“Six years ago, we met Kelly Lambo while trying to purchase a home that ultimately ended up outside of our budget. While that chapter didn't work out, little did we know we had found the realtor who would eventually help us purchase our dream home in North Clairemont. Over those six years, Kelly never disappeared. She periodically checked in, asked how our family was doing, and stayed connected without ever making us feel like a transaction. Every time a house caught our eye, no matter how random the timing, Kelly would somehow find a way to make herself available for a showing. Looking back, I imagine our constant back-and-forth, endless questions, pickiness, and occasional indecisiveness might have frustrated many agents. Kelly never let us feel that way. What stood out most was that she never rushed us into a decision. In fact, many times she played devil's advocate, challenging us to think through whether a home was truly the right fit for our family. It was never about making a sale. It was about building a relationship, learning what mattered most to us, and helping us make the best decision possible. With every house we viewed, she took mental notes and refined the search. Then, after six years, the house appeared. We toured it on a Saturday, submitted an offer on Monday, and the rest is history. What we learned is that while Kelly is patient and thoughtful during the search process, once she gets the green light, it's GO time. She assembled an incredible team around us, from home inspectors and loan officers to trusted external resources who could answer every question we had. She knew when to push, when to wait, and when to give a little ground to keep things moving in the right direction. Leaving our first home, the only home our children had ever known, was more emotional than we expected. During that process, Kelly became more than our realtor. She was part strategist, part counselor, and part psychologist, helping us work through the emotions while ensuring we were making a decision we truly felt confident about. Kelly is a master of her craft, but what truly sets her apart isn't just her knowledge of real estate. It's the relationships she builds with her clients, her team, and even the agents on the other side of the transaction. Those relationships create trust, solve problems, and ultimately make the impossible feel achievable. Kelly, thank you for your patience, guidance, honesty, and unwavering support over the last six years. We couldn't imagine a better partner to help our family take this next step. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely puts people before transactions, we can't recommend Kelly highly enough.”

Learn more about what South Beach has to offer.
South Beach offers residents a sunlit, walkable coastal lifestyle with a tight-knit community, easy access to beaches and parks, and a welcoming mix of dining and social spaces.
South Beach in Carlsbad stands out from nearby coastal pockets by feeling like a true extension of downtown Carlsbad Village while still keeping a quieter, neighborhood rhythm. Residents enjoy being close to the sand at Carlsbad State Beach and the walkable energy of Carlsbad Village, all without giving up a residential sense of community.
Locals stroll to cafes and restaurants along Carlsbad Village Drive and the oceanfront pathways at Tamarack Surf Beach for sunset. The coastal rail trail and bike routes create an easy car‑light lifestyle, and nearby Holiday Park offers lawn space, playgrounds, and community events. Families often look to neighborhood schools in Carlsbad Unified School District while commuters appreciate access to the Carlsbad Village Station for Coaster rail service.
Housing in South Beach ranges from classic beach cottages and townhomes to updated condos with ocean proximity, which creates options for both move‑up buyers and downsizers. Inventory can be tight and pricing moves quickly when something close to the water hits the market. For sellers, preparing a property to show its coastal lifestyle benefits is essential. For buyers, lining up financing and understanding micro‑differences between streets can make a big impact.
In a market as timing‑sensitive as South Beach, Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with a real estate professional who knows how to navigate the neighborhood and act at the right moment.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“What a blessing to work with Shishana!! I had an excellent experience with her great attitude, awesome negotiation skills, savy experience to make the sale happen! She always went the extra mile, had great real estate/contractor and lender connections, many suggestions to help make my home buying process amazing! Shishana was patient with a difficult seller, very enthusiastic and celebrated my success as we moved forward toward closing, worked with my crazy schedule, always treating my business as a valued customer! Definitely will work with her in the future, and refer friends!! :)”
“Jose was very helpful and understanding of my needs when looking for a house, I am new to the area and he was able to give me plenty of insight on areas to look for. It felt like he did all of the work, so I didn’t have to. I would def recommend Jose as a realtor even if you’re not looking to buy immediately, he’s pretty easy going and stays at your pace when buying/selling a houses!”
“Speak about a master coordinator. No only did Alex put my home in escrow less than a week from listing it, he also put us in escrow on the home we were moving into as our replacement property in concurrence to our sale. Alex showed us how extremely knowledgeable he was in selling our home in San Diego County and helping us close on time with our new home in Temecula Riverside County. Alex understood both the SD and Riverside real estate markets. Alex is a very upbeat person and REALTOR. Alex Obeso was upfront with us & told us a few times "My Job Is To Work For You & Nobody Else" His comments were evident; he takes a “clients come first” approach in every interaction we encountered from the start. As of today, Alex has helped us even after closing escrow. Recently we had a major water leak, we called Alex. Alex got us our insurance info, contacted a water remediation company and coordinated all the work. Today we have a new kitchen. Alex is a true professional in every sense of the word, and a perfect example of what customer service should be. If you need a dedicated, top-notch REALTOR, Alex is the only REALTOR”
“David is very personable, professional and receptive to our needs and concerns. He was a pleasure to work with, and very knowledgeable. He understands the intricacies of required forms and negotiating tactics. I felt our house sale was in good hands. He did not make us jump through hoops to sell our home. We were able to list it quickly with minimal work. He appreciated our house for what it was, and when it came time to show it, it showed beautifully. We were able to sell and get an offer fast.”
