About Kip

About
Kip's path into resale luxury real estate ran through development sales; after starting as a real estate docent for Keystone Resorts in 1996, he joined IMI, a Greenville, South Carolina sales and marketing firm, and spent the following years running presale strategy and sales for 22 residential developmentsparticipating in more than $2.5 billion dollars of transaction volume before he ever listed a resale home. That work brought him to San Diego, where he served as the original director of sales for Santaluz, the 850+ home private golf community in 92127. Today he represents buyers and sellers from $1.2M to $20M+ across Santaluz and Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Solana Beach, La Jolla, and Carmel Valley, with secondary coverage in Poway, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Oceanside. He is known for pricing realism over salesmanship, remaining involved at every stage of a transaction, and for telling clients the uncomfortable truth about the market rather than the comfortable story.

Rick H. sold a home in San Diego

Kip and his team went above and beyond to sell my house and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. As an out of state seller, I was limited on what I could do during the listing and sales process. Kip and his team handled everything from staging to inspection request items to closing with very little help from me. My house sold quickly and for a very good price. This was my third transaction with Kip and he has always been knowledgeable, friendly and fun to work with. I highly recommend Boatcher and Associates if you are looking to buy or sell!

John P. bought a home in Scripps Ranch

Kip and his team were a tremendous asset to us when we relocated our family to Carlsbad from Northern California. We met them while we were investigating the area, and he dove in even though our time frame was far out. They helped when we decided to rent first to learn about the community. Kip Boatcher + Associates are awesome!

Adam S. sold a home in Rancho Bernardo

Kip is the ideal partner for a real estate transaction; knowledgeable, responsive, and driven. Being new to San Diego, Kip dedicated several weekends to introduce us to neighborhoods, educate us on schools, parks, amenities, and commutes. Kip was always patient in the process, never pushed (budget, timing, or otherwise), and provided honest feedback throughout the process. I was most impressed with Kip's professionalism during our buying process. We dealt with many difficult issues in our negotiations, inspections, and even post close issues. Kip always supported us, provided sound advice, and was quick to team with the selling agent to find an acceptable resolution to the issues. I highly recommend Kip and his team!

Brian J. sold a home in San Diego

I recently had the pleasure working with Kip on the sale of my house and the purchase of our new home in the Santa Luz area. When the house that I was selling fell out of escrow, I hired Kip. He got me 85K more than the original contract, and did so within two hours on the first day of listing my property. By profession, Ive worked with hundreds of real estate agents over the years. I have not met any other RE professionals that possess Kips background, or level of knowledge, while maintaining his down to earth demeanor. If youre looking for an agent who is the best of the best, and still understands what a fiduciary responsibility is, Kip will be sure to impress you!

Carla W. bought a home in Solana Beach

Kip did a fantastic job for us in the purchase of our Solana Beach property. He clearly demonstrated his knowledge of the local area and the market trends that impact the market. During the purchase process, he was very proactive and led every step of the way. We would strongly recommend Kip and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate
