Buyers review
"Lexie was an amazing agent to work with! This was my first assumption and after hearing some stories, it seemed almost impossible. Lexie worked with the seller's agent to beat all other offers and even close weeks sooner than expected. She was always available, thoughtful, and reliable. I highly recommend her and the whole Read MoreRead Less
"Katie stuck with us for years while we searched for a very niche style of home, and never once made the process feel rushed or transactional. When we finally found the right place in the she helped us secure it for under the appraised value in a tricky climate. Beyond the purchase, she was incredibly helpful with renovationRead MoreRead Less
"I can't recommend Lex Dindal enough! Selling a home while living overseas seemed like a huge challenge, but Lex made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. She was with us every step of the way — always available, proactive, and extremely organized. What truly set Lex apart was how accurate and thoughtful allRead MoreRead Less
"Katie and Sparky are amazing! They worked harder for us than any other realtor we’ve used in the past—and they’re just awesome people. They were patient, we never felt pressured or rushed and they kept us connected to what’s important to us. They guided us as we talked through move-in ready vs. renovating, whether this wasRead MoreRead Less
"I cannot speak highly enough about Katie and the Pond Team. I will be referring them to anyone and everyone I know. Katie made the entire process of preparing and selling my late grandmother’s house easier than I could have ever imagined (especially since I currently live in another state). Her personable demeanor and empatRead MoreRead Less
"We just closed on our first home with Katie Pond and I cannot speak more highly of her as both a person and an agent. Katie is patient, knowledgeable, kind, communicative, takes initiative, and has a seemingly infinite knowledge of everything from the local neighborhood restaurants, to where to best place kids beds to maximRead MoreRead Less
"Pond Team at Compass, Encinitas, CA surely did the job for us. Katie Pond (our agent) was an extreme pleasure to work with. Having to sell my mother's house for the changing seasons of her life was a very difficult and emotional task to undertake. I had no idea where to start, so I looked up the top realtors in North CountyRead MoreRead Less
"The Pond Team made selling our property effortless. We were out of state and their team provided us with the support we needed to get the property sold with an offer on the first day!. I can't thank them enough for all they did for us."
"Katie Pond far surpassed our expectations of a realtor. She determined our needs and wants, our budget and geographical boundaries, and helped us find our new home. She is knowledgeable and always responds quickly to our questions and inquiries. The Pond Team is professional and reliable. My family and I enjoyed our houRead MoreRead Less
"My experience working with the Pond Team was unfailingly positive. From beginning to end their professionalism and positive spirit made the sale of my home a seamless experience.

If you’ve cruised down the 101 in Encinitas lately, you’ve probably spotted Juice Holler and thought… “okay, another juice place.”

Same. But after actually going in… it’s so much more.

We tried the Encinitas Glow Juice (Pineapple, cucumber, green apple, kale, lemon, spirulina) the beetroot rose functional latte (beetroot, rose water, coconut milk, maple), and the smoked salmon toast (Beetroot hummus, smoked salmon, micro greens, feta, sesame seeds, on @pragerbrothers sourdough)🤌

But here’s what makes this spot stand out 👇

🥤 Cold-pressed juices in reusable glass bottles
🍓 Nutrient-packed smoothies
🥥 Vibrant smoothie bowls & salads loaded with antioxidants
☕ Functional lattes
🥗 Clean, guilt-free grab & go snacks
🌿 Everything made in-house with organic, local ingredients

Honestly, it’s the perfect grab after a surf, post-yoga reset, or quick stop before hitting the beach.

📍Encinitas | right off the 101

This one’s officially in the rotation. @juiceholler
