Episode 93, Todd Wiley, Founding Agent of Compass San Francisco

Pleased to have Todd Wiley on the Real Takk Pod. Todd is the Founding agent of Compass San Francisco.  Upon graduating from San Francisco University, Todd started his career at ATT Wireless back on October 1994, then worked his way through several tech companies & ultimately switched careers getting his real estate license in 2004.  For the next 11 years, Todd ran a successful real estate business before ultimately being selected to represent our first Compass flagship office in the Bay Area.     Todd is a specialist in trust and probate cases, Todd focuses a portion of his business on the development of his professional relationships with attorneys, fiduciaries, accountants, and financial planners. As a result, Todd has been a consistent top-producing agent for the last decade, performing in the top 1% out of real estate agents in San Francisco. 

 

What I love about Tom is that he is not just a big real estate nerd.  Todd is a skilled outdoorsman, putting his mark in the surfing community in California judging competitions & traveling the world chasing the perfect wave.  He is also a skilled fisherman where he frequently shows off his stock of salmon that he calls “mowing the lawn’  trolling along the coastline of California on his boat.  Todd has one of my favorite Instagram accounts in the real estate industry.  He’s authentic, positive, and informative with his content.  Please follow him @thewileyteamsf along with his websites
