Amena Ibraham - REALTOR®

Meet Ameena Ibrahim







I was born in Santa Barbara, that quintessential Southern California gem known for its coastal charm and close-knit community. Growing up there taught me early on the importance of connection, belonging, and relationships—the very same qualities that now define how I work with my clients in real estate.

After high school, I moved to San Diego for college, but even then I knew I was searching for more. I had an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to create something of my own. That drive led me to start an Airbnb business that eventually expanded across multiple states. My journey took me from the steady growth of Arizona to the vibrant energy of Miami, to the nonstop pace of New York, and even to the refined calm of Connecticut. Each stop taught me something new about markets, people, and strategy—and all of it shaped how I approach real estate today.

About a year ago, I felt the unmistakable pull to return home to California. After all my travels, I realized that San Diego has the perfect balance: opportunity, beauty, and that California energy that just can’t be replicated anywhere else. I knew this was where I wanted to plant my roots and help others do the same.

Today, I bring that same entrepreneurial drive and experience from building a multi-state Airbnb business into my work as a real estate agent. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, or building an investment portfolio, I’m here to guide you through the process with confidence, clarity, and creativity. I understand what it takes to analyze a market, identify the best opportunities, and make strategic decisions that create long-term value.

My clients describe me as entrepreneurial, extroverted, and a force of nature. I believe in being proactive, communicative, and fully invested in every transaction. My favorite part of this business is simple: getting to help people. Seeing the joy on a buyer’s face when they get their keys, or helping a seller maximize their return, is what keeps me motivated every single day.


For buyers, my biggest piece of advice is to start with clarity—get pre-approved, know your non-negotiables, and act decisively when you find the right home. For sellers, presentation is everything. A well-staged, beautifully marketed home creates buzz, drives demand, and helps you sell faster and for more money. And for investors, it’s about recognizing that San Diego’s real estate market isn’t just about homes—it’s about strategy, timing, and opportunity.

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll usually find me soaking in the views in Point Loma, La Jolla, or Coronado, or enjoying the energy of the Gaslamp and Del Mar. I’m also a singer and performer at heart, so if you ever catch me humming along to “Shining” by Beyoncé, just know—it’s my theme song for a reason.


Born in one of California’s most picturesque cities and shaped by experiences across the country, I’ve built my career on connection, hustle, and heart. If you’re ready to buy, sell, or invest in San Diego, I’d love to help you make your next move with confidence.

Bianca Gonzalez - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 02283415

Hi, I’m Bianca Gonzalez, and I’m proud to serve the San Diego community as a real estate professional. I grew up in Poway, so San Diego has always been home to me, and I know the neighborhoods here on a personal level.



If you had flipped through my yearbook, you’d probably find “Most Likely to Lift You Up” under my name, because encouragement and support are a big part of who I am. Today, I define myself by three roles: a trusted advisor, a problem solver, and a dedicated advocate for my clients.


My journey into real estate started with inspiration from my sister-in-law, who built a successful career in San Bernardino County. Watching her impact motivated me to follow this path, and I quickly realized how rewarding it is to guide people through such an important milestone. My favorite part of the job is making the process easier and taking as much stress off my clients as possible.


Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, my advice is simple: don’t settle. The right home or the right offer is out there, and my job is to make sure you don’t compromise on your goals.
Some of my favorite places in San Diego reflect my roots and my personality.


Poway will always hold a special place in my heart since it’s where I grew up. For a great night out, I recommend Morton’s Steakhouse, and if you want a fun fact about me, I’m also a powerlifter—so I know a thing or two about strength, both in and out of the gym. If I had a theme song, it would be “On Top of the World” by Imagine Dragons, because that’s how I want my clients to feel when they close on the right home.



I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and helping you achieve your real estate goals here in beautiful San Diego.

Hi, I’m Cecilia Tang — a real estate agent proudly serving the vibrant and diverse communities of San Diego.


My journey started in Buenos Aires, Argentina, continued through Bolivia, and eventually brought me to Salt Lake City, Utah when I was 14.

Real estate isn’t just a career for me — it’s a calling. With a background in leasing and property management, I’ve witnessed the profound impact a home or investment property can have on someone’s life. I got into this business because I wanted to build something meaningful on my terms while helping people navigate one of the most important decisions they’ll ever make.

When I’m not negotiating contracts or exploring the latest listings, you’ll probably find me soaking up the sunset at Sunset Cliffs, wandering through Seaport Village, or catching a match of pickleball.


