About Garth Wise

40+ Years in Business. A Property Developer's Eye. San Diego's Trusted Advisor.

Garth Wise brings to real estate something that cannot be taught in a classroom: a 40+ year journey in business, combined with a unique background in property development and construction that serves as an invaluable asset in every purchase or sale he oversees. This expertise allows him to delve into the investment and redevelopment potential of each property with a precision and depth that most agents simply do not possess.

Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Garth has proudly called San Diego home for over 25 years. His extensive time in the city has endowed him with an in-depth understanding of the local real estate market — its neighbourhoods, its cycles, and the nuances that determine value in each unique pocket of San Diego County.

As an integral member of Craig Lotzof & Associates at Compass, Garth’s commitment to delivering exceptional results remains unwavering. The team’s strategic approach blends national and global outreach with a localized focus — ensuring every property garners optimum visibility among the right buyers. Maintaining a steadfast commitment to ethical business practices, top-tier customer service, and an unwavering dedication to expertise is a cornerstone of Garth’s approach.

When clients entrust Garth as their advisor, his commitment is to surpass their expectations — facilitating a seamless, enjoyable, and triumphant real estate transaction. His referral to A SMART MOVE is a direct reflection of that same standard: only the most reliable, professional, and accountable vendors earn his endorsement.

Why Garth Chose A SMART MOVE

Garth Wise has built a reputation on one principle: clients deserve the absolute best — not just during the transaction, but at every step of the journey. That standard governs every vendor and every referral. A SMART MOVE has earned that association.

Whether moving across La Jolla, relocating across the country, or transitioning internationally, A SMART MOVE handles it with the same seamless coordination.
📦
Professional Packing Services
Full-service packing by trained professionals who treat every item — fine art, heirlooms, wine collections, and custom furniture — with precision and care.
🏠
Storage Solutions
Need flexibility between closing dates? A SMART MOVE offers secure, climate-controlled storage so your timeline is never held hostage by the calendar.
Vetted, W-2 Professional Crews
No subcontractors, no surprises. Every crew member is a trained A SMART MOVE employee — background-checked, uniformed, and fully accountable.
🤝
Values That Align
Garth partners with businesses that put clients first. A SMART MOVE's commitment to honesty, responsiveness, and delivering on their promise is exactly why they've earned a place on Garth's approved vendor list.
"

I only refer vendors I would use myself. A SMART MOVE has earned that trust — move after move, client after client. They show up, they communicate, and they never cut corners. That is the standard I hold.

Common Questions

Got Questions?

Here's what Garth's clients typically ask before booking their move

How do I get Garth's Moving Guide and Vendor List?

Both are included when you submit the form on this page. Your coordinator will send the co-branded Moving Guide and Approved Vendor List shortly after — at no cost, no strings attached.

How is the VIP pricing applied?

Because you're on Garth's dedicated partner page, the WISE-VIP code is automatically identified and applied. No coupon codes to type — your coordinator confirms pricing in your agreement.

What if my closing date changes?

We're built for it. Your coordinator stays in sync with your escrow timeline and can flex your move date at no charge as availability allows. Book early to lock in the best slots.

Are your movers employees or contractors?

Every crew member is a W-2 employee — never a day-labor hire or contractor. All pass comprehensive background checks, substance screening, and identity verification.

Do you handle luxury and high-value items?

Yes. We regularly handle fine art, antiques, custom furniture, wine collections, and full estate-level moves across La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and all of San Diego County.

Do you offer packing services?

Absolutely — full-service, partial, and white-glove packout. Mention your interest in the form and we'll include it in your agreement.
