Meet JK and Scott Watson
Hire the Watsons and you'll immediately put over 30 years of real estate
business and service experience to work for you!
Together, JK and Scott Watson have spent more than three decades in the
business of buying, selling and financing homes. Most of this has happened right
here in the East Bay area that includes Fremont and neighboring communities.
After years of working for a variety of companies, they formed Watson's
Realty when JK earned her Broker's License in December 2004. This fulfilled a
long-time "American Dream" goal of theirs for independent company ownership.
There's a good deal of know-how immediately available to you when you
CallTheWatsons at Watson's Realty.
JK's Background:
As the Broker/Officer for Watson's Realty, JK handles real estate sales and
business operations for the Organization. She's been a licensed real estate
agent since 1992.
Prior to going into real estate sales and management full bore, she worked
the financial side of the business with World Savings in Oakland and in Southern
California. In her early years, she handled real estate loan writing for the
company. Then, for 12 years, she managed Branch Operations, all in the Alameda
County/Fremont area.
JK's background in the basics of finance and mortgages; her experience in
sales; and a strong interest in legal matters and contracts make her an
outstanding real estate professional to have on your side in any
transaction.
Many people in Fremont know JK from her 5 years as the volunteer manager of
"Adopt an Angel" Foundation. She helped to grow the organization from a meager
beginning to a successful program that even today continues to provide donated
holiday gifts to over 1,000 children in need annually.
Born in Alamogordo, NM, she spent most of her youth and early adult years in
Woodland Hills, CA, before moving to the East Bay in 1985.
Scott's Background:
Scott first earned his real estate license in 1986 and has been working
full-time in the residential home market ever since. That's 19 years in the
business of helping hundreds of individuals and families share in their own
American Dream of home ownership.
Scott is known in the business as someone who will go way out of his way to
help a client buy or sell a home, or even handle something personally. For
instance, he's initiated a Watson's Realty program to help clients run a garage sale, and he does it at no charge. Need a contractor to
fix up a home for sale and Scott will find one for you. Need plants to improve
your landscape and Scott will likely help you to plant them. Click here to read about Scott's recent trip to Seattle to
help out an elderly acquaintance.
Prior to beginning his real estate career, Scott worked with Barient, Inc. in
Menlo Park, CA, from 1974 to 1986 in a variety of managerial positions. It was
there that he learned many of the business and customer service skills so
important to developing his friendly and efficient manner of doing business.
Prior to 1974, Scott lived with his family in places like Sacramento, CA;
Levittown, PA; Great Falls, MT; Tucson, AZ; and Bristol, VA where he was born in
1954.
JK and Scott Together:
JK and Scott were married in 1992 and one might say that's when life really
got off the ground for the two of them. They played a large role in the raising
of the two children Scott brought to the relationship, Chad and Bobby.
Now they will tell you that the two things of greatest importance in their
lives are grandsons Riley and Bailey. Riley was born in June 2002 and is already
"talking" about the day he can go to work in the real estate business with
Grandpa and "Nonna." Younger Bailey is just beginning to understand that "Nonna"
(Italian for Grandma) could be the most important word in his vocabulary.
JK and Scott are also known to get involved in community programs and
fundraising activities. Last year, working with the coaches and players of the
Washington High School Football squads, they initiated and managed a program
that raised in the area of $10,000 for practice and game equipment needed for
the teams.