A few fun facts? I speak English, Spanish, and Chinese. I’m a loving partner, a loyal friend, and a proud daughter. I’m also a fan of warm, uplifting moments — my theme song? Golden Hour by JVKE.

I’m David Simpson, a San Diego real estate agent who believes real estate is about so much more than houses—it’s about people, purpose, and building a lasting future.



After a fulfilling career as a Navy civilian, I stepped into real estate because it gave me a way to serve others more personally and meaningfully. My wife, children, and I have been blessed to own our home as well as a few investment properties, so I’ve seen firsthand how real estate can create both financial security and opportunity. But what truly drives me isn’t just the financial side—it’s the relationships. Walking alongside clients—helping buyers find their future and sellers protect their legacy—is a responsibility I take seriously and a privilege I don’t take lightly.



My approach is simple: Relationships first, always. You’ll never be treated like a transaction with me. I provide the Insight you need to make smart, grounded decisions, the Support so you never feel alone, and the Empowerment to stay in control—whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property you’ve poured years into, or stepping into real estate investing. R.I.S.E. with David



Faith, family, and connection guide everything I do. As a follower of Christ, a husband, a father, and a lay leader in my local church, I believe in showing up with love, patience, and a willingness to listen. Legacy is also deeply important to me—I want my work to matter not just today, but for generations to come. That’s why I approach every client’s goals with the same care and diligence I’d give my own family.



Outside of real estate, I love sharing meals with friends and family, serving in my church, and enjoying simple joys—like a long drive in one of the Mazda Miatas I’ve collected over the years. I’m also a lifelong learner who believes in asking questions, trying new things, and connecting deeply with people. And yes—I’ll never turn down a good hug.



Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, my mission is clear: to help you move forward with confidence, protect what you’ve built, and build a stronger, more secure future.

Who Represents You Matters!


Gabrielle Hazan - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 02205863

I believe real estate is far more than buying or selling a house—it’s about creating a lifestyle, building a future, and finding a place that truly feels like home. I’m passionate about constantly improving, striving to be 1% better every day, learning more, and refining my craft. Having personally bought, sold, and renovated multiple homes, I understand firsthand the joys—and sometimes challenges—that come with homeownership. I truly believe real estate is one of the most powerful ways to build generational wealth, and I’m committed to educating my clients so they can make informed, confident decisions every step of the way.

Every client relationship I build is guided by the Golden Rule—treating others exactly as I would want to be treated. That principle is at the heart of my work and motivates me every single day.

I’m proud to call San Diego home. Having lived in many parts of the country, there’s something truly special about this city—the mild weather, the laid-back vibes, and the endless ways to enjoy life outdoors. From sparkling coastlines and hidden hiking trails to the vibrant food scene and welcoming communities, San Diego has captured my heart. Helping my clients discover the joy of living here and find their perfect home is one of my greatest passions.

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll usually find me with my husband and our kids—cheering on my son at basketball games, supporting my daughter’s dance journey, riding motorcycles, walking our labradoodle, or getting lost in a great audiobook (I’m a voracious reader!). I love exploring trails and the outdoors, and family and faith are central to my life—they keep me grounded and remind me why finding the right home is so meaningful.

My background in hospitality, construction, and property management gives me a unique edge: I know what it takes to provide exceptional service, I understand homes inside and out, and I thrive in negotiations. Clients know me as both a compassionate guide and a fierce advocate, ensuring a smooth process while protecting their best interests. Being part of the Whissel Realty Team, the #1 team in San Diego, allows me to back every client with an incredible powerhouse of support. Together, we’ve helped over 4,000 clients—because who represents you truly matters.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: I want to be more than your realtor. I strive to be your trusted advisor, your connector, and your advocate—helping you not just find a home, but a lifestyle and a future you love. This business is built on referrals, and my ultimate goal is to ensure you have a wonderful experience with me and my team while helping me engage with the people you care about most.

Jarrod Norris - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 01933706

I was born and raised here in San Diego and grew up in the East County area. I graduated high school at Granite hills where I played water polo and was also on the swim team. I even went to college here in San Diego at California State University San Marcos where I received my Bachelors in Marketing. I worked full time in order to pay for my tuition where working full time while going to school full time had helped me develop a strong work ethic.

Afterwards, I did marketing for Sirius Satellite Radio and Sony. A friend of mine saw my ability to work with people and understand sales and suggested I join his team in real estate, and that is how my career started. I quickly fell in love with this industry, helping people succeed in achieving their goal in buying and selling a home.

