San Diego Realtor Shirin Kheshti sits on a golden sofa

MEET SHIRIN

Most of my work happens before anyone walks through a house. In San Diego real estate, the hard part is rarely finding the property. It is deciding whether the price makes sense, whether a repair is worth making and whether this is the right year to move at all. That is what my clients actually call me for.

 

I have been licensed in California since 2008 and became a Broker Associate in 2014. I earned my degree in Business Administration with a minor in Real Estate from the University of San Diego. Over the years, I have guided buyers and sellers through the 2008 correction, the long recovery, the pandemic run-up and the rate shock that followed. I have also lived in Point Loma since 2013. When I tell you I know the San Diego market, I mean I have lived and worked in it, not simply read about it.

 

I am a certified Military Relocation Professional (MRP) and a military spouse. PCS timelines, VA loan entitlement and buying remotely from another duty station are familiar ground, not something I had to learn from a handbook.

 

You will get straightforward information from me without pressure, including when the numbers say you should wait. I would rather give you a difficult answer early than have you discover it on a Closing Disclosure three days before signing. The clients I am proudest of are the ones who call me years later about something that has nothing to do with a sale.

MILITARY RELOCATION & VA LOANS

I'm a military spouse and a Military Relocation Professional (MRP). I've made the move myself, and I know how quickly a PCS can turn "maybe San Diego" into "we need to figure this out now."

 

For most military families moving to San Diego, the house is not actually the first decision. It's figuring out where to live, whether buying makes sense for this set of orders, how the commute to base will affect everyday life, and what you can afford using your VA loan benefit.

 

I work with military buyers and sellers throughout San Diego, from families arriving on PCS orders to those preparing for their next duty station. I'll give you the numbers, explain the tradeoffs between neighborhoods, and tell you when buying makes sense and when it may not.

 

You don't need to have orders in hand to start the conversation. Earlier is usually better.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

We have worked with Shirin to both buy and sell properties throughout Southern California, and most recently, she helped us purchase our dream home in San Diego in 2022. We honestly could not have navigated the process without her. What makes Shirin such an exceptional San Diego Realtor is that she truly listens. She takes the time to understand what we want rather than simply listening to respond, and that means so much to someone like me who has very specific priorities when it comes to a home. She understands that finding the right property is about more than checking boxes. There were plenty of times when I stepped foot onto a property and immediately knew it was not for me, but Shirin never once made me feel like we were wasting time. To her, every showing was valuable information that helped us get closer to finding the right home. Her patience, attentiveness, and knowledge of the Southern California real estate market made the entire experience feel manageable. When we were searching for our home in 2022, we weren't always able to travel back and forth easily. Shirin went above and beyond by previewing homes on our behalf, sending detailed videos, sharing thoughtful feedback, and helping us evaluate properties from afar. She actually found the home we ultimately purchased, and the moment she walked through it, she knew it was the right fit for us. We trusted her instincts completely and put in an offer sight unseen. Throughout the home-buying process, we opened escrow on several properties. Shirin's thorough due diligence, honest guidance, strong negotiation skills, and commitment to our best interests helped us recognize when a property wasn't right and confidently walk away. We never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision simply to close a deal. What stood out most was how genuinely invested Shirin was in helping us find the right home, not just any home. She is knowledgeable, responsive, incredibly patient, and truly client-focused. Her care and expertise set her apart from other real estate agents we've worked with. We are incredibly grateful for everything Shirin did for us and would absolutely work with her again. We highly recommend Shirin to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in San Diego or anywhere in Southern California. She is the kind of realtor you want in your corner.
