Luxe Coastal Team helps professional athletes buy and sell luxury homes across North County San Diego, including Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Rancho Santa Fe. Elizabeth Papalia is certified in the eXp Sports & Entertainment division, which prepares the team for the privacy and timing needs of this work.

What does the eXp Sports & Entertainment certification mean for athletes?
It means Luxe Coastal Team is equipped to serve sports professionals alongside its core luxury clients. The focus areas are discretion with sensitive personal and financial information, NDAs for clients who require them, and relocation planning built around high-profile moves.

How does the team plan around seasons, trades, and short timelines?
Luxe Coastal Team plans relocation around the timing, privacy, and logistics of each move, whether the window is a short offseason or a move on short notice. John Finley’s 22 years as a licensed broker and Elizabeth Papalia’s 30 years of local market knowledge support that planning.

How is an athlete’s privacy protected?
Discretion is standard practice, and NDAs are part of the process when a client wants one. The team’s off-market network also allows quiet sales and purchases, which can limit public exposure for clients who prefer it.

Can athletes buying from another state work with the team?
Yes. eXp Luxury’s network reaches buyers across the US and 23 countries, and Luxe Coastal Team provides local market knowledge and manages contractors, so an out-of-town buyer does not have to run the details from a distance.

Can the team help with investment property or buying before selling?
John Finley’s background includes investment properties, flips, and ground-up development, and buy-before-you-sell options are available through lender and investor partnerships.
