“Thomas was a great help as our realtor. When we were looking at houses he got us in to see them very quickly and was also a big help in negotiations with the sellers when we were under contract. He was always timely in responding to any questions that we had.”
“We had an outstanding experience working with Diana Cortes on the sale of our home. From start to finish, Diana's professionalism, attention to detail, and deep market knowledge made for a smooth and stress-free process. She kept us informed every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure a successful sale. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional service and would highly recommend Diana to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Patty is an amazing agent. She calmly and kindly helped me through the home buying process. I genuinely do not think I would have purchased my new home without her!”
“Honestly the best realtor we could've ever asked for. The process of looking for something that fits is already stressful enough but to have someone guide you step by step made it all worth it. Anne is incredible! She was on top of communicating with me and my partner, answering our emails and even phone calls whenever we needed help or even reassurance. Anne helped guide us through this terrifying yet exciting process and I would recommend her to anyone looking for the home of their dreams!”
“Edgar was AMAZING! I'm glad my good friend referred me to him. When I went through my first offer rejection, I told him that I wanted tour more houses and I didn't expect that he would make time so quickly and the very next day, we were off on the hunt again! He is very personable and a sweet person. He is empathetic and understood my needs and gave great advice and observations. He was extremely professional, supportive, and responsive throughout the whole process. He never left me in the dark and kept me in the loop all the time. I highly recommend his services:)”

Cardiff offers residents a vibrant coastal lifestyle with easy beach access, charming local shops, abundant parks and trails, and a welcoming, close-knit community.
Cardiff pairs everyday beach living with a creative, outdoorsy spirit. Part of Encinitas, the neighborhood lines up coffee stops, taco joints, and locally loved markets along Coast Highway 101, with sidewalks and bike lanes that make errands and sunset strolls effortless. Surf breaks and tide pools are minutes from your front door at Cardiff State Beach and the campground at San Elijo State Beach, while weekend plans often revolve around casual breakfasts, farmers’ market hauls, and golden-hour beach fires.
Nature is a daily backdrop. The restored wetlands and miles of trails at the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve invite birding, jogging, and family walks, and sports fields, a skate park, and dog areas at Encinitas Community Park keep everyone moving. Public art pops up in unexpected places—don’t miss the locally beloved Magic Carpet Ride sculpture, nicknamed the Cardiff Kook, overlooking the waves.
Families value strong local schools. Younger students attend neighborhood campuses in the Cardiff School District and the wider Encinitas Union School District, with secondary options in the San Dieguito Union High School District. Commuters appreciate quick access to Solana Beach and Carlsbad, while nearby Leucadia adds even more dining and music venues.