For fun, I love to travel, and I have been to some incredible places such as India, Germany, Italy, France, just to name a few. I enjoy playing cornhole and I play in competitive weekly tournaments. I am not the best by any means but still enjoy competing.

Something else fun about me is that I have seven siblings. Four of my siblings were adopted and two were foster siblings with one biological. So now that I am older I realize even more just how big of hearts my parents have. Hopefully I can spread love and joy to the world as much as they have.


J.C. Agajanian - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 01397607

Born and raised in Hermosa Beach, higher education brought me to San Diego in the late 90’s. After graduating with a degree in Business with an emphasis in Marketing I knew my ultimate goal was to own and invest in Real Estate but wasn’t sure of the career path to take me there at the time. Soon after school, I entered the Real Estate industry on the mortgage side of the business. Starting there has served as a great foundation for me with the understanding of how loans work, underwriters’ perspectives, and the inner working of mortgage office. 

From there, I pivoted into a long stint focusing exclusively on foreclosure sales beginning in 2008, during the economic downturn. My time in that space and the high volume of transactions helped me quickly acquire meaningful experience in that specific field including asset management, property preservation, an extensive knowledge of the entire county of San Diego, and of course the important part; Real Estate sales! 

When the market began to rebound, my focus also returned to individual sellers and buyers which has been the core business I have concentrated on and developed over the past decade. 

While working through these phases professionally, my personal life developed as well. I married my high school sweetheart, we bought our first home at Sunset Cliffs, and began our family, now complete with two girls and a boy who are currently in middle school and jr. high in Point Loma. 

I pride myself on first understanding what you want and need in your next Real Estate transaction and then developing a close connection so I can best serve you and your family.

It's because of this client-centric approach I’m proud to say the majority of my business is repeat and referral-driven. I look forward to working together to help make your real estate dreams a reality. As we like to say, Who Represents You Matters!

Hi, I’m Jessica Jones — a San Diego-based real estate agent, DJ, and entrepreneur with a love for creativity, independence, and helping people find home.

I grew up in a tiny town called Esperance, just outside of Albany, NY. My grandfather was a door-to-door salesman, and his fearless, people-first approach to life and business is something I carry with me to this day. I’ve always been drawn to unconventional paths — the kind that let me work independently, connect deeply, and do things a little differently.

After college, I moved to LA for a music internship and instantly fell in love with the sunshine and culture. In 2020, I came to San Diego on a whim, thinking I’d stay for six months. But between the clean beaches, the laid-back vibe, and the free parking near the coast, won me over. I’ve left a few times, but every time I return to San Diego, it feels like home — and the more I travel, the more grateful I am to call this city mine.

Real estate felt like a natural next chapter. It’s a business built on relationships, hustle, and heart — and it gives me the freedom to be fully myself. I’m here to guide you through the buying, selling, or investing process with clarity, honesty, and a real passion for this place and its people.

Whether you're searching for your first home, investing in something new, or letting go of a place you’ve loved, I’d be honored to help you take that next step — and maybe even fall a little more in love with San Diego along the way.

Joseph Lopez – San Diego Real Estate Agent


I grew up in Joliet, Illinois, just outside of Chicago, but family, weather, and lifestyle eventually drew me to San Diego. It’s here that I’ve found the perfect balance of community and opportunity, and I’m grateful every day that I get to call this city home.



If you flipped through my old yearbook, you’d probably see “Most Likely to Venture Out and Succeed in Whatever He Puts His Mind To” under my picture, and that’s a mindset I’ve carried into my career in real estate. I’m resourceful, dependable, and engaging, which allows me to build strong connections with my clients and guide them through one of the biggest decisions of their lives.



My passion for remodeling, investing, and flipping homes is what inspired me to step into real estate. I love helping people not only find a house but see its true potential and create a home they’ll love. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I see every transaction as a chance to make your life easier and your future brighter.



My advice to clients is simple: embrace the excitement of the hunt and be a visionary. The perfect home isn’t always found, sometimes it’s created.



Encinitas is one of my favorite neighborhoods because of its beachside culture and relaxed lifestyle. But if you’re new to San Diego, I always recommend spending time in Del Mar for its energy, events, and endless things to do. And for those who love hidden gems, the lagoons and trails in North County are often overlooked, but they’re some of the best places to explore and unwind.



