Delorine Jackson’s entrepreneurial spirit springs from a humble background. As one of seven children adopted by an American couple, she enjoys the advantage of understanding diverse peoples and cultures.
“Coming from an orphanage in South Korea at age 8, I arrived with my younger sister on Thanksgiving Day in beautiful Southern California,” she said. “Experiencing the American dream of homeownership is beyond huge. Home is where we create memories and moments of sharing and having a family. It is something we all aspire to.”
Now manager of our Del Mar and Carmel Valley branches, Jackson describes herself as a hands-on leader who is always available to her 100-plus agents.

Bryan Devore, an agent at our Carlsbad office, raised almost $1,300 on Mr. Credit’s “The Real Estate Debate: Charity Challenge!” special edition of “The Real Estate Debate,” a regularly broadcast program on AM 760 KFMB radio.
The funds benefited Casa de Amparo, a leader since 1978 in treating and preventing child abuse and neglect in San Diego County and beyond. With service to more than 1,000 children ranging from prenatal to age 25, Casa de Amparo (Home of Protection) provides residential, counseling, and child-development services, among many other functions, at its San Marcos facility and elsewhere.
The contest focused on a number of hot-button issues that affect homebuyers and sellers throughout San Diego County. Topics included the relationship between average days on market vs. the current two-month inventory of property, a challenge to provide a quick description of the San Diego real estate scene, and taking a stand on one side of the debate of whether dual representing buyer and seller is a benefit or a hazard for either party.
