On any given day, you might find Mary Beth Kellee and Philip Fredricksen working together on non-profit fundraising or spreading out a picnic to share with strangers at their favorite local winery. Ask either what they love doing most and you'll probably hear the answer, "connecting people!"
Mary Beth Kellee has been a licensed real estate agent and a key player in the San Diego real estate market since 1998. In 2017, Mary Beth received the San Diego Metro Agent of the Year Award, which recognizes real estate agents who display the "highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and cooperation". In 2018, Mary Beth was also recognized by San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SOAR) as one of the top producing real estate agents in San Diego and was awarded the Silver Recognition of Excellence. Known to many as a Master Connector, Mary Beth has a unique ability to network and introduce likeminded entities to join in a common mission.
Connecting people together is a gift that has been the cornerstone of her career. Mary Beth is also an expert in utilizing social media for real estate.
Philip Fredricksen joined forces with Mary Beth in 2013 after many years practicing law in tax, business, and real estate matters. His experience with family law is particularly helpful in cases involving divorce or trust concerns, where he may help resolve conflict among interested parties and negotiate for the fairest outcome.
Today, they work together seamlessly as a team, with diverse and overlapping skills that let them efficiently "divide and conquer" all the elements of each home sale. Taking new clients only by referral from their large trusted network, Mary Beth and Philip treat each one with the same respect and care due a close friend or family member, going above & beyond to promote their clients' success.






highly likely to
As first time home buyers, we wanted to have an agent that would look out for our wants and needs and Mary Beth & Philip did just that. They were 100% honest with us throughout the entire process and they fought to get us exactly what we wanted. Mary Beth & Philip were also extremely sweet and caring, always making sure we were as comfortable as we can be. Their knowledge in reality was also pivotal in helping us understand the choices we had to make. Mary Beth & Philip are the perfect Realtors for anyone!
- Adrian and Tania

Throughout the entire process, Mary Beth and Philip were professional, thoughtful, understanding, patient, responsive, and trustworthy. They are genuinely nice people who truly care about their clients - all of whom become their friends. Mary Beth and Philip work quickly and efficiently. They understand the market in San Diego County and do their very best to counsel you throughout the process, making it as stressfree as possible. Both Mary Beth and Philip are willing to work around the clock to ensure that paperwork is completed, offers are sent, and timelines are met. There were times we submitted offers as late as 11pm and as early as 6am. They never stop working for their clients. With the help of Mary Beth, Philip, and their colleagues, we were able to close in 27 days. Everyone worked extremely hard to make this happen and we are beyond grateful. We've made lifelong friends in Mary Beth and Philip and we hope they feel the same way about us. They have our highest recommendation.
- Alaina and Regina
"My husbands work has us relocating from San Diego to Sacramento and Mary Beth & Philip not only led the sale of our existing family home, they also helped us find and purchase a new smaller property so we can still call San Diego home. While looking for real estate up north in Sacramento, Mary Beth took the lead to partner with the agent up north so that all three properties closed within the same timeframe for low stress. Mary Beth and Philip exemplifies how relocations should be for families! We are so fortunate to have had them leading this project, they did it with style, class, patience, persistence and a great sense of humor! They are definitely in the "know" in San Diego! Relocations are their finesse!"

THE DAYS ARE SLOWLY GROWING LONGER, but with daylight still fleeting and nights stretching long, it’s hard not to fantasize about warmer latitudes. This St. Barth residence, with its sunlit outdoor spaces and sweeping ocean views in every direction, delivers on that barefoot luxury fantasy, promising the feeling of summer no matter the season.
Perched above the coastline with unobstructed views of the Caribbean, the property is designed around a series of independent pavilions—an architectural layout that maximizes privacy while maintaining a fluid indoor-outdoor lifestyle. At the heart of the estate, an expansive terrace frames an infinity pool that appears to spill directly into the sea. The surrounding tropical gardens cocoon each space in greenery, creating a sense of secluded serenity, while a

covered alfresco dining pavilion invites long, lingering meals in the open air.

Inside, the interiors echo the calm sophistication of the exterior landscape with a Tropical Modern aesthetic that emphasizes warm woods and organic materials. A bright and refined great room anchors the main pavilion with a lounge designed for unwinding, a fully equipped modern


kitchen, and seamless sightlines toward the ocean. A private cinema room adds an unexpected luxe touch.
Across the property’s multiple pavilions are four elegant bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom and its own sense of retreat. Their separation across the grounds not only enhances privacy but also creates a true resort-like experience, allowing guests and residents to inhabit their own intimate corners of the estate.
Listing agent Pearl Bonvallet of Coldwell Banker St. Barth describes the home as a rare blend of “luxury and tranquility,” and perfect for use as a primary residence, vacation home or a prestigious investment in one of the Caribbean’s most coveted enclaves.

