Watson’s Realty - Desert Properties is the Southern California arm of Watson’s Realty of Fremont, California.
 
An established firm in the San Francisco Bay Area, company owners JK (Janet) and Scott Watson of Watson’s Realty are particularly well known in the city of Fremont Communities of Glenmoor and Glen Manor.
 
Scott Watson has logged over 30 years in the real estate Business. JK brings the additional knowledge of 15 years in the home finance community before entering Real Estate in the early 1990s.
 
JK earned her Real Estate Broker’s license in 2004. Shortly there after, the couple decided to strike out on their own, form their own independent company and Watson’s Realty was born.
 
The primary focus of Watson’s Realty is in the San Francisco East Bay and Silicon Valley areas. JK and Scott deal in a wide range of primarily single family homes of all sizes, ages and price ranges. They have particular expertise in bringing homes to the market that need owner improvements through a large stable of very qualified contractors they are able to recommend for immediate improvements.
 
Another area of exceptional service they offer is to folks who have owned their home for a long time and need special assistance in helping to move on to the next phase of their life — be it downsizing, entering assisted living or moving to a community like Palm Desert that offers a new lifestyle and great range of activities for people entering their retirement years.
 
JK and Scott have both been regular visitors to the Desert since the early 1900s. Scott is an avid golfer and JK enjoys the ambience of the area, particularly during the seasonal months of activity here. Looking to their future as well has made our valley resort communities an attractive area for them to place current and future business attention.
 
As a result, Watson’s Realty - Desert Properties was formed in December of 2010.
 
In addition to Jim Bartell working as the primary agent here in the desert, Watson’s Realty has expanded their base of operations in the Bay Area as well.
 
Recently, Shawna Jorat has joined the firm bringing both management and sales expertise to the company. She has many years of professional real estate experience and is particularly well known as a team builder with a high level of customer care abilities. 
 
One additional interesting note about JK is that she is now a published author. Her book, “Losing Home” embraces memories of her 50-year-long childhood home, family and her final months of caring for her Mom/best friend during her final days. “It’s a touching memoir by a very caring person with a huge awareness of the most important things in life,” says her editor, Jim Bartell.
