Kevin Sheedy Realty

What Kevin Sheedy Realty does

Kevin Sheedy Realty is a sole-producer residential real estate brokerage headquartered at 7424 Jackson Drive, Suite #10, San Diego, CA, operating under California DRE license #01783042. Founded in 1990 by Kevin Sheedy, the firm sells and represents buyers of homes in the San Diego market, and has accumulated over 1,600 career transactions at a stated pace of approximately 60 homes per year. The brokerage is staffed by Kevin Sheedy as broker/owner and at least one office assistant, with no additional agents disclosed. Service delivery relies on traditional real estate brokerage mechanics rather than proprietary technology.

The business generates revenue through commissions on home sale transactions, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. Marketing reach is the firm's stated differentiation: listings are syndicated through the San Diego MLS and to 10+ third-party real estate portals (Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, Realtor.com, Movoto, RealEstate.com, Estately, PropertyPanorama, HomeBay, Xome), supported by direct mail campaigns, recurring agent email blasts, professional photography, and company signage. The IDX-integrated website (kslistings.com) provides buyers with map search, featured listings, email alerts, and showing scheduling. A preferred lender relationship with Guild Mortgage provides financing coordination, and the firm offers free home valuations and an online resource library for buyers and sellers.

Kevin Sheedy's professional track record is the firm's primary commercial asset: a 98.5% career average list-to-sale price ratio, a 28-day average listing market time, and self-reported Top 1% nationwide producer status each year since 1990. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by referrals, word-of-mouth, and direct outreach within the San Diego market. There is no disclosed headcount growth, no expansion beyond San Diego County, no funding, and no parent company — the business is a founder-owned, bootstrapped individual practice whose enterprise value is effectively equivalent to the ongoing production capacity of its sole broker.

Broad incumbents

• Redfin: Tech-enabled residential brokerage with active San Diego operations and consumer-direct portal. Competes for seller mandates and buyer leads with a more digital, lower-commission model.
• RE/MAX: Globally recognized residential brokerage franchise with thousands of agents across San Diego. Competes in the same traditional residential market with similar commission-based transaction economics.
• Coldwell Banker: Long-established national residential brokerage franchise with strong San Diego agent network. Competes for the same traditional home-buying/selling clients as Kevin Sheedy Realty, with brand recognition and franchise resources.
• eXp Realty: Cloud-based national brokerage rapidly adding agents in California. Operates with a similar commission-based transaction model but with a scalable agent-recruitment model that contrasts with Kevin Sheedy's sole-producer structure.
• Compass: Large US residential brokerage with significant San Diego presence, tech-enabled agent platform, and aggressive national recruitment. Directly overlaps Kevin Sheedy Realty's buyer and seller representation offering, but at vastly greater scale.
• HomeSmart: Large national residential brokerage with a presence in San Diego offering traditional and flat-fee buyer/seller representation. Directly comparable transaction-based commission model.
• Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices: National residential brokerage brand operating in San Diego with a wide agent base and brand affiliation. Comparable buyer/seller representation model with broader geographic and pricing-tier reach.

Others

• Zillow: Consumer-facing real estate portal that is both a key marketing channel for Kevin Sheedy Realty (listings syndication) and an indirect competitor via Zillow Offers/iBuying and Premier Agent lead generation. Adjacent but enabling/competing relationship.
• Guild Mortgage: Kevin Sheedy Realty's preferred-lender partner providing home loan products. Included as an ecosystem peer given the integrated financing channel and the revenue-share/cross-sell potential between broker and lender.

Direct peers

• Pacific Sotheby's International Realty: San Diego-headquartered residential brokerage affiliated with the Sotheby's luxury network. Closest geographic and product-market overlap, serving the same San Diego buyer and seller pool across price tiers.
