I'm Ezra Betech, a realtor with Balboa Real Estate and an institutional fixed income trader. I help buyers and sellers in Carmel Valley, Del Mar, La Jolla, and across San Diego price, negotiate, and decide with real market data.
In a market as competitive as San Diego's, who you choose to represent you matters. I offer a dual perspective: the local knowledge of a native, combined with more than 14 years in global financial markets.
I price homes from closed MLS sales and absorption rates, not automated estimates. Whether you are buying or selling, I don't just facilitate a transaction. I execute a strategy designed to protect and grow your equity.
Clear market positioning and professional negotiation tactics drawn from high stakes finance. Data driven pricing that eliminates guesswork.
A data first perspective to identify value wherever you are looking. Financial analysis to help you navigate inventory cycles with total clarity and make a sound investment.
Bridging financial expertise and San Diego real estate. Transparency and honest advice. The kind of precision usually reserved for high level financial portfolios, applied to your home.

Ezra was extremely accommodating and eager to get results, pre listing and post listing. We received an offer within 2 days of posting over the asking price due to his efforts. He was on top of all issues that came along during escrow and worked very hard to address each one right away. Highly recommend and will use him in the future.
We recently moved to San Diego from LA and we're so fortunate we had Ezra helping us along the way. He knew the neighborhoods inside and out, was quick to respond and was the best negotiator! 10/10! Thank you for all of your help!
After seeing other units in our building sit for months, I was nervous. But Ezra’s approach relied heavily on market data – not just comps. Ultimately, his strategy proved perfect as we accepted an offer the first weekend and quickly sold our home while similar homes sat stagnant. What impressed me the most was his negotiation skills. He explained exactly where our leverage was and applied it perfectly.
Ezra was extremely helpful and informative when we were considering selling a rental condo, after looking at all the info he helped us determine that it wasn’t the right move to sell. He didn’t try and convince us to sell. Very honest, and super informative. Will definitely use him when we do decide to sell any properties.

Detached homes closed faster than ever, a median 13 days, but at 98.2% of asking instead of August's full price, and the pending over active spread turned negative for the first time in three months. The Fed hiked for the first time since 2023, and mortgage rates broke 7.2% anyway.

I'm Ezra Betech, a licensed real estate agent with Balboa Real Estate and an institutional fixed income trader at LM Capital Group. I run these two careers in parallel because together they create an advantage neither produces alone.
As an active trader, I track Treasury yields, inflation, and the macroeconomic forces shaping mortgage rates in real time. I see the data behind shifts in buyer demand as it prints, often well before it reaches the headlines, and that intelligence flows directly into the strategy I build for my clients.
For years, this level of analysis was something I shared only with my closest circle. Friends and family who knew to call me before making a move. I was never just their agent. I was their edge. Now I am taking on clients beyond that private network.
I run a fully bilingual practice in English and Spanish for buyers, sellers, and investors. Born and raised in San Diego, I am raising my own family in Carmel Valley. I serve the whole county, with my deepest focus on Carmel Valley (92130), including Pacific Highlands Ranch, plus Del Mar and La Jolla. This market is not just an assignment. It is home.
