DRE# 02122569
Born and raised in San Diego, I attended the University of California, San Diego, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Cell Biology.

ADAM KIRK
DRE# 02095748
Originally from Humboldt County California, I was born and raised in the small town of Eureka and spent most of my early years training and pursuing the dream of leaving my hometown to go on and become a major league baseball player. Although my career ended in college at The University of Nevada Reno, another goal sprouted in its place. My next dream was to work in the people business and serve the community of my new home in San Diego. To this day I still apply the lessons and work ethic that I learned playing baseball to my work in real estate. As I now work as a Realtor, it is my commitment to both my team and my clients to always show up, lead from the front and work with the highest moral and ethical standards to fulfill my fiduciary responsibilities as a San Diego Realtor.

Before moving to San Diego in 2016, I worked in Real Estate and the “friendly skies” as a Flight Attendant for Southwest Airlines for nearly 20 years, where I developed an understanding of excellent client service. Today as the Client Care Coordinator with The Selby Team, I focus on getting to know our clients as real people and taking care of them from the beginning to the end. Whether you’re a first-time home buyer or seasoned seller, I will bring a welcome energy to your next real estate adventure.

New European-style café brings community, culture to eastern edge of Adams Avenue
Asmall café with an understated aesthetic is bringing new life to the eastern edge of Adams Avenue.
In 2023, neighbors began noticing some changes to the facade of 3569 Adams. The owners of a new restaurant were hard at work, putting elbow grease into the building in anticipation of opening a European-style cafe in the heart of Normal Heights.
Less than a year later, that dream has become far more than a reality. Today, bica is home to an ever-growing community of food lovers, creators and friends who huddle on a bustling Adams Avenue patio for good vibes and good meals; California-fresh cuisine, borne in the spirit of San Diego’s tuna fishing community and served in a space inspired by the tempo and culture of a modern-day European cafe.
The restaurant is the culinary brainchild of San Diego natives Manny Da Luz and Charlie Knowles.
“We love cooking great food and we love building community,” said Da Luz. “We feel lucky to be doing both of those things right here in our hometown.”
The pair bring extensive culinary experience to the eastern edge of Adams Avenue, where they’re building culture by bringing creative communities together and advancing the local food scene by supporting a small army of up-and-coming chefs they call friends. The team sources from local farmers markets and updates their menu regularly.
“This is our playground,” said Knowles.
Bica is open daily from 6:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. and serves delicious specialty coffees, pastries and seasonal breakfast and lunch dishes.
In order for our community We love cooking great food and we love building community. ”

WE’RE MORE THAN FIVE-STAR SAN DIEGO REALTORS
WE’RE A FAMILY HELPING YOUR FAMILY MOVE FORWARD.
Steve recently helped me purchase a condo near Palm Springs and I'm so thankful for his support. Steve was so patient, caring, knowledgeable, and supportive through the entire process and a pleasure to work with. Steve always made time for our calls, questions, and inquiriesand we had many! I really appreciated that Steve went out of his way to meet us in the Palm Springs area to help us with our decision. I completely trust Steve and I value our friendship.
— RSAUVAJOT
John and his team do an outstanding job of making the home buying process as easy as possible. We moved down here from northern California and weren't familiar with the area so John did a great job of talking to us about our budget, commute, and house goals to nd the most ideal location for us to live.
With the housing market heating up in San Diego I would recommend working with e Selby Team to ensure you get the exact home you want.
— JESSICA L.
My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us with our rst home purchase. We were both nervous about buying our rst home, especially in the extremely competitive market, but knew we were in good hands. John was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process- he was professional, proactive, easily reachable, and kept a calm and uplifting attitude. We went to go see several houses all around San Diego with John and eventually found one that we loved and put an o er in. I believe the house had over a dozen other o ers, but John and I came back with a second o er which got accepted! We felt extremely lucky that we ended up in the rst house we put an o er in, but it’s not luck with John on your side. I would recommend e Selby Team to anyone ready to navigate the home buying experience!
— JACKSON M
ere aren’t enough kind words to say about John and his team. First time buyer and he answered every (and I mean EVERY) question, was a great communicator and never made me feel like a pain. His relationships in the area made the home buying process feel like a breeze and he has been there night and day to help me. A joy to work with - if you looking to buy, John’s your guy.
— KNMURPHY21
I would recommend Joanie to anyone and everyone! Morning, night, weekends and even while she's on vacation - she's always there to answer questions and very knowledgeable about the industry and SD area - bringing up things that we never even thought to consider! She guided us through the entire buying process and was able to get us into properties the day they were listed - we can't say enough about Joanie and the Selby team!!
— M.CHENG
We are so grateful to have had John on our side when buying our rst home. He found the perfect home for us and did such a great job negotiating that he got it for an amazing price. We keep seeing homes exactly like ours in our community that were purchased for much more and it makes us feel so thankful that we had John. He really knows what he is doing and was thoughtful and intentional with his negotiations. We always felt very comfortable, supported, and like he truly had our best interests at heart. Would recommend him to anyone! ank you John!
