Mara Mehdy is a San Diego native and luxury real estate specialist with a decade of experience across luxury fashion and residential real estate in North County San Diego. Today she represents buyers and sellers across the region's most prestigious communities as a Compass real estate agent, affiliated with a team ranked in the top 1% of over 22,000 agents in San Diego County.

Before real estate, Mara built her career within top luxury fashion houses across Los Angeles, New York, and London. That background gave her a precise understanding of how high-net-worth clients think, what they value, and what they expect from the people who serve them. She carries that standard into every transaction.

A graduate of the University of San Francisco, Mara returned to her home market after years of living and working internationally. That global perspective combined with deep local roots allows her to serve both San Diego-based clients and those relocating to North County San Diego with equal fluency, whether that means guiding a buyer through a competitive Encinitas offer or marketing a Rancho Santa Fe estate to an international audience.

Her affiliation with Compass also gives clients access to Compass Private Exclusives, an off-market network of properties that never appear on Zillow, Realtor.com, or the public MLS. For sellers who value privacy and for buyers who want to see the full picture of what is available, this is a meaningful advantage that most agents simply cannot offer.

Her practice is built on discretion, elevated presentation, and a genuine understanding of how lifestyle, design, and location shape real estate decisions in Southern California. She specializes in luxury residential properties across Encinitas, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, and Carmel Valley, representing discerning buyers, sellers, and relocating clients who expect their advisor to operate at the highest level.