“Alexxis was absolutely amazing throughout our home-buying journey! He was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and always there to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process. Buying a home can be stressful, but Alexxis made everything feel so much easier and gave us confidence along the way. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we found the right home and that everything went smoothly. We are so grateful for all of his hard work, dedication, and support. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and is there for you every step of the way, my husband and I highly recommend Alexxis! Thank you, Alexxis, for helping us with such an important milestone in our lives and for helping us find our new home!”
“This is our second time working with JC Agajanian and it reinforced the wisdom of our decision to call him again. JC applied his expertise across all aspects of the selling experience in a thorough and supportive way. He and his team use all of the latest tools available to market your property and have a network of contacts to meet all of your property needs whether it be paint touch-ups to staging to plumbing, etc. which really sets them apart from other agents. We highly recommend JC Agajanian to get your property assessed, prepped and sold!”
“Glen helped us sell a family home in Point Loma after it had been in the family for many years. This wasn't just a normal real estate transaction for us and there were a lot of emotions and decisions involved. The house also needed some updating before we could sell it. Glen was really helpful in determining what made sense to fix and what we should just leave alone. He brought in people to help with the cleanout, repairs and preparation of the property and helped keep everything organized. Because there were multiple family members involved, communication was especially important. Glen kept everyone informed and explained things in a way that was easy to understand without overwhelming us with unnecessary details. When we received offers he walked us through the price, financing and contingencies so we could make the decision together. The entire process was handled very professionally and with a lot of patience. If you are selling an inherited home or dealing with a trust property, having someone who understands that type of situation makes a huge difference.”
“If you’re buying a home and not using an exclusive Buyer’s Agent, you’re doing it all wrong. And if you’re in San Diego, and that Buyer’s Agent isn’t Justin Gramm at Globella Buyers Realty, you’re missing out on some opportunities. Justin doesn’t have listings to sell you; rather, he’s going to work with you to find your perfect home. He has technology tools to help focus on what’s most important to you - in my case, it was location, a newer build, an office on the main floor and a private garage. We looked at 5 homes in Civita and Escala the first day; all would have been suitable, but #4 on the list was perfect for me. When it came to preparing an offer Justin had insight and advice that saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and our offer was so clean and simple it was immediately accepted by the Sellers. Justin kept the transaction on track through all our inspections and document signing and was highly responsive to all my questions and issues. Even if you don’t use Justin, you should spend some time on his website as he has a lot of good information, resources and insight for anyone buying a home.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Kyndal. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking, personable, and strategic throughout the entire process of selling our home. Kyndal didn’t just put our house on the market and hope for the best. She took the time to understand our goals, helped us position the property correctly, and had a clear strategy for getting it in front of the right buyers. Her knowledge of the neighborhood and local market, combined with her extensive connections, made a huge difference. What impressed us most was her communication and follow through. She was always responsive, kept us informed, and was consistently proactive in handling everything that came up. We always felt like she was genuinely working for us and protecting our best interests. The results speak for themselves, Kyndal sold our house within just over two weeks of being on the market, and she got us the price we wanted. That is an incredible outcome, especially with a transaction of this size and complexity. Beyond her professionalism and expertise, Kyndal is simply a great person to work with. She is warm, personable, easy to talk to, and made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. We honestly feel like we didn’t just find a great real estate agent, we made a friend in the process. If you’re looking for an agent who knows the market, has strong connections, communicates exceptionally well, and is willing to put in the work to get the job done, we would absolutely recommend Kyndal. She earned our trust from day one and delivered exactly what we needed. We would work with her again without hesitation.”
“Kara did an incredible job selling our Leucadia property. What we appreciated most was that she didn’t just put the house on the market and wait for an offer. She was involved in every detail, from the preparation, marketing and presentation of the property to negotiating with buyers and navigating some unexpected challenges during escrow. She gave us honest advice, communicated constantly, and always made decisions based on what was best for us as sellers. There were definitely moments when the transaction could have become very stressful, but Kara handled everything with confidence and professionalism. We always felt like she had our best interests in mind. This is the second time I have hired Kara as my Realtor and I will continue to do so in the future.”
