★★★★★
"Bree did an amazing job helping us with our crazy request - find us our dream home in Rancho Santa Fe with only one weekend in town to find it! Not only was she willing to show us homes all over town in a marathon day, but she was also a trustworthy point person for us when we flew back to our current home and needed to complete the process remotely. I without a doubt recommend Bree for all your real estate needs!" - Allie Erickson, Fairbanks Ranch

★★★★★
"As a real estate broker for 30 years, I really appreciated the fact that Bree knew how to listen when my husband and I gave her our requirements for a home as we made a move from northern California to Rancho Santa Fe. 3 of the 5 homes shown to us by Bree on our only trip south were 'right on target'...the other two were calibration 'stretches' of our requirements. It was an easy decision to select Bree as our exclusive buy-side agent out of the 3 agents we interviewed for the job. She previewed a number of properties with us via Compass's excellent web site Within a week, she identified a candidate property and did a walk-through video tour of the 'perfect' house for us. We made an offer that was accepted based on that video tour, and when we saw the house a couple weeks later, it exceeded our expectations. Our very smooth Escrow closed yesterday. Throughout the process, Bree efficiently addressed the routine issues that come-up in any Escrow. She delivered valuable value-add services such as providing us with a number of service providers she has used that we'll be using as well. She went above/beyond to be our 'remote hands' in Rancho Santa Fe on a number of tasks that would otherwise have required us to make trips to the area before closing. Aside from just being a nice, pleasant, low-pressure agent, she very quickly internalized our needs, wants, and priorities, which made our search very efficient and allowed us to quickly make our decision in a very tight buyer's market. We can't say enough about Bree's professionalism and follow-through. My husband says, other than my wife, there is no other agent that I have worked with that compares to Bree." - Judy Peters, The Crosby Estates

★★★★★
"I landed on Bree's doorstep after an exhaustive search for someone who was very specific to Rancho Santa Fe and who had an appreciation for the type house we were looking for. We are big fans of the architect Lillian Rice and wanted to acquire a Lillian Rice house, and so we turned to Bree. We ended up with a lovely Holcombe house as no Lillian Rice homes were available in the time frame that we needed for relocation, but Bree's efforts to secure a Lillian Rice included reaching out to current owners, and asking if there were any interest to sell. This actually got us a few leads and a viewing or two. Not only is Bree fearless, she is also personable and funny. We had many a humorous moment looking at potential properties and I consider Bree a friend that I value immensely. When it comes time to sell in a few years, Bree will be representing us as the seller." - Terry Carr-Hall, Rancho Santa Fe, Covenant

★★★★★
"Having the right agent is Paramount. Bree helped our find a perfect home in Del Mar! She worked tirelessly until she knew we were happy. She was professional, knowledgeable, efficient and handled every detail without a flaw. We would recommend Bree without a doubt." - Richard & Jazmin Blais (Celebrity Top Chef)

★★★★★
"Bree was very helpful in getting through a very complicated transaction with changing dynamics. She assisted us in selling our current home and purchasing a new home. She is very knowledgeable about Rancho Santa Fe." - Brey and Taryn Jones (Seller & Buyer Twice)

★★★★★
"As a seller and buyer twice Bree was instrumental in making our complicated move from Canada three years ago a success. She was patient and very knowledgeable about the areas that we were looking to purchase a home in. Bree worked diligently to find us our dream home and negotiate a fair price. We have since used Bree to sell our Rancho Santa Fe property and purchase our next home closer to the beach in Encinitas. I can not recommend her enough if you are looking for a professional caring agent. Not one whose first question is how much money do you make, as many other ranch agents are only interested in a quick process." - Michelle F. (Seller & Buyer Twice)

About Bree

Bree Bornstein Group is a design-led, boutique luxury real estate and advisory firm specializing in architecturally significant estates in Rancho Santa Fe and Coastal North County. With a foundation in interior design and a deep respect for architecture, we approach each property not as a listing — but as a curated story waiting to be told.

Luxury, Led by Design

Our work is fundamentally design-driven. Led by Bree Bornstein’s background in interior design and renovation, we provide strategic guidance that goes far beyond traditional real estate. From architectural positioning and pre-market enhancements to editorial-level visual storytelling, every decision is made with one goal in mind: to elevate the emotional and perceived value of the home in the eyes of today’s luxury buyer.

We call this approach Architectural Storytelling™ — honoring a home’s original intent while presenting it through a modern, aspirational lens.

Curated. Intentional. Confidential.

We operate as a boutique luxury house, not a high-volume brokerage. Our relationships are personal, our service is highly tailored, and our process is discreet. Many of our most significant transactions are handled quietly, off-market, or through private introductions within trusted networks.

Vertically Integrated Specialists

Our team operates with focused specialization — strategy, design coordination, marketing execution, and transaction management — ensuring consistency, precision, and a seamless experience from preparation through closing.

Global Reach, Refined Delivery

Through our affiliation with Compass, we connect Rancho Santa Fe estates to qualified buyers across major U.S. and international markets. Our marketing is cinematic, design-forward, and targeted — reaching the right audience with restraint and impact.

Proven Results, Built on Trust

With over $750M in collective group sales and more than 80% of our business driven by repeat and referral clients, our results reflect enduring relationships and trusted counsel.

A Different Kind of Luxury Representation

We are not the right fit for everyone — and that is intentional.

We are for clients who value design, architectural integrity, discretion, and a curated boutique experience.
