What do Clients Say?

“Shirley is a true professional. My girlfriend and I had been looking for a condo that we could afford. After months of looking, Shirley helped us find exactly what we were looking for. Will be working with her for all real estate endeavors moving forward. She is on top of her game and would highly recommend”

Jordan S. (Greater San Diego)

“We happily recommend Shirley Smith to our La Jolla Friends and neighbors. We found our dream retirement home in Idaho and didn’t know how we could buy it without selling our La Jolla home first. Our long-time friend, Jim Worley, introduced us to Shirley Smith who took control of the sale of our La Jolla home. She quickly arranged for minimalist styling, professional photography, and she created our very own property website with an interactive 3-D tour! It was Amazing! Shirley’s expertise in pricing advice and negotiation skills were spot on. The results speak for themselves. The house sold in seven (7) days. Her personal attention, professionalism, and communication of what buyers expect in our price range were keys in getting our home sold so quickly.Her commitment to quality and timeliness in action really paid off. With the expert marketing of our La Jolla home from Shirley Smith we would whole-heartedly recommend Shirley to our friends, neighbors, family and colleagues.“

Rod and Jan C. (La Jolla)

"My husband and I worked with Shirley to purchase a home in Imperial Beach and really can't say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Shirley made it as painless and straight forward as possible. We highly recommend her."

About Shirley

As a native Californian, I purchased my first property when I was 19 years old. Having a knack for remodeling, I continued to purchase and project manage several renovations in the USA and Australia, where I lived for many years.

My former career as a psychotherapist, executive coach and best-selling author of five books, provided me with solid negotiation skills, as well as the ability to really listen. I know how to ask the right questions to draw out what people truly need and desire in a home or investment property and accentuate the key features to focus on in selling a property for maximum profit.

Since moving back to California in 2015, I have purchased my own home as well as two investment properties in Coronado and Imperial Beach. Two homes were built from the ground up and the third was a total remodel, making a very ugly house into a beautiful and functional beach house. Additionally, I have helped numerous clients sell, purchase and invest in California real estate.

Looking to invest or purchase? Let me help you find your next ideal home or investment property.

Thinking about selling? I would love to help you sell your home for maximum profit. The right “price” is not the only important factor in selling your property. “Presentation” is equally vital. Let me show you the marketing and presentation skills I’ve used to “wow” buyers and maximize your results.

My aim is to bring you resources to:

·      Preserve your wealth

·      Minimize your tax

·      Optimize your real estate “buy–sell–hold” timing

I’d love to hear from you and am happy to answer any real estate questions you may have.
