DRE #00886754-credentialed Kelly Madruga runs Point Loma's Choice Properties brokerage from Dickens Street, holding a California real estate license since 1986 and specializing in peninsula and Ocean Beach residential sales with over $50 million in career closed volume. Her pre-listing process includes coordinating property-condition inspections through firms like Monaco Home Inspections to identify structural, roofing, and systems issues before they surface during buyer due diligence. A lifelong San Diego resident, she tracks micro-market pricing shifts across La Playa, Roseville-Fleetridge, Loma Portal, and the Wooded Area — granular sub-neighborhood knowledge that informs her comparative market analyses for Point Loma San Diego sellers. Buyers under contract bind homeowner-insurance policies through peninsula agencies such as Einhorn Insurance Agency while Madruga manages inspection-response negotiations and contingency-removal deadlines. The highest-value engagements involve multi-generational property transfers where she coordinates listing strategy, capital-gains analysis, and Proposition 19 parent-child transfer exclusions within a single escrow timeline.
