Grand Pacific Resorts' Dottie Kavanaugh Celebrates 100th Birthday
|
Carlsbad, CA – February 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: Award-winning resort management company, Grand Pacific Resorts, celebrates the milestone birthday of one of its most beloved team members, San Clemente Cove’s Dottie Kavanaugh who turned 100 years on January 26, 2024.

In a world where retirement is often associated with relaxation and leisure, Dottie is defying expectations. She continues to work in the timeshare industry where she started decades ago and made her mark professionally.

Her experience at San Clemente Cove began in 1988, when she was actually out on the street talking with folks who might be interested. She spent plenty of time at the front desk checking people in as well. She says that’s why people remember her. Her regular attendance at Thursday night Margarita parties didn’t hurt either.

As a young woman, Dottie embarked on her professional journey in the vibrant era of the 1940’s. At the time there were limited job opportunities for women, but Dottie’s determination and tenacity for success kept her working various jobs, including as a dancer in NYC theater productions. A varied resume lists her work at the American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA) and Real Estate Broker. The Navy veteran, who admits to lying about her age to serve, attributes her youthful nature to always having a great dance partner and her love for waterskiing.

Dottie says, “Technology rules now and it is faster and more convenient in getting the job done. However, I still believe in the face-to-face emotional sale. Clearly it  must work because I’ve made hundreds of sales during my timeshare life. Fifty percent of my sales come from upgrades and/or referrals.”

David Brown, Co-President of Grand Pacific Resorts says “Dottie and I have collaborated together for decades now. It is with great pride that I say how happy we are that she has devoted years and years of her professional life to our company and the success of San Clemente Cove.”
