Holding CA DRE #01706803 since 2005, Kristina Lee operates through Compass from the Columbia district in downtown San Diego, specializing in investment property acquisitions and 1031 exchanges. Women-owned and rooted in San Diego for over 40 years, the practice advises on ADU additions and small-lot subdivisions, working with design firms like Studio H Design Group on feasibility and permitting for accessory dwelling conversions. Dual experience as both a former licensed loan officer and an active REALTOR informs transaction structuring, allowing clients to receive coordinated guidance on lending terms, debt-to-income ratios, and real-property acquisition strategy within a single consultation. Trust and estate sales require property turnover for probate listing preparation, a process that includes full-property cleaning through providers such as Sparkly Maid San Diego Cleaning Services before staging and MLS entry. Highest-complexity engagements involve structuring 1031 exchange timelines across multiple replacement properties, coordinating the 45-day identification window and 180-day closing deadline under IRS Revenue Code Section 1031.
