Get To Know Me

Sophia Russo is a San Diego coastal real estate advisor recognized for her polished professionalism, thoughtful communication, and the genuinely elevated experience she brings to every client. Specializing in La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and San Diego’s most sought-after coastal neighborhoods, Sophia blends deep market knowledge with an intuitive understanding of lifestyle, design, and long-term value. Clients choose her for her honesty, her calm confidence, and her ability to make them feel supported from the very first conversation.

Originally from Buffalo, Sophia moved to San Diego to create a life filled with sunshine, possibility, and the freedom to build a career she was truly passionate about. Real estate became more than a profession—it became her way of helping people step into the lives they’ve imagined for themselves. She understands firsthand what it feels like to make a big move, take a leap, and invest in your future, and she brings that same empathy and clarity to her work with every client.

Her goal is simple: to make the process feel seamless, informed, and genuinely cared for. She wants her clients to feel that they have a trusted advisor in their corner—someone who listens closely, communicates clearly, and always puts their best interests first.

Sophia is a proud member of The Greg Cummings Group, Compass San Diego’s #8 Top-Producing Team, consistently closing over $100 million in annual sales. The team has earned the Platinum Level of Excellence Award, the highest recognition awarded by the San Diego Association of REALTORS® and the Union-Tribune, and has been named one of San Diego Magazine’s Best Real Estate Teams. This powerhouse backing allows Sophia to deliver a concierge-level experience with world-class marketing, data, and strategy.

Known for her refined eye for design and her background in renovation and short-term rental strategy, Sophia helps clients see not just what a home is, but what it can be. Her clients often describe her as steady, sincere, and incredibly prepared—someone who brings a sense of ease and confidence to every step of the journey.

For Sophia, real estate isn’t just about closing deals; it’s about relationships, vision, and helping people create the life they want in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Testimonials

Sophia Russo was our agent for our home purchase in San Diego, CA. Being from out of town, we knew we needed an agent who was knowledgeable and thorough.
