters and moved the family to South Carolina. In 2003, I moved to the West Coast where starting a business makes dreams and lifestyles can come true.
You probably noticed how many times I use the word “lifestyle”. After living in San Diego for over 15 years, I appreciate its lifestyle and look at the real estate agent profession not as a “job”, but as a “lifestyle”.
My SoCal Lifestyle Realty Group promotes the unique San Diego lifestyle. As a result, we don’t just sell homes, we help our clients to achieve their dream of the perfect lifestyle.
My motto for our WeLease Property Management Company is:
“We do what we say we are going to do”;
“Answering our phones 2/7 while never missing a beat”; and
“We answer all your questions”.