Outside of real estate, I’m a surfer today and a breakdancer in my past life, which shows I’ve always been drawn to energy and movement. If I had a theme song, it would be “Drop” by Forrest Frank, because it embodies my approach: stay motivated, keep moving forward, and enjoy the journey.



At the end of the day, I’m here to make the buying or selling process seamless and to help you find not just a house, but a place you’ll truly love to call home.

Josh Lugo - REALTOR®

Hi, I’m Josh Lugo, a born-and-raised San Diegan and proud real estate agent serving the community I’ve always called home. Growing up, I moved around a lot—renting place after place with my family. Those experiences sparked my passion for real estate and planted the seed for what would become a lifelong commitment to helping others find stability, opportunity, and growth through property ownership.

.

If you flipped through my high school yearbook, you'd probably find “Most Likely to Enjoy the Process” next to my name—and I still live by that today. Whether you're buying your first home, selling your current one, or making smart investment moves, I believe in embracing every step of the journey with patience, positivity, and purpose.

I wear a few different hats in life: real estate agent, mentor, and legacy builder. I got into this business not just out of personal interest, but to create wealth and security for future generations—something I hope to help my clients achieve as well.

For buyers, my favorite part of the process is seeing the excitement and sense of accomplishment when they get the keys to a new home. For sellers, it’s helping them maximize their return while making the transition as smooth as possible. No matter what side you're on, my advice remains the same: The best time to buy was yesterday. Ten years from now, you’ll be glad you did.

My heart belongs to the Otay and Eastlake area—I grew up there playing baseball and basketball, and it still feels like home. Downtown San Diego also holds a special place in my memories. I went to school nearby, and I still love the museums, symphony, and vibrant nightlife. It’s the kind of place that makes you fall in love with San Diego all over again.

If you’re new to the city, I’d tell you to explore Balboa Park, catch a Padres game, hit the beach (you can’t go wrong with La Jolla Cove or Sunset Cliffs), and don’t miss Coronado. As for hidden gems? I’ll save those for our next conversation—every local has a few secrets worth sharing.

Fun fact before we wrap up: my twin brother and I made the news the day we were born. It’s a story for another time, but let’s just say the spotlight has been part of my life since day one.

If you’re ready to take the next step—buying, selling, or investing—I’d be honored to be part of your journey. Let’s make moves that matter.

Born and raised minutes from New York City in a predominantly blue-collar family,  there was a minimal emphasis on higher education and little to no experience in growing wealth through real estate. I decided to go against the grain in my life and business.

After enduring the winters of upstate New York, I graduated from SUNY Binghamton and then was presented with an opportunity to manage the Poway youth lacrosse program in sunny San Diego. Needing a change of scenery, I jumped at the opportunity! That move ultimately lead to a career working in the digital side of this industry where I consulted top real estate professionals throughout the US, and abroad, on how to grow their businesses online. After years of specializing in website development, I was responsible for building an SEO (search engine optimization) brand to help improve online ranking for my clients. Here is where I found a niche for getting people and properties maximum exposure on all digital platforms. This success allowed me to purchase my first property while in my 20’s and where I saw the true potential of investing in real estate. It is also what pushed me towards entrepreneurship. Since then I have worked in many areas of the industry including residential real estate, distressed home purchases, building/managing short-term rentals, home flipping, out-of-state investing, luxury residential marketing, and sharing house-hacking strategies with others.

I am a husband and father of two beautiful children as well as a co-parent to our furry baby, Winnie. I am a huge advocate for supporting local businesses in my community, donating to charity as well as organizing regular food and clothing drives. Like many transplants living in San Diego, I continually strive towards building and maintaining a community to call home.

Hi, I am Letisha Manuel, a San Diego based real estate agent passionate about helping people buy, sell, and invest in one of the most vibrant cities in the country.

Originally from San Francisco, I fell in love with San Diego’s weather, community, and beach lifestyle, and I have called it home ever since.

If I could offer one piece of advice to buyers or sellers, it would be this: trust the process, but more importantly, trust your instincts.

The real estate journey can be emotional and complex, but with the right guidance, it can also be incredibly rewarding.

Ocean Beach and Mission Hills are two of my favorite neighborhoods, where laid back energy meets timeless charm.

And if you are new to town, I have plenty of local tips (and a secret taco spot or two) to share.

Let us connect and make your next move in San Diego feel like home.