“I first worked with Rich in 2018 when I bought my home, and I came back to him when it was time to sell. That says a lot. He already knew the house and the neighborhood, and he handled the sale with the same care and professionalism he showed the first time around. Selling took longer than I expected, but Rich stayed on it, kept me updated, and found the right buyer. We got to the finish line, and I never felt like I was managing the process alone. He’s straightforward, responsive, and genuinely invested in the outcome—not just the transaction. After years of working together, I’m glad I trusted him with both the purchase and the sale. I’d recommend him without hesitation.”
“I worked with Nicci on this sale and it was the absolute best experience. Everyone involved in this sale went above and beyond to help me with everything that came my way. Living in Virginia and selling a property on the opposite side of the country would have been stressful without this team. The communication was top notch. It was like working with a family. I knew Nicci had my back and it was honestly the best decision to work with her on this. I highly highly recommend her!!!”
“Tiana did a fantastic job helping to sell our parent's home. She brought in experts to help us with necessary work, kept us informed of all the steps and helped us sell weeks before we thought possible. The work was transparent, timely and we felt very represented through the whole process. We highly recommend her and the Massa team.”
“We had an outstanding experience working with Brody Trotter as our realtor. From the very beginning, he was attentive, responsive, and truly took the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for in a home. Brody was instrumental in helping us secure our new place and consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire process. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, always keeping us informed and looking out for our best interests. What really sets Brody apart is that his commitment didn't end at closing. Even after the sale, he has continued to check in with us to make sure we're comfortable, settling in well, and have everything we need in our new home. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring realtor, we highly recommend Brody Trotter. We couldn't be happier with our experience and are incredibly grateful for all of his help. Thank you, Brody, for helping us find and transition into our new home! you are part of our family now and we look forward to doing this all over again with you someday!”
“We interviewed several Carmel Valley Realtors before choosing Billie Bourgeois to sell our home, and we are so glad we chose her. We had seen Billie in action throughout the Carmel Valley community and knew she had an incredible network, strong local relationships, and a proven track record of getting results. From preparing our home for the market with all of her recommended contractors, to pre-marketing, marketing, open houses, buyer feedback, negotiations, and ultimately getting it sold, Billie was involved every step of the way. Her knowledge of Carmel Valley, the local market and San Diego’s real estate market as a whole was invaluable, but what impressed us most was how hard she worked and how personally invested she was in getting us the best possible outcome. We experienced firsthand just how valuable that became when our first buyer unexpectedly fell out of escrow. Instead of losing momentum, Billie immediately went back to work. Within just two days of putting our home back on the market, she generated three showings and was able to get us back into escrow. In this market, that was an incredible result and really demonstrated the strength of her marketing, her relationships within the Carmel Valley real estate community, and how relentlessly she works for her clients. I started calling Billie “Diamond" because she truly stands out among the rest and shines. I also compared her to a tiger because she is determined, strategic, and protective of her clients while knowing exactly how and when to negotiate on their behalf. Billie did all of this for my wife and I and we are so very grateful. Billie communicated with us throughout the entire process, followed up relentlessly with buyers and agents, and was always straightforward about what she was seeing in the market and what she recommended. Even when circumstances changed unexpectedly, we always felt like she had a plan and was working to keep us moving forward. If you’re looking for a Carmel Valley Realtor or San Diego Realtor who truly knows the community, has deep local relationships, markets aggressively, negotiates strategically, and will advocate for you from beginning to end, we highly recommend Billie Bourgeois, team lead of Billie Bourgeois & Associates with Real Brokerage. She earned our trust, delivered when it mattered, and absolutely lived up to the reputation that made us choose her in the first place.”
“Tristen stuck it out with me for a year as we searched for a Home I liked. He never gave up on me and always had my best interest. He help me achieve my goal of purchasing another home.”
“Sara worked tirelessly on our behalf. With her interior decorating skills, she made our place look like a 5 star resort. We appreciated her multi-faceted marketing strategies, and weekly updates. A truly professional agent, friendly, and so rewarding to work with, an excellent choice for your next sale!”
“Our estate home in Scripps Ranch, San Diego was on the market with another realtor from March through June this year We really liked that realtor, but the home did not sell External economic conditions made it very difficult to sell homes in Scripps Ranch priced in the 1.8 to $2,000,000 category We had known Chad since before our home went on the market, but did not choose him as the listing agent initially After our contract with our agent expired, we had Chad list our home, and he sold it in 10 days! His professionalism, sensitivity to our needs, and market understanding are absolutely second to none Chad connected us with his corporate EXP marketing network and conducted all showings and communication with prospective buyers and agents personally In addition to being a licensed real estate agent, Chad is a certified financial planner with an MBA in business We're happy to recommend Chad without reservation and are confident he will perform exceptionally for you and he has for us”
“Our agent, Jocelyn, was great. She worked with us very closely and was able to quickly answer any questions we had and to help resolve any issues that came up. She's the best and my family was very fortunate to have her by our side when it came to the unpleasant task of trying to sell a piece of real estate, which was given to us due to the recent passing of our mother. Thanks again!”
