Relocating to San Diego? Start here.

It depends on your commute, budget, schools and how you want to spend your weekends. The coast offers beaches and village life, inland North County gives you more space, and Central San Diego keeps you close to the city. I grew up here and have spent the last decade helping people buy across the county, so we'll start with what matters most to you, then narrow it down to a shortlist of areas that fit.

Yes. Many of the steps can be handled remotely, including video home tours and electronic signing. I can attend the inspection and walk you through what the inspector finds on a live video call. If you need to sell your current home first, we'll plan the timing together and line up your closing with your move, so everything's ready when you arrive.

The sooner the better. Even if your move is a while away, an early conversation gives you time to learn the areas and get your financing and timeline in order.

Not always. Some buyers plan a focused trip, and others prefer to start with video tours and fly in to see their top choices. On video, I'll show you what the photos don't, including the street and the surrounding neighborhood. If you do fly out, I'll line up your showings and neighborhood tours, so you make the most of your time.
