Every home sale has a story, as they say. This one started with a family that was ready for their next chapter.

Before we ever put their Eastlake Greens home on the market, we first helped them secure their replacement home in another part of San Diego. Once that piece was in place, we worked together on preparation, staging, pricing, and marketing to position their property for success.

The result?

✅ 12 offers
✅ 6 days on market
✅ $1.2 million sale

What I'm most proud of isn't the sales price; it's helping our clients move forward with confidence during an important transition.

Using Kimberly Schmidt & Associates' "Confident Move Method,™" which incorporates data-driven strategy, concierge-level preparation, and an education-first approach, we helped guide every step of the process from purchase to sale.

Thinking about relocating to San Diego?

One of the biggest misconceptions about moving here is that buying a home remotely is just like buying a home locally. It isn't.

When you're coordinating a move from another city or state, you're navigating unfamiliar neighborhoods, different market dynamics, and often a very specific timeline. That's why we've developed a specialized process for relocation clients through the Remote Transition Module of our Confident Move Method.

This approach includes:
✅ Video-first property evaluations
✅ Guidance on San Diego's unique neighborhoods and micro-climates
✅ Coordinated timelines for buyers who are also selling a home
✅ Concierge-level communication and escrow management
✅ A strategy designed to minimize surprises and reduce stress

In my newest blog and companion video, I break down exactly how we help relocation clients buy with confidence, whether they're moving from across California or across the country.

Relocating to San Diego? Learn how to coordinate your move, buy with confidence from a distance, and navigate San Diego's housing market with less stress.

What makes Rancho Santa Fe one of the most desirable luxury communities in all of Southern California?

In my latest American Dream TV segment (next segment out in a couple of weeks!), I shared my top 5 things to love most about living in Rancho Santa Fe, from the privacy and estate lifestyle to the golf, equestrian culture, and beautiful natural surroundings that make this community so unique.

I recently turned this ADTV segment into a full blog post on my website as part of my ongoing San Diego lifestyle and neighborhood series. Also, there is a full neighborhood guide for Rancho Santa Fe on my website as well.

The April 2026 San Diego housing market numbers are in, and I review them in my latest blog with accompanying video.

Buyer demand is picking back up, detached inventory tightened significantly, and prices are still climbing in many parts of the County despite affordability challenges.

A few key takeaways from this month’s market update:

• Detached pending sales increased 6.7%
• Attached pending sales jumped 13.8%
• Detached inventory dropped more than 22% year-over-year
• The median detached home price reached $1.1M

At the same time, homes that are overpriced are sitting longer, while well-prepared and strategically positioned homes are still attracting strong activity and competitive offers.

One thing I’m particularly proud of: my listings are averaging just 17 days on market so far in 2026, compared to the broader San Diego market average of 35 days. That's another way of saying that my seller's homes are selling in roughly half the time of the average house in San Diego! And for 2026, my sold price to list price ratio is 100%, which is out-performing the average for San Diego, which is just under 99%.
