Holding DRE license #01950830 with Compass, Jody Schmauss in Encinitas brings a BS in Marketing and 35-plus years of Encinitas and Cardiff-by-the-Sea residency to her residential real estate practice on South Coast Highway 101. The Compass office at 682 South Coast Highway 101 positions Schmauss along the Old Encinitas corridor, where listing representation on architecturally significant homes often involves pre-market consultation with Hyndman & Hyndman Architects to document original design intent for heritage-minded buyers. Coverage territory spans from Moonlight Beach south through Old Encinitas and into Cardiff-by-the-Sea, a stretch of the 101 where walking-distance beach access drives single-family valuations well above the county median. Seller-side listing preparation in this price band routinely includes hardscape and softscape upgrades coordinated with Bradley Landscape Development to stage outdoor living areas that match buyer expectations in coastal Encinitas. Top-tier transactions involve coastal-bluff parcels requiring California Coastal Development Permit applications, FEMA flood-zone elevation certificate review, and Title 24 energy-compliance documentation for pre-1978 structures.