Latese Smith - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 02215732

I’m Latese Smith, a San Diego real estate agent dedicated to helping buyers, sellers, and investors turn their goals into reality. I grew up in Chicago and joined the Navy in 2003, which eventually brought me to beautiful San Diego—a place I now proudly call home.


Real estate is my second career, but it’s one I was destined for. With an entrepreneurial spirit and a drive to push beyond any self-limiting beliefs, I saw real estate as the perfect opportunity to combine my work ethic, love for people, and passion for building wealth through property.


My favorite part of working with buyers is showing them that homeownership is possible—no matter how big the dream may seem at first. I’ll be honest: it might take some work, but nothing beats the moment they get their keys and I see those big smiles. For sellers and investors, my goal is to guide you strategically and confidently through every step so you can make the most of your investment.


I’m a big believer in this: Closed mouths don’t get fed. Ask questions, be curious, and advocate for yourself—you’ll be amazed at what’s possible.


When I’m not helping clients, I’m enjoying some of my favorite San Diego neighborhoods like Kensington and La Mesa, where you can slow down, enjoy walkable streets, and find incredible restaurants. For first-time visitors, I always recommend La Jolla Cove—it’s the perfect blend of natural beauty, diverse culture, and that iconic San Diego vibe.


Outside of real estate, I’m a proud mom of two, a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and blessed with a rare photographic memory. If I had a theme song, it would be That Girl by Beyoncé—a perfect reflection of my drive, energy, and commitment to success.


Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I’m here to guide you with honesty, energy, and a relentless commitment to your success.

Max Hammerstrom - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 02282963

I’m Max Hammerstrom, a San Diego native born and raised in North Park—the neighborhood that shaped who I am today. I love this city because it offers so many different vibes and experiences, so there’s always something new to explore.




Real estate has always been a natural fit for me. Growing up, my dad was an architect and my uncle owned a contracting company, so I was constantly surrounded by conversations about homes, design, and building. That early exposure sparked my interest, and now I’m combining my passion for people with my curiosity about the real estate world—not only to serve my clients, but also to gain the knowledge I’ll need as a future investor.




My favorite part of working with buyers and sellers is hearing their stories and being part of such a pivotal chapter in their lives. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone turn their vision into reality. My advice? Be a sponge—learn everything you can throughout the process so you make informed, confident decisions.


.


North Park will always have my heart—it’s where I learned to ride my bike, explored with friends, and grew into the adventurous, motivated, and creative person I am today.



For anyone new to San Diego, I always recommend catching the sunset at Sunset Cliffs, exploring Ocean Beach, or taking in the views from Mt. Soledad in La Jolla. And if you want to discover something truly unique, check out the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge.



Outside of real estate, I’m a mix of tech enthusiast, creative thinker, and performer—I can juggle, balance a chair on my chin, and love learning new random skills just for fun. My theme song is Moments/Tides by Goth Babe—an anthem for staying adventurous and present in the moment.



Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I’m here to guide you through the process with knowledge, energy, and a focus on making your real estate journey one to remember.

MaLinda Bloch - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 02246631

I’m a third-generation San Diego native with roots that stretch from the South Bay to East County. I grew up here, went to Santana High, and over the years I’ve lived in nearly every corner of this beautiful city. Today, I call Fletcher Hills home; a community-driven suburb I absolutely love for its charm, rolling hills, and small-town feel all within reach of everything San Diego has to offer.

If you flipped through my high school year book, you’d probably find me listed under “Most Likely to Help”. I thrive on connection with all walks of life, and that’s one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with real estate. Helping people buy, sell, and invest in San Diego isn’t just about transactions to me. It’s about empowering others to see what’s possible and helping them reach their goals with confidence and excitement.

As a mama, mental health and wellness advocate, and nature lover, I bring empathy, patience, and balance into everything I do. I know buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, but my mission is to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. This should be an exciting chapter in your life, and I’m here to make sure it feels that way.

My best advice for anyone considering a move is this: make sure you hire the right agent. Research their team, their approach, and most importantly, their personality. Real estate is as much about trust as it is about expertise. Who represents you truly matters.

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me exploring San Diego’s hidden gems like the Secret Stairs on Mt. Nebo in La Mesa, hiking in Mt. Laguna, taking in the ocean breeze at Blacks Beach, or exploring my city with my husband and two kiddos.

A fun fact about me: I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. Before real estate, I owned a coffee shop in Pacific Beach, ran a wedding coordination business, and even worked in family law. I’ve also hosted several women’s retreats designed to inspire self-care, connection, and confidence.

