San Diego County is one of the most desirable areas in the entire United States, or the world for that matter, to live, work and play. The majority of the population lives within about fifteen miles of the coast where there is a year-round mild climate. Almost every active outdoor lifestyle can be enjoyed in the county and winter ski resorts are a two to three hour drive away. With a population of over 1.4 million, San Diego is the eight largest city in the United States. The metro area has approximately 3 million residents. The economy is well diversified with defense contractors and a major U.S Navy presence, as well as high tech and biotechnology companies with major operations in the area. There are over 13,000 real estate agents and brokers in the area. The publisher has selected 10 of the top agents and brokers to contribute to this book. Each of the contributors has a high volume of completed transactions, is highly rated by their clients, and is an advocate for their clients' success. Each contributor has provided their insights for real estate buyers and/or sellers in the area. This book is a useful reference for consumers interested in buying or selling homes and other residential properties in the greater San Diego area.
