San Elijo Hills Directory

With 22 years of experience in North County San Diego real estate, I specialize in helping families make confident, informed moves — whether they’re upsizing, downsizing, relocating, or navigating a major life transition. My approach blends deep hyperlocal expertise with a warm, high-touch experience designed to make clients feel supported from start to finish. I am also a nationally recognized Divorce Real Estate Specialist, educator, and speaker. I work closely with mediators, attorneys, and financial professionals to help couples understand their options and make smart, stress-reducing decisions around the marital home. My clients appreciate my neutrality, compassion, and ability to explain complex real estate decisions in a clear, empowering way. If you’re looking for a trusted, community-first Realtor who understands both the emotional and financial sides of real estate, I would love to guide you!

With over 50 years of experience in North San Diego County, this beautiful region has always been our home. Throughout our 34-year marriage, Melissa dedicated herself to being a stay-at-home mom while Jim worked at UPS until 2016. Now that our kids have grown up and moved out, we find ourselves as enthusiastic “empty-nesters” eager to utilize our time in learning, growing, and assisting our valued clients. As a family, we cherish spending quality time together at the beach, engaging in activities such as surfing, hiking, and camping. Melissa finds joy in cooking, travelling, singing, and keeping up with fashion trends. On the other hand, Jim is a skilled musician, handyman, talented photographer, and avid surfer. We truly love what we do, and we believe our life experience gives us a real advantage when it comes to helping you reach your real estate goals. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, our focus is on making the process clear, personal, and as stress-free as possible, with knowledgeable guidance every step of the way. We’re proudly backed by First Team Real Estate—the #1 brokerage in California for closed transactions and a founding member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World—so you get both local, hands-on support and global reach. We’d love the chance to work with you and help make your real estate journey a great one.
