"Todd was quick to help us find a home in the neighborhood we desired! He is an expert in the area. We can walk to restaurants & stores. I am 6 minutes to my office. Being new to San Diego it was a treat to have such a local market expert! "

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Todd is the consummate professional. He acted as broker for the of my step-mother's condo Mission Hills and the process was effortless and rapid. This was despite my residing out-of-state. I found Todd by calling all the high-end brokers in Mission Hills on a lovely Saturday morning. As a testament to his professionalism, he was the only one who was available on the phone. Todd assisted with every aspect of the ,including some light remodeling, staging, and hosting an open house for brokers as well as buyers. He netted us $100k over other estimates and the whole process from start to finish took just a few months. I cannot make a higher recommendation. He's a pro. "

"Todd was great through our entire process of both buying and selling real estate. He is knowledgeable, energetic, thorough and an excellent communicator. He was supportive and optimistic through the low points of the process and celebratory with high points. I am very glad we chose Todd as our broker and cannot imagine anyone who could have been better for us. "

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Selling our home was the second real estate transaction that Todd guided us through, after helping us purchase that same home in 2014. At times, we were not the easiest clients to deal with, but Todd never got impatient or frustrated, instead explaining and advising in a helpful way. His experience in San Diego real estate was immediately evident, and he will be our first choice when we buy our next home in San Diego. "

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Todd and his team are extremely patient, knowledgeable, thorough and professional. He worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home for our family while making himself available to answer questions and to provide follow up and feedback to expedite the purchase of our new house. We are so grateful that a colleague recommended him to us. He and his team made our transition to the west coast seamless! "

About Todd

Todd Armstrong: From Military Precision to Real Estate Excellence

Todd Armstrong's journey from military service to elite real estate consulting is a testament to his dedication, discipline, and commitment to excellence. Originally from Covington, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio, Todd began his distinguished Naval career in 1986 at the age of 17. He honed his technical expertise as an Aviation Electrician and Electronics Specialist, with his first duty station at NAS Cubi Point, Philippines. From there, he made his way to San Diego, serving at NAS Miramar, where he worked on one of the most iconic fighter jets in history ā€” the F-14 Tomcat. Over the course of a 23-year military career, Todd completed multiple overseas deployments on three aircraft carriers, ultimately retiring in San Diego as a Senior Chief Petty Officer.

Following his military service, Todd continued to serve his country as a civilian contractor and Lead Field Engineer for General Atomics. As a Deployment Team Leader, he led missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, supporting combat operations with armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). His leadership played a critical role in global missions such as Operation Enduring Freedom and the Iraq War, where discretion, strategy, and precision were paramount.

Today, Todd applies these same principles of leadership, integrity, and discretion as a premier Real Estate Consultant with Compass.

His approach to real estate extends beyond simple transactions. Todd and his team offer comprehensive relocation services, assistance with short- and long-term leasing, vacation rental sourcing, and logistical support with packing, moving, and the transport of fine art and luxury automobiles. His clients benefit from his meticulous attention to detail, honed during decades of military service and elite private sector operations.

Adding to his extensive expertise, Todd holds a certification in Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management from Cornell University. This credential further expands his ability to provide sophisticated investment advice to his clientele.