If I had a theme song, it would be “Unstoppable” by Sia, because that’s how I approach both life and real estate—with resilience, optimism, and heart.

San Diego Realtor® | Passionate | Social | Go-Getter




I grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, surrounded by the energy and culture of Seattle. About 15 years ago, I moved to sunny San Diego after meeting my husband—and instantly fell in love with the lifestyle, community, and opportunities this city has to offer.



Real estate became the perfect way for me to challenge myself, grow personally and professionally, and give back to the community I care deeply about. As both a businesswoman and a people person, I love the balance of strategy and human connection that real estate offers. Helping clients achieve their goals while reaching mine truly feels like a win-win.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling to upsize or downsize, or investing in San Diego’s thriving market, I’m here to guide you through every step with knowledge, empathy, and enthusiasm. My goal is to help you make informed, confident decisions that build your long-term future.

Some of my favorite neighborhoods—like Poway, Scripps Ranch, South Park, Kensington, Mission Hills, and Del Mar—offer such unique character and community. And if you’re new to town, I’ll always recommend a day exploring Little Italy, Mission Hills, La Jolla, and the Highway 1 stretch along the coast.



When I’m not helping clients, you’ll probably find me baking something sweet or dancing just for fun. Real estate might be my career, but building relationships and sharing joy is what drives me every day.

Ola Levinson - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 02232421

I was born and raised in a small village in Poland, where I grew up watching American TV shows and movies—never imagining that California would one day become my home. My journey took me from Minnesota to Wisconsin to Pennsylvania, and ultimately to beautiful San Diego, where I’m now living my dream helping others build a life they love here too.


Before transitioning into real estate, I spent 13 years as a pharmacy manager. That career taught me the importance of listening, empathy, and precision—skills that now allow me to guide clients through one of life’s biggest decisions with care and confidence. Helping people has always been at the heart of what I do, and real estate gives me the freedom to do it in a more personal, impactful way.

Whether I’m handing keys to a first-time buyer or helping a seller transition into their next chapter, my goal is always the same: to take the stress off your shoulders and make the process smooth, informed, and empowering. I love working with buyers, especially those purchasing their first home, and being the guide that turns what could be an overwhelming experience into one of celebration and pride.

If you’re new to San Diego, I’ll probably point you straight to North Park. It’s one of my favorite neighborhoods—vibrant, creative, and full of life. Every corner tells a story, from the local coffee shops to the colorful murals that define the community. And if you ever want to see something truly special, stay for sunset at Cabrillo National Monument. Watching the sun dip over Point Loma and the bay is pure magic.

I’m a helper at heart, endlessly caring, and someone who loves inspiring others to chase the life they’ve always imagined. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me doing arts and crafts with my daughter, enjoying a cup of local coffee, or listening to my favorite song, Time of Our Lives by Tyrone Wells.

If you’re ready to make your next move, I’d love to be the one to guide you through it—because everyone deserves to feel at home in San Diego.

Born and raised in Orange County, the Navy brought me to San Diego, where I quickly fell in love with the people, the lifestyle, and the sense of community that make this city so special. After serving my country, I knew I wanted to continue serving others — this time by helping families and investors achieve their real estate goals.


As a proud dad, U.S. Navy veteran, and dedicated neighbor, I bring the same values of service, integrity, and care to every client relationship. My background in construction management gives me a unique eye for quality and potential, allowing me to help clients see beyond the surface and make smart, confident decisions.




I got into real estate because I love helping people navigate one of the biggest investments of their lives. Whether it’s guiding a first-time buyer through the excitement of getting their keys, helping a seller move on to their next chapter, or assisting an investor in identifying the right property for long-term growth, I’m passionate about making each experience seamless and rewarding.


My favorite part of this business is seeing my clients’ excitement when their dreams become reality. Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, but with the right agent by your side, it doesn’t have to be. My advice: work with someone you trust — someone who listens, communicates clearly, and has your best interest at heart every step of the way.


When I’m not helping clients, you’ll probably find me exploring San Diego’s best spots with my family. I love spending time in North Park for its mix of historic charm and modern energy, or catching a game at Petco Park followed by some tacos at Tacos El Gordo. And if you’re looking for a hidden gem, check out the tide pools at Cabrillo National Monument — it’s one of the most peaceful and unique places in the city.


