Shellie Donofrio is a distinguished real estate advisor with over two decades of elite experience and a proven track record of success in California’s most prestigious coastal markets. She began her career as the co-founder of a boutique real estate firm in San Diego, representing clients across La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado, and Mission Beach specializing in high-end residential sales, investment properties, vacation rentals, and executive relocations.

Now representing John R. Wood Christie’s International Real Estate, Shellie is aligned with one of the most prestigious and globally connected brokerages in the United States.

Her affiliation with this elite firm provides access to an international network of luxury buyers, investors, and relocation resources, making her an invaluable partner in today’s competitive market. Having made the cross-country relocation herself, she understands firsthand the emotional and logistical challenges of starting fresh in a new state.

Shellie is especially experienced in helping buyers and investors find second homes and vacation properties that fit their lifestyle and long-term goals. Whether you are searching for a peaceful retreat, a canal-front paradise, or a new chapter entirely, she will make the journey as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

Shellie is highly regarded for her expertise in coastal and waterfront living, second-home acquisitions, and complex cross-country relocations. Her approach is deeply personalized, proactive, and results-driven combining concierge-level service with sharp negotiation skills and a sophisticated understanding of both lifestyle and investment value. From exclusive waterfront estates to elegant vacation retreats, Shellie helps her clients unlock the true potential of luxury living.

When Shellie isn’t previewing exceptional homes or closing deals, she enjoys boating, discovering Florida’s hidden gems, and spending time gardening, perfecting her golf swing, chasing her three dogs or learning the art of fishing with her two sons.

Because in Florida, luxury isn’t about being formal, it is about living beautifully. Think barefoot sunsets, boat days, and a home that feels like a five-star escape.
