Laurie Shaw is a San Diego residential and commercial agent with Balboa Real Estate, Inc., operating from 6161 El Cajon Boulevard in College Area within the 92115 ZIP. Shaw handles buyer representation, listing, and investment-property transactions across College Area, Chula Vista, La Mesa, and the broader San Diego County market, with a practice that includes both single-family purchases and multi-unit investment acquisitions. The El Cajon Boulevard office sits roughly a half-mile west of SDSU, inside the commercial corridor where the College Area residential market transitions from student-rental apartment buildings to owner-occupied homes south of University Avenue. Investor clients who acquire rental properties through Shaw's office transition those assets into managed portfolios, and Property Management Executives in College Area handles the tenant placement, lease administration, and maintenance coordination for investor-owned units in the 92115 and 92120 ZIPs. Shaw's buyer-side work includes first-time purchasers, relocation clients, and repeat buyers scaling up from condominiums to single-family homes as equity and income grow. Balboa Real Estate, Inc. is headquartered in Orange County and maintains memberships with the San Diego Association of REALTORS, the California Association of REALTORS, and the National Association of REALTORS, extending the brokerage's MLS access across Southern California's regional listing databases. Listing photography and architectural visualization for Shaw's College Area properties run through Arki Pics, whose architectural imaging work produces the MLS-grade photography that drives click-through rates on syndicated listing platforms. Shaw's College Area practice benefits from proximity to SDSU's faculty and staff housing demand, where campus employees purchasing in the 92115 ZIP value walkable access to campus while avoiding the student-rental density on Montezuma Road.