If my life had a theme song, it would be Fast Car by Tracy Chapman — a reminder of drive, resilience, and the importance of chasing new opportunities.

My Story

In 1987 my parents brought our family to America from Vietnam. My mom, an orphan, moved to New York with her new foster parents and my father who moved to New York with his Brother, both of them with just the clothes on their backs. Starting over with nothing, they worked hard, speaking only Vietnamese, working any jobs they could find and after years they created a life that was the "American Dream" including a home, a business, a restaurant and a family.

In 2008, like many other families, we lost it all due to a lack of good information and misunderstandings. We lost our home, our restaurant, everything. But that didn't stop my family. My parents had to work to rebuild what was lost, working 7 days a week for years on end. They did everything they could, working 8-10 hour shifts at restaurants and shops, they worked to make sure we had everything we needed. Through this experience, I was taught the value of hard work and perseverance and integrity. After what happened to my parents and to so many others I decided to get into real estate and be a resource for others like just my parents. I decided that I could be a resource for others, to help guide and advise homeowners and homebuyers just like my parents… to hopefully one day make a difference.

I have now worked in real estate for the last 7 years since I was 19 years old. Over the last 3 years we've bought and sold over 70+ homes here in San Diego. After years of learning and growing, working with other companies, I’ve learned and found the best tools and resources to help you build wealth through real estate.

To us, we like to build a relationship with the people we work with to be like family and to build long and lasting relationships. My job is to be a resource for you. It won't be a company where you have 10-20 different folks that you've never met before reaching out to you. We're a transparent and honest family where we keep you at the forefront and keep your best interest in mind.

Here you’ll get the service that you deserve!

Stephanie Sundell - REALTOR®
Licensing: CA DRE# 02138246

Realtor® | Real Estate Investor | Tiny House Advocate | Professional Photographer
Hi, I’m Stephanie Sundell—a dedicated real estate professional, seasoned investor, and creative entrepreneur with a passion for capturing stories and building community.


I live in beautiful Vista, California, with my amazing daughter Ava, who just graduated from El Camino High School (Class of 2025) and is preparing for her next adventure as a flight attendant with the airlines.
With over 5 years in real estate and more than $24 million in sales, I’ve helped clients navigate everything from first homes to investment opportunities. I’m currently affiliated with Whissel Beer Group (2023–present), following previous tenures with eXp Realty and ehomes. I’m also a proud member of several professional associations, including SDAR, NAR, NCSDR, SDCIA, WREIN, and the Tiny Home Industry Association (THIA).



As a real estate investor since 2003, I’ve developed a keen eye for value and potential. I specialize in unique housing models and am a recognized tiny house expert and advocate. I’m currently leading the development of a tiny house community near Yosemite National Park, combining affordability, sustainability, and heart into every square foot.


I hold an Associate Degree from MiraCosta College and completed my California Real Estate Exam in June 2021, with ongoing continuing education through 2025. I’m also proud to be part of the WREIN mentorship network, where I continue to grow and support other women in real estate.


Alongside my real estate career, I’ve worked as a professional photographer for over 31 years, serving as the official photographer for the United States Marine Corps’ birthday ball events—a role that honors both my craft and my respect for military tradition.



I also own and manage two Airbnb properties—a short-term rental in Groveland, CA, just outside Yosemite, and a mid-term rental in Ramona, CA, tailored for traveling nurses. Hosting has become another meaningful way for me to share the warmth of home with people from all walks of life.
When I’m not closing deals, developing properties, or behind the camera, you’ll likely find me traveling the world—often with my faithful dog, Luna Lou, by my side. Whether I’m photographing a Marine ceremony or planning my next Airbnb stay, I believe life is meant to be lived with intention, creativity, and connection.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Zierenberg, a San Diego-based real estate agent with a passion for helping people find the home that makes them feel at home. I was born in Los Angeles and moved to San Diego 18 years ago for a relationship—and like so many who visit, I never left. The lifestyle, the community, and the character of each neighborhood completely won me over.

In high school, I was voted “Most Likely To Do My Own Thing,” and that’s still true today. I’ve always followed my own path, which is what led me to a career in real estate. Health challenges pushed me to seek a career that gave me flexibility, freedom, and purpose—and real estate checked every box. Now, I get to wake up every day and help people make confident decisions about one of the biggest investments of their lives.

Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, my goal is to make the process clear, comfortable, and maybe even a little fun. My clients know me as a trusted knowledge base, a compassionate advocate, and someone who will always keep it real. My favorite part of the job? Watching people light up when they find the right place or the right buyer—it never gets old.

