Castro Group Real Estate is a residential brokerage and property management firm in Kensington, San Diego, at 4248 Adams Avenue in the 92116 ZIP. Founded by Marty Castro in 2001, with the Kensington office operating since 2007, the firm is now co-owned by Marty and Lauren Castro, who also serves as Vice President of the Kensington-Talmadge Business Association and sits on the board of the Adams Avenue Business Association. Castro Group's residential sales practice covers listings, buyer representation, and short sales across Kensington, Normal Heights, University Heights, and the wider San Diego market, with a flat-fee service structure that itemizes brokerage costs differently from percentage-based commission models. The Kensington address anchors the eastern end of the Adams Avenue commercial corridor, within the walkable village district near Marlborough Drive and the Kensington sign, blocks from community anchors including the Kensington-Normal Heights Branch Library. Marty Castro is a third-generation San Diegan with over two decades of transaction volume in the local market, a depth of neighborhood-level pricing knowledge that informs the comp analyses and negotiation strategies the team deploys on Adams Avenue listings. The property management division handles tenant placement, lease administration, maintenance dispatch, and owner reporting for single-family homes and multifamily units, with a pre-listing design consultation service that stages and upgrades properties to increase sale price before they reach the MLS. Marketing collateral for listings runs through local production vendors including Ego id Media, whose print and digital design work supports the photography-forward listing presentations Castro Group uses to generate buyer interest. Lauren Castro's board role with the Adams Avenue Business Association connects the firm directly to corridor-level planning that affects property values, zoning decisions, and commercial lease trends throughout Normal Heights.
