Ian Filippini
Ian Filippini, Santa Barbara resident, has long pursued the loftiest of goals concerning his professional endeavors, most of which relate to the development and implementation of highly effective financial practices designed to yield the best possible outcome for clients of his wealth management company, Filippini Wealth Management. The pursuit of those goals began more than a decade ago when Filippini accepted the position of president of Filippini Wealth Management, and the intervening years have served as a case study for the endless array of benefits available to those who maintain a singular focus on a particular goal and devote the time and effort necessary to achieve that goal.
Filippini’s company, which is based out of Santa Barbara, California, is designed in a manner that is quite different from other companies operating within the wealth management and financial planning industry. While keenly aware and entirely cognizant of the importance of a highly specialized approach based on the individual needs of each client, Filippini has built a wealth management firm capable of providing a wide range of financial services.
Few companies are capable of providing such a breadth of services without courting significant risks concerning the quality of customer service and the ability to develop individualized service offerings according to the specific needs of the client. Through Filippini’s leadership and his deep commitment to serving each client in a manner that yields the best possible outcome on a consistent basis, Filippini Wealth Management has been able to strike a rare balance in which it offers comprehensive service offerings without sacrificing anything in terms of the overall quality and efficacy of the offerings. This has made the wealth management and financial planning process easier and more convenient for clients of Filippini Wealth Management, which only reinforces the effectiveness of the leadership style utilized by the company’s longtime president.
1. What do you know about the real estate industry?
As part of my responsibilities with Filippini Wealth Management, I have done some extensive research on the real estate industry and understand how to analyze and predict market trends in order to identify significantly undervalued properties for investment purposes.
2. Have you ever sold real estate? How did you make it happen?
I’ve been involved in a number of real estate transactions and feel confident in the principles I have relied upon during each of these transactions.
3. How much experience do you have in buying or selling real estate?
My experience is quite extensive as an investor in real estate properties, and I maintain an investment portfolio in which real estate is among the many assets providing value along with the potential for a substantial return on investment.
4. Have you ever made a sell or a purchase you have regretted?
There are always decisions you might prefer to change after experiencing the outcome, but there is no sense in dwelling on it or being overcome with a sense of regret.
5. What advice would you give inexperienced who are wanting to buy or sell?
There are lots of avenues through which one can gain experience and expertise concerning all aspects of real estate, so I would advise anyone interested in real estate to pursue educational opportunities as well as opportunities to observe or participate in as many transactions as possible.
6. What have you found out to be the best way to market property?
I have not yet determined a single approach that is universally effective, so I have come to the conclusion that the best way to market a property is to rely on a strategy that is individualized based on the property in question.
7. What tools do you believe are essential for success in the real estate industry?
Success in real estate — or any industry, for that matter — requires a strong work ethic and a willingness to pursue continuing education opportunities whenever possible.
8. What has real estate taught you about life?
Real estate has reminded me just how fluid and precarious the concept of value can be, particularly if one is not careful or has not done their homework.
9. How can you use what you have learned in real estate to succeed in other areas?
The real estate industry demands that its professionals are skilled in a number of relevant subjects, so it is necessary to always remain committed to pursuing any continuing educational opportunity that arises.
10. Do you have a mentor who taught you what you know?
I don’t have a mentor in any strict sense of the word, but I do rely on others who simply possess a better understanding than I do.
11. Do you have a feedback system? How does it work?
Yes, I do have a feedback system and am working on pairing it with the feedback system made available through Filippini Wealth Management.
