Mr. Effinger headed up Shapell's housing operations and was responsible for developing several new-home developments throughout the San Diego region. My position as a journalist covering the real estate industry gave me insights into many home builder executives but I was also especially impressed with Mr. Effinger's keen understanding market trends and conditions and his ability to respond with leading edge product in the most optimum locales. He was among the "best of the bunch" in terms of organizing resources, constructing and marketing his product and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Effinger for any position requiring those traits.”
