San Diego lost a local icon last Friday. George “King” Stahlman was a bail bondsman known throughout the county and I suspect, thanks to this once being simply a “Navy town,” parts well beyond the county. His passing, while important to many, is not really the stuff of a real estate investment blog. But he was a master marketer. I doubt you could find a dozen people living in San Diego who can’t sing his latest commercial jingle: “It’s better to know me and not need me, than to need me and not know me.”
Even in death, King Stahlman still has something to teach. This, his motto, as reported in an article in the local paper announcing his death: “Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise.”
Vaya con Dios “King” Stahlman…
