Chris Arns Real Estate Properties in Encinitas operates from the Compass office at 682 South Coast Highway 101 in Old Encinitas under DRE #02076912, specializing in coastal San Diego and Napa Valley residential transactions. The office coordinates buyer financing through mortgage originators including Dave Pennington at CrossCountry Mortgage to lock rates and issue pre-approval letters before competitive offer submission. Arns holds a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation and a University of Portland degree in Business Administration, bringing investor, builder, and principal-level transaction experience to listings and acquisitions along Coast Highway 101. Pre-listing preparation includes staging consultation with designers at KC Interior Design to maximize presentation value for properties in the Moonlight Beach and Leucadia corridors. Compass Concierge fronts the cost of home improvements—flooring, painting, landscaping, and staging—against the eventual sale proceeds, eliminating upfront seller expenditure on cosmetic upgrades.
