Meet Wayne Smith

Passion. This is the best word I can describe how I feel about the Real Estate Business.

I first decided to become a Realtor at the age of 13 when my first mentor lived across the street. His name was Steve Waters and he was an ex-pro baseball player that sold Real Estate. He was always going places, invited to many social events, helping people, and making a decent living for both him and his family. It wasn’t until March 1st, 1986, that I decided to become a Realtor. I walked into a Realty World, talked to the Broker and was instantly impressed with how friendly Chuck Johnson was, so I started work immediately.

Wow!!! Did I get lucky because an old-timer named Mike Ferry was giving a free presentation on a six-week workshop to which I went immediately. I went and was very happy I did, simply because he brought memories of when I was a child.

As a child, I door knocked nearly all year for several reasons. During Baseball, Basketball, and Football we had to sell candy to pay for our uniforms, so I door knocked. When I had two paper routes, I door knocked in order to keep my routes. During the strawberry season I would pick strawberries in the fields near my home and go door to door selling them. On weekends I would go door to door to both wash cars, and mow lawns.

Going door to door I have found is the number one activity you can do to obtain good quality business. You can mail out high-quality, good-looking marketing brochures and you’ll find that they still will not hire you to sell their home. Just one knock on the door, you meet face to face and within a couple of minutes, the person about to hire you is looking at you, face to face. Just get out there and make it happen.

After working for Realty World for almost a year, I went to Re/Max for 22 consecutive years. First in Yorba Linda, and then with a great friend of mine Ron Holborn in Fullerton. After 5 highly productive years with Ron at Re/Max in Fullerton, I finally followed my love for the Ocean and moved to Newport Beach where I’ve been since 1993.

My Constitution for life is simple:

  • Show up and always show up on time. Do not disrespectful of other people’s time.

  • Listen twice as much as you talk, this is why you have two ears and one mouth.

  • Tell the truth. At the end of the day, the truth always comes out.

  • Never be attached to the outcome. In other words, keep your emotions intact.

  • Always do what’s right even when people are not watching.

It is absolutely phenomenal living here. We have incredible weather, all the Ocean sports you can imagine with surfing, sailing, scuba diving, swimming, etc. We also are blessed with a vast array of entertainment ranging from Surf contest, Elaborate Boat Shows, Jazz Concerts, Fashion Island hosting Concerts in the Courtyard in the Summertime, and one of the world largest Christmas Trees at Christmas, the Coronado Del Mar Christmas Walk, the Susan Komen Walk, the Taste of Newport Beach, and talk about the fine Restaurants on the water with Sunset Views, etc.

Currently, I am single, I have a beautiful daughter Taylor, and just absolutely love life. I love going places and exploring new things constantly like sporting events, music of all kinds, and particularly love going to events where I can learn new from. I also have a passion for travel, having traveled quite extensively. I probably love going to new lands, cultures and have a strong appreciation for the county I live in.

Client Testimonial

“You are indeed a real estate matchmaker! No one believes the trade you pulled off with selling my Ocean Blvd. home! I had listed the property with another real estate agent for over a year without results. While we made repairs and you were preparing marketing materials, you suggested I look at a home down the street. You knew the seller wanted to trade up, and I was looking to downsize.

Our homes were similar, and I liked the house, so I agreed to have you contact his real estate agent regarding a possible trade. Both parties were thrilled, and we completed a seamless multi-million dollar transaction in a down market. Your exceptional service, including helping me pack and providing professional packing services, is commendable. A few years after retiring from Ensign, you sold my CDM home and helped me find a great condo on Coronado Island. While I miss CDM, I enjoy more time with family and grandchildren.” C. Mabry
