Operating under California DRE #01809507, Broker Associate Jill Eastman has worked San Diego real estate since 2003 as part of Armstrong & Associates at Compass on Fort Stockton Drive in Mission Hills. Her Short-Sales Senior Specialist and Senior Real Estate Specialist designations grew out of navigating the post-2008 distressed-property era, and every listing now cycles through editorial shoots with Brady Architectural Photography before it hits MLS. As a woman-owned, disabled-owned practice, Eastman brings a buyer-side perspective shaped by a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis in infancy and two 2005 organ transplants tied to a Diabetes Research Institute study. Pocket-listing access through Compass's private exclusive network pairs with pre-market inspection coordination via All Pro Home Inspections to surface defects before a buyer's inspector ever walks the property. First-time buyer education and short-sale lender negotiation fill out the rest of her bench. The heaviest files remain multi-party short-sale approvals requiring simultaneous lender, HOA, and seller sign-off, the niche that keeps the practice anchored in distressed-asset transactions alongside conventional Mission Hills listings.
