About Emily

Emily Benito San Diego, CA Real Estate Agent Headshot

Emily Benito

Emily Benito moved to San Diego in 2006, trading the hustle of Los Angeles for the laid-back luxury of coastal living. Now a longtime local, she helps families find their dream home in the neighborhoods that offer the best of San Diego: from the coastal charm of Point Loma and Bay Park, to the family-friendly suburbs of Del Cerro and San Carlos, to the elevated lifestyle of UTC and North County Coastal communities.
 
With over 30 years of business experience, Emily blends sharp negotiation skills with modern marketing and a personal touch. Her true passion lies in working closely with families during major life transitions—especially those moving up from a starter home or relocating from out of the area. She’s known for managing complex timelines with ease, curating lifestyle-driven home searches, and delivering a smooth, results-driven experience.
 
Emily’s clients include dual-income professionals, military families, and established homeowners looking to upgrade into a home that finally fits. Whether navigating VA loans, prepping a home for sale, or landing the perfect forever home, she brings strategy, heart, and hustle to every transaction.
 
A proud boy mom and San Diego suburbs resident, Emily soaks up the San Diego lifestyle—morning walks, hot yoga, boating on the bay, and supporting local eats with a view.
 
If you’re craving more space, a better lifestyle, or a fresh chapter in San Diego, Emily Benito is the trusted agent to help you make that move with confidence.

Testimonials

"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily in purchasing our first home. In a span of 3 months, we looked at over 20 properties in person and hundreds online, but Emily remained patient and flexible throughout the process. We surely appreciated her transparency and honesty while house hunting, to ensure that we were checking all of our requirements, understanding the numbers, and receiving the best deal on the home. She even went the extra mile in providing us with important details and guidance each step of the way, all the way until closing. The entire experience was a bearable one, all thanks to Emily! I highly recommend everyone partner with Emily in their homebuying journey."

"Emily went above and beyond to get my offer accepted on ‘The One’ of many properties, and I’m so grateful for the work and effort put in to make the magic happen. She was always responsive in a timely manner, if not minutes. Her knowledge and expertise were evident through a smooth process from beginning to end. Emily knows her business and collaborated with a stellar lender to get my son and I in to our new home, even an early close! Thank you, my friend, we appreciate you! If you are looking for a professional realtor who treats you like family, give Emily a call."
