Katie Pond

Hi, I'm Katie Pond -- your whip-cracking-with-a-smile real estate BFF who always answers the phone, fiercely protects your best interests, and genuinely loves helping people like you make confident real estate moves in North County San Diego. I've been a full-time, top-producing real estate professional since 2003, and real estate isn't just my career -- it's my passion. From new home construction and land deals to multi-family investments and high-stakes negotiations, I've seen (and handled) it all. But what really lights me up? Helping sellers unlock every dollar of value in their homes with our signature VIRAL Sales Method, and guiding buyers to the coastal lifestyle of their dreams in communities like Encinitas, Carlsbad, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Oceanside, Solana Beach, and beyond. As a mom, long-time Encinitas resident, and active community builder, I have a genuine love for connecting people -- whether it's introducing them to a new neighborhood, a trusted local vendor, or the home that perfectly fits their next chapter. We live, raise our family, participate in local schools and sports, and run our business right here in the heart of North County. Our Compass office is based in Encinitas, too -- so we're not just North County real estate experts; we're your neighbors. People describe me as down-to-earth and fun to work with, but also obsessed with delivering smooth, stress-free experiences. Whether you're buying your first home, relocating to San Diego, or selling the home you've loved for years, I'll walk you through every step with transparency, strategy, and care.
