Emaluisa Bustamante

Emaluisa Bustamante

Welcome! I’m Emaluisa, a proud Tijuana/San Diego native and La Jolla resident for over 15 years. Having lived and worked on both sides of the border, I bring a unique, bicultural perspective to real estate, along with deep knowledge of San Diego’s diverse neighborhoods. I'm fluent in Spanish and proud to serve clients in both English and Spanish with warmth and clarity.

As a real estate professional, I understand the emotional and financial complexities that come with buying or selling a home. Whether you're a first-time buyer, seasoned investor, or relocating, I offer a highly personalized, client-centered approach, always with a sharp focus on results. My proven method is driven by preparation, deep local insight, and strategic negotiation, which consistently leads to the best possible outcomes for my clients.
 
Beyond real estate, I’m the mother of two amazing teenage sons, a curious traveler, and a lifelong learner. I'm actively involved in several charitable foundations and believe deeply in giving back. With every deal I close, I make a monetary contribution to a charitable organization in my client’s name, a meaningful way to celebrate each success and pay it forward.
 
These life experiences have taught me the power of connection, listening, and trust, values that guide how I work. I'm passionate about helping people find not just a house, but a place they’re proud to call home, and I’m committed to delivering results that reflect that mission.

"Ema has been an excellent broker for us. We were very selective and had a very specific idea of the home we wanted. She was patient and worked very hard with us to find that right house. She would arrange to get us into see any house we were interested in on a moment's notice and efficiently and quickly submit several offers during our house hunting journey (lasting about a year). She was also very knowledgeable about making our offer to have the most advantage in consideration. We credit her 100% in getting us our home, perfect in every way."

"Very professional, effective, and comprehensive service. She exceeded expectations. The result was a successful purchase, at or below the desired price range, and very efficiently concluded with assistance for cosmetic upgrades prior to moving in."

"Simply the best. Emaluisa is simply the best! I could not have ever imagined a better human and real estate agent to guide us on this crazy property owning journey in San Diego. We met two and a half years ago on Instagram, virtually house hunted through a pandemic, made countless offers in the hottest real estate market in history, experienced a devastating escrow meltdown in 2021, and now finally have come out the other side as property owners in Mission Bay Park, San Diego! The best part is I now own land and have an amazing friend for life!"

"My family and I relocated to America, and Emmaluisa, to help us find a home in America. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, accommodating, and helpful. She was invaluable for our transition into a new country. Once we signed the lease, she helped us to conduct a thorough walk-through of the property, and she was always checking up on us to see if we were doing okay. Emaluisa has been my first pleasant experience with a professional realtor who had my interests and stayed within my budget. On top of that, EmmaLuisa has a foundation, so all her earnings go to a nonprofit that does extraordinary work for orphan children. I truly recommend her!"
