“We have had a number of great experiences in selling and listing our homes and rental properties with Mary. She has continually followed through professionally with all our listings and purchases. To this day she passes properties on to us that might be of interest to us. For that we are most appreciative. Knowing that her work with us has always paid off we would never consider working with another agent.”

About Mary

If you're looking for a real estate partner who truly knows San Diego's coast — not just the listings, but the communities, the nuances, and what each neighborhood actually feels like to live in — you've found her.

Mary Smylie is a luxury coastal real estate specialist with Compass and co-founder of Aspire Realty Collective, a boutique team built on one simple belief: that every client deserves to achieve everything they aspire to in real estate. Alongside her partner Joanne Lindberg, Mary helps buyers, sellers, and investors navigate San Diego's most sought-after coastal communities — from Oceanside and Carlsbad through Encinitas, Del Mar, and into La Jolla and Pacific Beach.

With a decade of experience and a client base where more than 75% of business comes from referrals and repeat clients, Mary's reputation is built on something that can't be manufactured: trust. Her clients return — and send their friends and family — because she tells the truth, asks the right questions, and advocates fiercely for the people she represents.

What makes Mary's approach different is the combination of genuine warmth and serious expertise. She understands that a luxury real estate transaction is never just a transaction — it's a major life decision. Whether you're relocating to the San Diego coast, selling a home you've loved for years, or building a coastal investment portfolio, she brings the market intelligence, negotiating skill, and honest counsel to guide you confidently from first conversation to closing.

Mary's professional standards are shaped in part by her close connection to Buffini & Company — the #1 real estate coaching organization in North America that values a culture of excellence and client-first service which she brings to every relationship.
