DRE #01325250 Broker Associate Cleve Shirley works the Shafran Realty Group team at Compass from a Wawona Drive office near Sunset Cliffs, with 20+ years of San Diego transactions and a lifetime of local residency. Home-insurance binders for purchase-side escrows coordinate with independent brokers including Ives Insurance Services so the hazard-insurance carrier line, CA-wildfire exclusion review, and earthquake-endorsement offer all clear in the lender-required proof-of-insurance window. Listing-side work includes pre-sale comparative market analysis, staging recommendations, disclosure-packet preparation, and broker open-house programming through the Compass agent network. Referral-based client flow drives the business, with most transactions coming from repeat clients and attorney and accountant referral networks. Pre-listing capital-gains and cost-basis analyses get prepared through tax preparers such as Point Loma Tax Preparation so the seller knows the Section 121 $250K/$500K exclusion math and the depreciation-recapture exposure on any prior rental years before the deal hits the market. The most complex work is elder-relocation transactions where an aging parents Point Loma home sale has to coordinate with an investor buy-in a trust vehicle, a Medi-Cal estate-recovery review, and a move into assisted living within a single 60-day window.
