Help Wanted! Yes, Ken Winter wants to be hired by you to serve you in your real estate needs. He wants to help you find that dream home, sell your existing home, vacant land or just answer your real estate questions. He has the expertise to do just that. Ken has been involved in almost every aspect of real estate since a young kid. As a young boy, he watched his dad build houses. As he grew up on job sites, he had the "big" responsibility of picking up scrap lumber and enjoyed making "cities" with the scraps. An admirer of the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ken pursued a career in architecture by financing his way through college designing houses and drawing house plans for local contractors. Ken also pounded nails and coordinated the work on some of the homes. Rather than becoming an architect for buildings, he became an architect for cities. During college, Ken became interested in the much larger picture and obtained a bachelors degree in urban planning and became a master planner for large urban communities. Ken was a professional planner for more than 30 years. For 21 years, Ken managed a large land planning division for the County of Orange where he supervised preparation of community plans including Newport Coast, Aliso Viejo, Bolsa Chica, Dana Point and Capistrano Beach. Ken was also the chief representative for the County before the California Coastal Commission. Ken also spent 5 years as a manager with Orange County Harbors, Beaches and Parks Department where he helped manage the county’s 35,000 acres of regional and wilderness parks, world renowned harbors and beaches, 400 miles of riding and hiking trails and over 200 miles of off-road bike trails. Ken recently retired from the County to work full time as a Realtor. In his "spare time" Ken put his education and experience to use. He developed a residential subdivision in Upland taking the project from raw land through the development entitlement process to final improvement plans. He also developed a small subdivision in Alta Loma and bought and sold residential investment properties. Wanting to know more about the ins and outs of real estate transactions, Ken began taking college level courses in real estate which led to him becoming a licensed broker over 17 years ago. Ken stays on the cutting edge of real estate by attending seminars and classes on every area of the real estate industry. For the past 50 years, Ken has called the Inland Empire his home and moved to Upland 25 years ago with his wife of 41 years. They have 8 children, 5 of which were foster children that are now a permanent part of their family. They are also blessed with 5 grandchildren. Caring for special needs children takes a special kind of love and people skills. Ken believes this caring transfers over to his working with clients. Their interests are Ken’s number one priority and he works with each client with dignity and respect. His education and experience has always been result oriented and therefore enables him to offer the finest service available. So why hire Ken, "He has been there and done that" so he will:
