We had a really wonderful experience with Shirley! She helped us with acquiring our first home as newlyweds at a much quicker rate than we were anticipating. I was not looking forward to the house-searching process and came into it with a very reserved and cautious attitude, but Shirley made me feel comfortable and open about it because she is just such a positive strong force of nature. She never pushed us in a direction we had hesitations about and she was available night and day to answer our several questions and concerns. She was there every step of the way and patiently assisted us with understanding every aspect of the home buying and escrow process. Something really key about her that stands out from other realtors is that she will fight for you. I feel like she worked really hard to get us a good deal and this sets her apart from other realtors we met who either who didn’t seem like they were trying that hard for us or were just trying to get commission asap. I think Shirley genuine loves helping people find a home and that passion speaks volumes in her work ethic and relentless pursuit of finding the perfect house for you. She makes a point to let us give our thoughts first before she gives us her own honest opinions with years of experience. I found her to be really honest and trustworthy, which is something hard to find these days in every field. In addition to that, even though we bought our house months ago, she still regularly checks in to make sure we are ok and there aren’t issues. She treats you like family and we are so lucky to have found her! When our family grows and we need a larger house, we will look to no one other than Shirley to help us. Thank you Shirley for everything!

Shirley and Abby were awesome. They very professional and got the job done. They listed our condo and we got an offer on the first day for above market. Due to Abby and Shirley the process from the offer to close was very efficient so much we were actually traveling the day it closed. Cannot thank Abby and Shirley enough for the job they did. We appreciate everything they did and it was enjoyable working with them.

Shirley helped me purchase my first home as a single woman. This was daunting and she was a great support and advocate during the process. She was very good at explaining my options in the negotiation and walking me through the myriad of requirements, disclosures and forms I had to sign. I highly recommend Shirley for your next real estate transaction.

"Hiring Shirley Smith as my Real Estate Professional for my recent home sale produced amazing results! It’s really true that she sold it faster and for more money than I imagined was possible, without any stress to me. If you want similar results, I suggest you hire Shirley to sell your home!"

"We were looking for an investment property in beautiful Coronado but had some pretty specific criteria. Shirley was on the ball when it came to finding the properties that were a good match, and went above and beyond in referring excellent third party specialists. She was able to use her many local connections to find us a great contractor to review the property we were looking at and give us the vital information we needed to make a decision. She also spent many hours helping us find the best deals on mortgage rates with local banks, and her finance connections. She Was also just fun to work with and is a cheerful and helpful person. All this made the stress of making a large financial decision a lot easier as we really felt she was on our side and helping us do what was best for our situation. I highly recommend using Shirley Smith for any real estate needs in the Coronado area."

"Shirley Smith is one of those professionals that you want on your team. A smart, strong and insightful leader, Shirley gives her all for her clients. She has integrity and heart. Her outstanding communication skills enable her to connect and understand her client’s needs and goals. Her advice and guidance over the past 20 years has been instrumental in the growth of my law firm."

"I had an excellent experience working with Shirley Smith of Coldwell Banker West to purchase a residence in Imperial Beach. From the very beginning of the process, her excellent suggestions regarding mortgage financing, home inspection, and repair contractors contributed greatly to a smooth, hassle-free undertaking. Her advice and analysis throughout contract negotiations were outstanding. I was especially impressed with Shirley’s experience and familiarity with the San Diego beach real estate market, where she has lived and invested in Coronado and Imperial Beach. She has terrific insights into all details, large and small, of a major real estate investment in these communities."

"My husband and I worked with Shirley to purchase a home in Imperial Beach and really can't say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Shirley made it as painless and straight forward as possible. We highly recommend her." J.C. & Tong Buyers "Shirley did a fantastic job helping us with our first home purchase! She was very responsive and always available to answer any questions and provide much needed guidance. We bought a new construction home from a big builder and Shirley seemed to know exactly how to deal with the seller, negotiate and get what we wanted. From finding comparables, through negotiations of price and upgrades, scheduling closing, dealing with escrow and up to closing, her responses and initiatives were always prompt, thorough and accurate. Her energetic demeanor really inspired confidence, both in our purchase and that we chose the right agent. I hope we're in our new home for a long time, but if we were to move, I couldn't hesitate to work with Shirley again or give her anything but the highest recommendation." Megan L. Buyer “Shirley is such a fabulous realtor! I am beyond blessed that I had her by my side investing in my first home. I have always wanted to live by the beach and Shirley helped make my dreams come true. She made the home buying process extremely easy by always looking out for my best interests. She always answered my calls and texts when I had questions. Shirley is extremely approachable, intelligent, enthusiastic, and so very kind. I highly recommend giving Shirley a call if you are buying a new home or selling.”
