Bill and Margie are also Corporate Relocation Specialists. This generates many highly qualified buyers who are being transferred by their company to San Diego County. Bill & Margie have owned and operated their own property management company, Property Management Professionals, since 1992. Their extensive knowledge in this field has been a tremendous asset to their Real Estate business and to their clients.

With 42 combined years of experience selling Real Estate, Bill & Margie opened up "Purdy Homes." They found that all of their business came from repeat clients and referrals. After living, working, and being actively involved in the community and advertising for so many years, they had a strong local brand name. As they already had an independent and fully functional office, opening Purdy Homes seemed the natural progression. It allowed them the freedom to make decisions that would better serve their clients and they felt their marketing dollars would be better spent on their clients rather than supporting a national franchise.

The Purdy's have resided in Carlsbad since 1978. They have 2 boys, Billy and Jack, that graduated Carlsbad High School.Their boys have gone thru the Carlsbad school system beginning with the Krugar House Preschool!

They were also the Top Buyer Controlled Agents of the Year for all of San Diego County Coldwell Bankers. In 1999 they were the Top Agents for RE/MAX By the Sea in Carlsbad. In the year 2000, Bill & Margie opened their own brokerage, Purdy Homes. Best of all, for many years, they have sold more properties in Carlsbad than any other agent in the business. They are most proud of this accomplishment.
