How We Manage the Details So You Don’t Have To

If you have worked with us, you know that Tracie is extremely efficient, organized, detail oriented, and manages escrow like a true professional. When we open a new escrow, we are under a tight timeline to perform and protect our clients. We have a current escrow with an out of town buyer. We can handle 90% of a sale for clients who are out of the area. Tracie is managing about 10 inspections, multiple vendors, phone calls, bids, and estimates. Calls with clients, escrow, title, the seller's...

With the warmer weather, the market is behaving more like mid-summer than late winter. There is real momentum right now. In conversations with agents across the coast, most are working with active buyers, but there continues to be limited new inventory coming to market. We’re not seeing prices bid up week after week, but homes are selling and good properties are moving. If interest rates were to come down, this could turn into a much faster-moving market. There is a large group of would-be...

We’ve been BUSY!! We’re incredibly grateful for the trust our clients place in us and for the referrals that continue to come our way. This has been a challenging market for some agents, but we’ve been fortunate to work with exceptional clients who value strategy, communication, and results. That connection is what drives us to fight hard for the best possible outcome every time. We have a great success story below that’s a perfect example of that. We also have some great property picks this...

If the current momentum in the market continues as it has over the last two months, 2026 could be a good year for San Diego real estate. In the first three weeks of January, we have four pending or closed sales. All of them have been cash buyers, and three were multiple-offer situations. While this is a small sample of the market, it’s a real-time, first-person snapshot. We picked five new listings this week. See our commentary below on why we like them. Tracie is putting a fun spin on her...

It has felt like summer in January this past week. Crystal clear skies and great beach weather all around. We have been showing three different out-of-town clients this week, and San Diego really sells itself. This is when we are happy to pay that “sunshine tax” to live here. We had a productive week closing one escrow, opening another, and moving several others forward. Inventory is tight across the board right now, but there have been some great listings hitting the market and they are...

We are back and running in 2026. Truthfully, we never really stopped over the holidays and currently have over $9M in escrow closing this month. We are looking forward to a strong year ahead and are here to help in any way we can. We are working hard for buyers to find opportunities both on and off market. Our sellers continue to leverage our experience, networks, and extensive marketing to get homes into escrow quickly, at top dollar, and with strong buyers. Our last three listings in...

As we step into the new year, we want to sincerely thank you for the trust, conversations, and relationships we’ve been fortunate to be a part of this past year. Helping our clients navigate important real estate decisions is something we never take lightly, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to do this work alongside such thoughtful people. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited for what’s to come and remain committed to providing clear guidance, strong strategy, and a steady hand in an...

What a week! Who says it’s slow at the end of the year? Here’s a snapshot of what we accomplished in the last week: 3 new listings, 2 under contract, 2 closed sales, prepped an upcoming listing, and showed several buyers... plus all the other activities like photos, inspections, private showings, painting/staging, and more. We are ALWAYS working for our clients. Let’s have a conversation about your 2026 ideas and plans. The better we communicate, the better we can help, and the better the...

Heating Up: Our Latest Listings & Top Picks We are on fire right now with listings, escrows, buyers, and offers. One thing about the San Diego market—it's year-round. We don’t experience the same seasonality that colder markets do. This week, we pulled together a handful of really strong options coming to market that we expect will get a lot of activity. In particular, we just launched two of our own listings (Teatro & Orchard) that are arguably the best of the bunch. While we may be biased,...

Real-Time Coastal Market Pulse We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are easing into the holiday season. We snuck away to Palm Springs for a couple of days with friends, which was a nice reset before things get busy again. On the real estate front, activity has definitely picked up. The calls, the showings, the buyer inquiries, even our website traffic has picked up momentum. We’re working with a lot of active buyers right now and have several great listings coming soon in La Jolla,...
