About Rusty
SanDiegoNative.
YourAdvocate.
I was born and raised in San Diego, and this city has always been a huge part of who I am. Growing up, my mom worked in interior design, and I spent a lot of time tagging along to her job sites. Those early experiences sparked a genuine appreciation for homes, neighborhoods, and how people live in the spaces they choose.
Whether you're a first-time homebuyer navigating the competitive San Diego market, a family looking to upsize, or an investor seeking the right opportunity, I bring patience, market expertise, and honest guidance to every relationship.
Our Approach
HowWeWork
Every client, every home, every detail — handled with intention.
Buying
Find Where You Belong
The San Diego market moves fast — and it rewards buyers who are prepared. I start by understanding what you actually need: the lifestyle you want, the commute that works, the schools that matter, and the neighborhoods that match your budget. From there, I handle everything — connecting you with trusted lenders, setting up real-time MLS alerts, scheduling tours on your timeline, and writing offers that win without overpaying. I've helped first-time buyers, military families, and move-up buyers all navigate this market successfully. You'll never feel lost or pressured.

Your Home Deserves More
Selling isn't just about putting a sign in the yard — it's about positioning. I'll walk through your home and build a custom strategy: what to fix, what to skip, how to stage it, and exactly where to price it. You get professional photography, cinematic video tours, targeted digital ads, and exposure across every platform that matters. My negotiation strategy is built around creating urgency and competition among buyers. I track every showing, every piece of feedback, and adjust the plan in real-time to maximize your final number.

Market Expertise
Data-Driven Decisions
I don't just follow the San Diego market — I study it obsessively. I track price-per-square-foot trends, days-on-market shifts, absorption rates, and new development activity across every micro-market from La Jolla to Chula Vista. Whether you're evaluating an investment property, deciding when to list, or trying to understand if a neighborhood is appreciating — I'll give you the real data, not just opinions. Born and raised here, I know which streets appreciate fastest and which areas are about to pop.

“I started my journey to find a second home about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Rusty was very patient with me as I tried to determine which neighborhood I wanted to select. Finally after looking at 4 neighborhoods we ended up where we started — Mission Beach. We found a condo that needed a total renovation. Working with Rusty and his contractor we developed a plan that allowed us to negotiate a very aggressive discount off the seller's suggested price. He continued assisting me even after the close. I will definitely recommend Rusty as a true professional who actually goes the extra mile.”
