Our team
Cheryl Monteiro
Agent
Hi, I’m Cheryl! Born and raised in Northern California and proud to call San Diego home since 2006. I’m a wife of over 20 years and a mom to two incredible kids, one in college and one finishing up her senior year of high school. I’m a true San Diego girl at heart: give me sunshine, the beach, and anything that lets me be outdoors and I’m happy. You’ll usually find me hunting down the best local food and drinks, soaking up live music, or daydreaming about our next trip. Real estate has always felt personal to me because it’s about so much more than buying or selling a home, it’s about helping people build a life they love. I’m passionate about guiding clients through every step with clear communication, strong advocacy, genuine care and building relationships that last long after closing.
Simone Clay
Agent
Hi, I’m Simone! I’m married with two boys and a tabby cat who definitely thinks he’s in charge. I was born and raised in Ventura County and love being outdoors, especially when it involves a good hike and great food afterward. I’m a big fan of fashion and interior design, with an eclectic style that matches my music taste. Mexican and Italian food are always top of the list, and traveling to the Amalfi Coast totally stole my heart. I love real estate because I genuinely enjoy helping people feel confident, empowered, and excited throughout the buying and selling process. Making the journey fun (and stress-free) is kind of my thing.
Amber Kelley
Team Lead · Agent
Hi, I’m Amber! I live in Poway with my husband, daughter, a cat, and a pet snail (yes, really). I was born in San Diego, spent part of my childhood in Spokane, Washington, and eventually made my way back home — because it’s hard to beat San Diego’s weather, culture, diversity, and endless things to do. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me reading, walking along the beach, or listening to country music. My personal style is very country farmhouse, and I love creating spaces that feel warm and welcoming. I’m passionate about real estate because I truly love seeing others succeed. Helping my clients solve problems and reach big milestones is what drives me, and nothing makes me happier than hearing from them years later and knowing how much they love their home.
Stephanie Kline
Agent
Hi, I’m Stephanie — a San Francisco native, devoted dog lover, and avid San Diego explorer. I enjoy discovering new restaurants, walking along the beach, and savoring slow mornings at local farmers markets. Italian food and sushi are my favorites, and my style is rooted in modern design with clean black and wood accents. I’m passionate about real estate and dedicated to guiding clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives. To me, buying or selling a home is about more than the transaction, it’s about delivering a seamless, informed, and highly personalized experience that feels both exciting and meaningful.
Megan Kujawa
Agent
Hi! I’m Megan, a born-and-raised North County local. I’m married to a United States Marine Corps veteran, and we have a small parrot named Beep who definitely runs the house. One of my favorite things about living in San Diego is how close it is to everything I love — the beach, the mountains, and the desert. When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me weightlifting, gardening, or reading. I also love getting up to the mountains to snowboard or heading out to the desert to ride. Living in San Diego means it’s nearly impossible to choose a favorite food, because the food scene here is just that good. My family is the cornerstone of my life and the motivation behind everything I do. I love real estate because it allows me to meet incredible people and guide them through one of the most meaningful and exciting milestones — achieving homeownership.
