MEET SHIRLEY SMITH & ASSOCIATES
About Shirley Smith
I love everything about Real Estate! As a native Californian, I purchased my first property when I was 19 years old. Having a knack for remodeling, I continued to purchase and project manage several renovations in the USA and Australia, where I lived for many years. Not only professionally, but personally I understand firsthand everything it takes to relocate to a new city, state or even country!
My former career as a psychotherapist, executive coach and best-selling author of five books, provided me with solid negotiation skills, as well as the ability to really listen. I know how to ask the right questions to draw out what people truly need and desire in a home or investment property and accentuate the key features to focus on in selling a property for maximum profit.
Living in Coronado, the two markets I specialize and work in are Global Luxury and Military Relocation. I have certifications in both and have achieved the Sterling Award for the past two years being in the top 5% of sales Internationally. I have personally built and purchased luxury homes, as well as helped many clients do the same. Working with a high percentage of military clients is especially rewarding because I appreciate the values of integrity, trust and service.
About Abby Villa
I bring a unique blend of discipline, dedication, and a commitment to service to the world of real estate. My journey began when I enlisted in the United States Navy straight out of high school, embarking on an adventure that would shape my character and instill in me a profound sense of responsibility. After completing my active-duty contract, I transitioned seamlessly into the role of an active Navy reservist, where I continue to serve my country with pride.
My military experience gave me a deep understanding of the challenges that our military community faces and in 2022, I realized that real estate is a field where I could leverage my military background to assist fellow service members in realizing their homeownership dreams. That realization, combined with my love of the San Diego area, drove my decision to make real estate sales my career – and at this point my passion. My mission is to empower fellow service members with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their real estate goals.
If you're a current or former member of the military or know anyone who is looking to embark on a seamless real estate journey, I am here for you. Let's turn your homeownership aspirations into reality. Contact me today, and let's start this exciting chapter together. I am not just a Realtor; I am your ally, your advocate, and your guide in the world of San Diego real estate.

I would be honored to be the one to facilitate your real estate journey. I believe that buying and selling real estate is a unique part of your life. No two buyers are the same and no two sellers are the same. I can help you navigate the real estate market in San Diego and even globally regardless of what your current situation is. Being a Realtor with the Coldwell Banker network, I work with top realtors and first-class marketing throughout the USA and overseas! As a previous psychotherapist, I understand what drives people’s choices and their decision-making process. I use my skills to better understand my buyers and sellers, helping them get the results they want.
Looking to invest or purchase? Let me help you find your next ideal home or investment property.
Thinking about selling? I would love to help you sell your home for maximum profit. The right “price” is not the only important factor in selling your property. “Presentation” is equally vital. Let me show you the marketing and presentation skills I’ve used to “wow” buyers and maximize your results.
My aim is to bring you resources to:
- Preserve your wealth
- Minimize your tax
- Optimize your real estate “buy–sell–hold” timing
I’d love to hear from you and am happy to answer any real estate questions you may have.
