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
