A Buyer’s Agent for Those
Who Love San Diego as Much as We Do
When you partner with The Selby Team, you get more than just real estate listings; you get access to a deep level of expertise in the local area. San Diego is where our roots are. To us, it’s more than a market, it’s the place we call home.
We help you evaluate the 100+ neighborhoods in ‘America’s Finest City,’ dive deep into what the market reports are showing, and discover hidden gems. We’re so hyper-local, we even know some neighborhoods block by block.
You won’t get that level of local expertise and insight from the online real estate marketplace. And in a competitive market like San Diego, that edge can mean all the difference.

What It’s Like to Work With The Selby Team
Buying a home should be an exciting experience, not a stressful one. We provide you with clear communication and hands-on, personalized guidance and support throughout the entire process. Many buyers we have partnered with have told us they felt like they were working with a friend who truly cares about them and their house-hunting goals. That’s exactly what we aim for, and here’s what that looks like in action:
Step 1 - Talk to Us
We begin with a strategy session to understand your goals, budget, timeline, and key requirements. We’ll listen closely and offer honest insights based on current market conditions. And if you need a lender, we connect you with a trusted one so you can get pre-qualified and then pre-approved. Every buyer receives a customized approach tailored to their specific needs, timeline, and goals.
If you’re a first-time homebuyer searching for a place in San Diego, we’ll break down every step and ensure that no question goes unanswered.
For out-of-town buyers looking to relocate to San Diego, we offer detailed virtual tours and share local insights to help you pinpoint the area that best fits your values and lifestyle.
Step 2 - Start Shopping
We curate listings to match your needs and can often show you homes before they are listed on the market. We help you zero in on neighborhoods that align with your lifestyle and schedule in-person tours for local buyers or virtual tours for those out of town.
Step 3 - Make An Offer
We work closely with you to craft a smart, competitive offer with strong terms. And we also work proactively with the listing agent and handle competitive negotiations on your behalf.
You receive all the support you need to reach an agreement with a seller. We help you put your best foot forward, negotiate terms and possible counter-offers, and reach an agreed-upon sale contract.
Step 4 - Close the Deal
Once an offer is accepted, the real work begins. We manage inspections, appraisals, timelines, and paperwork with care and due diligence.
Our team will coordinate closely with lenders, escrow, and all parties involved to minimize delays and ensure that nothing is overlooked during the closing process. We help you finalize the funding, review and sign documents, record the title, and get the keys to your new home.
Step 5 - Stay Connected
We aim to be your lifelong real estate advisor long after the transaction has closed. You’ll be invited to our exclusive events for clients, and we'll stay in touch to share local referrals that may be of interest to you, as well as tips on homeownership. You can also request a local market analysis at any time.
