Like the Cub Scout he once was, Kevin Williamson likes to be prepared. And he wants the agents he manages at the Rancho Bernardo office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties to be prepared as well – for success.

I am here to be their resource. I understand those processes and am able to show agents how to use them to advance their careers. I have an open-door policy.

“Low-key but powerful” is how people in the real industry describe him, Cliff Helbock says. A look at his 30-year track record proves them right.
Helbock, broker/manager of the Escondido office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, has paved the way to successful careers for hundreds of licensed agents.

“I just love to see agents succeed. For me it’s almost better than getting paid to see their eyes light up when they get their first commission check or achieve their next goal.”