If you're just starting to think about buying or selling, my advice is simple: it never hurts to ask questions. Let’s talk about your goals, your timeline, and your options.

My favorite corner of San Diego is University Heights. It’s walkable, close to the buzz of Hillcrest and North Park, but still has a quieter, more relaxed vibe. And if you’re looking for a true hidden gem in the city, don’t miss City Farmers Nursery—a tiny urban farm with a cozy restaurant and live music, right in the heart of town.

A few fun facts before we connect: my theme song is “Yeah Yeah Yeah” by The Flaming Lips, I love connecting with new people, and I happen to be a skilled tarot reader—because sometimes life and real estate both need a little intuition.

Let’s find the place that makes you happiest.

Broker Associate

Looking after all of your residential real estate matters through proper consultation; that's the approach my team and I invest in. Having moved from Canada in 2008, I left a successful real estate practice to start fresh in America's Finest City and have loved every moment of it.

My beautiful wife and three incredible children later, I am proud to say that I have established myself as a top Broker in the Nation through relentless training and a desire to provide unsurpassed service and results.

I have embedded myself with top industry professionals: from mortgage lenders, Wealth Managers, Trust and Estate attorneys, Litigators, Fiduciaries, CPA's, Familiy Law Attorneys, Partition Actions, Immigration Attorneys, Elder Care Attorneys, a variety of mentors and real estate coaches, so that I am in a constant state of learning and serving. I have been fortunate enough to have helped over 1000 individuals, families and investors achieve their real estate goals.

From the moment we meet, to putting the right plan together, it's my team's goal to make your experience an incredible journey. The foundation of our model is referral and that can't happen unless we earn it through your satisfaction. There is a statistic that states 70% of all consumers work with the first real estate agent they meet, which demonstrates why a top team is needed in your corner, as we can easily settle on someone without understanding who we've chosen to represent such an important transaction. Please be mindful of reviews, experience and track record, as taking a moment to vet the right professional can save you time, money and energy. You're not simply buying or selling a home, your choosing a partner to take care of you and your real estate goals.

I truly look forward to the opportunity to serve. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I can be reached directly at 760 300 9166.

Best,


Steven

Todd Levinson | Broker Associate | Realtor® | Whissel Realty Group

I’ve called a few places home over the years—Minnesota, the Virgin Islands, and Philadelphia—but when my family and I first visited San Diego, we instantly fell in love. The weather, the lifestyle, and the people made it an easy decision to pack our bags and head west.If you looked me up in my yearbook, you’d probably find “Most Likely to Be on an Adventure” next to my name—and that’s still true today. Whether I’m traveling, exploring San Diego’s coastline, or occasionally hopping into a small plane to take in the view from above, I’ve always believed life’s best moments happen when you’re chasing new experiences.Real estate has been my lifelong adventure.

I began my career more than 20 years ago and never looked back. What drew me in was the freedom to be my own boss and the unlimited potential for personal and professional growth. Over the years—and on both coasts—I’ve helped countless buyers, sellers, and investors achieve their real estate goals while building genuine relationships along the way.For my buyers, I love being part of the journey—learning their story, understanding their vision, and celebrating that moment when the keys finally change hands. For my sellers, I take pride in helping them transition smoothly into their next chapter, using strategy, marketing, and care to make the process as seamless as possible.My advice to anyone entering the real estate world—whether buying, selling, or investing—is simple: enjoy the process, laugh often, and let’s have fun while we’re at it.


When I’m not helping clients, you’ll usually find me soaking up the laid-back vibes of Encinitas. It’s one of my favorite communities, with its beaches, local shops, surf breaks, and great restaurants. For newcomers to San Diego, I always recommend exploring Encinitas, taking a jet ski out on San Diego Bay, hiking at Torrey Pines, kayaking through the La Jolla sea caves, catching a sunset at Swami’s Beach, or grabbing tacos along Coast Highway 101. Don’t miss a golden-hour walk down to Beacon’s Beach in Leucadia—a local favorite for its low-key surf scene—a day trip to Coronado, or the hidden gem of Bird Rock’s waterfront.A few fun facts about me: I’m a dedicated husband and father, an airplane enthusiast, and a capable sailor and diver. My theme song? “Beautiful Day” by U2—it’s a reminder to find gratitude in the journey and beauty in every moment

Thanks!
