Selling a luxury home in Encinitas takes more than a sign in the yard and an online listing. It takes accurate pricing, the right presentation, and marketing that reaches serious buyers, not just local browsers. Luxe Coastal Team specializes in selling luxury coastal homes in Encinitas and across North County San Diego.

John Finley and Elizabeth Papalia bring a combined 52 years of real estate experience to every Encinitas listing. John is a licensed broker whose background spans residential, land, commercial, investment, and ground-up development real estate, giving the team a wider view of pricing and positioning than most single-lane agents. Every listing runs through a Four-Stage Selling System: a market analysis to price the home strategically, a cost-versus-return review of what to fix or update before listing, professional staging to model-home standard, and marketing through eXp Luxury's reach across the US and in 23 countries, supported by a database of high-net-worth buyers and placements in publications such as Mansion Global, Robb Report, and The Wall Street Journal. The team stays hands-on throughout, personally overseeing renovation and staging work rather than just referring it out. The results back it up: a Grandview listing in Encinitas sold in two days, $175,000 over its $3,500,000 asking price, and an Avenue Ocean listing in nearby Del Mar sold in 16 days at full asking price of $4,300,000.

For homeowners in Encinitas planning to sell, Luxe Coastal Team offers a repeatable, evidence-backed system built specifically for the North County coastal luxury market.
