Lisa Padilla cut her teeth in San Diego real estate over two decades ago selling luxury high-rise condos downtown and managing real estate development projects. Ultimately moving away from new construction and into re-sale real estate, she became a Real Estate Agent to directly help sellers and buyers accomplish their real estate objectives. By merging her construction background and passion for design with her elevated service, keen intuition, and impeccable standard of ethics, Lisa personally guides clients through every step of a transaction to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
A natural in versatile, fast-paced environments, Lisa’s clients benefit from her transparency, hands-on approach, negotiating acumen, and strong contractual expertise. Through her time-tested knowledge of the local market and architectural landscape, she shares unique actionable insight and strategic counsel with her clients.
As Ritual Realty's Founder and partner with Side Inc., Lisa expedites the selling and buying process by providing clients with innovative, multi-channel marketing, exclusive programs, and a nationwide network of top industry experts. An ardent proponent of fostering genuine relationships, she is well-regarded by colleagues and considers clients her friends.
Born in Orange County, Lisa grew up in a real estate household her mother was an agent and two of her brothers are general contractors. She nurtured her passion for building, design, and development while studying at the NewSchool of Architecture & Design.
Lisa is dedicated to keeping her finger on the pulse of San Diego by trying out new restaurants and venues and geeking out about the latest new development project. Outside of real estate, you will find her strolling downtown with her Australian shepherd, Margot, or offering holistic treatments as a yogi and breathwork facilitator, often hosting donation-based classes for community members.