One of the biggest homebuying advantages you can give yourself today is surprisingly simple: a flexible wish list.
Think of it like this. Your wish list and your budget are the guardrails of your search. And when your budget needs to hold firm, there’s another lever you can pull. That’s seeing if you truly need all of your desired features. Because the truth is, a small compromise could be the difference between feeling stuck and getting the keys to your next home.
The data shows more buyers are using that strategy to offset affordability hurdles in today’s market. A recent study from Cotality found most buyers (70%) ended up compromising on one or more items from their original wish list. But before they started searching, only 33% expected to compromise at all.
What changed? They realized something during the search. The things you can’t change matter far more than the things you can update later.

You can:
• Install hardwood floors
• Put in those marble countertops
• Upgrade the bathrooms down the line.
You can’t as easily:
• Add land
• Tack on more bedrooms or bathrooms
• Move the house closer to people you care about
In the end, things like the location, layout, and overall bones matter far more than the cosmetic features you can change later. And that realization is power.
So, if you’re hitting a wall in your search or you’re browsing online and just not seeing “it,” here’s an easy exercise that can reset the whole experience. Write down everything you want in a home, then sort it into three buckets:
• Must-Haves: Your non-negotiables. The things that make daily life workable: the number of bedrooms, the length of your commute, accessibility, safety, or being close to your family or support system.
• Nice-to-Haves: Features you’d absolutely enjoy but aren’t truly essential. Some examples: a fenced-in backyard, dual closets in the owner’s suite, or a stamped patio.
• Dream Features: The extras that would truly be over the top. They’re the things you think about when you say “one day, I want to have...” It’s great if you get them, but totally fine if you don’t (for now).
Once you divide your list, you’ll notice something. Your wish list can either limit your options or open them up.
Sometimes you’re treating “nice-to-haves” like “must-haves.” Loosen that up even a little, and suddenly more homes come into range – including homes you may have scrolled past that could actually work for your lifestyle.
Your next home doesn’t need to check every box. It just needs to check the right ones.
Maybe that means considering a house that needs light cosmetic updates. Maybe it means choosing a slightly smaller yard for a better location.
These aren’t sacrifices. They’re worthwhile trade-offs that get you into a home. Just remember, anything cosmetic can be upgraded over time. But getting the right bones, the right layout, the right location? That’s what sets you up for the long run.
If you’re not sure what to hold firm on and where you can flex, that’s where a trusted agent can be a game changer. They’ll help you spot the opportunities, walk you through what features you truly shouldn’t budge on, and determine which ones you can add later – when the time is right.
If you’re ready to find a home that fits both your budget and your life, let’s take a look at your wish list together. With a local expert on your side, it’s easier to see where a little flexibility can open up a lot more opportunity.

Want to know the #1 thing homeowners regret when they sell without an agent? It’s that they didn’t price their house correctly for their current market.
According to the latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), those sellers agree pricing their home effectively was the hardest part of the process.

Top 5 Most Difficult Task for Sellers Who Didn’t Use an Agent:
1. Getting the price right
2. Preparing or fixing up the house
3. Selling within the desired time frame
4. Handling all the legal documents
5. Finding the time to manage all aspects of the sale
And that makes sense. Pricing isn’t as simple as picking a number from an online estimate or copying what your neighbor got last year. It takes real insight into:
• What buyers are actually willing to pay today
• How much competition you have in your area
• What similar homes nearby are really selling for
• How desirable your area or neighborhood is
• The condition of your house
Without that context, it’s easy to overshoot the mark, especially now that buyers can be more selective. And in today’s market, that’ll backfire.

Overpricing Isn’t a Small Mistake, It Snowballs
Your price is part of what shapes a buyer’s first impression. And when it's too high, a chain reaction begins.If buyers think you’re asking too much, they’re going to turn the other way. And when buyers bypass your house, you'll get fewer showings. Fewer showings lead to fewer offers. And fewer offers usually mean making

a price cut to try to draw buyers back in.And that’s happening a lot lately, especially on homes sold without a pro.The same NAR report shows most homes sold without an agent (59%) had to reduce their asking price at least once (see the orange in the graph below).

The trouble is, price cuts don’t always fix the problem. They can attract bargain hunters rather than strong, confident buyers. That's because many buyers see a price drop as a sign there’s something wrong with the house. And that assumption can turn buyers away too.

By the time your house finally sells, you may net less than if you’d priced it correctly from the start. Again, the data backs this up.
NAR shows that homes sold with an agent sell for nearly 8% more than homes sold without one.

That’s not because agents magically add value. It’s because they have the expertise needed to get it right. The price. The prep. The presentation. And the paperwork.
Nail all of that from day one, and you'll be set up to get as much money as you can out of your sale.
So, even though you thought selling without an agent meant saving money, that's not necessarily true. The facts show selling on your own can mean selling for less in the long run. And that may be enough to totally change your perspective.
Bottom Line
Today, the biggest risk of selling without an agent isn’t the paperwork or the hassle. It’s the price. And once pricing goes wrong, it’s hard to course correct.
So, if you’re thinking about selling and want to understand what your home would realistically go for in our market today, let's connect. A quick pricing conversation now can save you from bigger regrets later.
