Karlee VanDyke

Hi, I'm Karlee VanDyke. I've lived in both Poway Unified School District communities and coastal San Diego, so I don't just sell in these areas — I know them from the inside, as a resident, a parent, and a neighbor. I come from a large family with deep local roots, and I built my business the same way: relationships first, always.

Before real estate, I owned a Pilates studio for 15 years. Running a small business for that long teaches you how to actually take care of people — and how to keep them coming back. I'm also a half-empty nester now, which means I understand both sides of a family's housing journey, from growing into a home to letting one go.

I've closed 100+ homes and over $100M in sales volume. I specialize in the $2.5M–$4M luxury market, and a large share of my business is relocation clients, absentee sellers, and probate sales. I've helped clients navigate the emotional and logistical complexity of a probate transaction, managed sales for owners who live out of state, and helped people move not just across town but across the country.

I have deep roots in the tech sector and am highly versed in relocation for tech and medical professionals moving to San Diego — I understand the timelines, the stakes, and the pace these moves require.

I'm a Compass agent with a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation, giving me the range to guide everything from a first move-up buyer to a senior client navigating a major life transition.

My recognitions include Real Trends Verified Top 1.5% nationally, SDAR Circle of Excellence Platinum, San Diego Real Producers Top 100 Agents, and a San Diego Real Producers Rising Star award. I've also served on the Agent Board of Advisors for a team doing $1B in annual sales.

I've built strong referral relationships with agents across the country, and the reason those relationships keep going is simple: I treat every client with the same care I'd want for my own family. That's why so many of those agents continue sending me their clients.

For sellers, I offer a concierge program: 0% financing to cover updates and repairs needed to get a home market-ready, plus a complimentary home warranty. For buyers, I provide access to private, exclusive listings that never hit the open market.

If you send me a referral, I will take great care of your client — and I'll make sure you look good for sending them my way.
