Christine Manly at Compass in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district holds DRE #01938143 and operates from the Compass office at 1953 San Elijo Avenue near San Elijo Lagoon. Sellers preparing high-value listings coordinate equity and capital-gains planning with advisors at Longhouse Wealth Management to structure proceeds around tax-advantaged reinvestment timelines. A former CEO of a manufacturing and distribution company for over fifteen years, Manly transitioned into real estate in 2013 as a Certified Main Street Business Broker before shifting to residential sales. Trust and estate property transactions require probate-court compliance and title-clearance documentation coordinated through Padilla Law Group, LLP to satisfy fiduciary obligations before listing. The practice serves buyers and sellers across Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Leucadia, and the broader North County market, with the San Elijo Avenue office positioned along the corridor connecting Cardiff State Beach to San Elijo Lagoon.
