About Adelaida

A luxury market expert specializing in multimillion-dollar properties, Adelaida Mejia has lived in San Francisco since 1976. She graduated from the University of San Francisco (BFA in Design) and California College of the Arts (MFA in Design). In the past 25+ years as an entrepreneur, Adelaida partnered with leaders to help them achieve substantial business growth using her experience anchored in Design Research.

Adelaida's relationship to design is one part of the equation. She got the business acumen from her grandfather, a stockbroker, and her father, South America's regional sales director of a large European corporation. Her family's international cultural experiences complement her global connections, but San Francisco, where her children were born and raised, stole her heart. 

As her client Teresa noted, Adelaida creates opportunities and delivers meaningful results and resources. "Working with Adelaida is amazing. Her attention to every detail and her discerning eye for beauty are combined with a highly professional approach, making all aspects of the selling or buying process smooth and transparent. Adelaida helped us sell our homes in Nob Hill and Alamo Square over the asking price and buy our beloved Cole Valley House."

Dedicated to upholding high standards, professionalism, and attention to detail, Adelaida demonstrates the results of her work through her rigorous research, strategic pricing, and cultivating a positive attitude. Her client, Odette, highlighted, "I cannot think of anyone more experienced in Bay Area real estate than Adelaida. Her knowledge is deep. But that's not her superpower. It's her commitment and honesty, and appreciation of design that sets her apart. She is there for you through the entire process, always ready to advise and negotiate on your behalf to get the best deal."

Adelaida's clients also benefit from the goodwill of her relationships with her colleagues in the real estate community. Her client Geoff speaks about his experience, "Having bought and sold more than a few properties over the years in New York, Vermont, and San Francisco, I wholeheartedly recommend Lala Mejia without reservation. She is transparent, works extremely hard, understands the vagaries of the San Francisco market like no other agent I've met, and is focused on her clients' best interests."

The proof is in the pudding, as her client, Susan, observed, "Adelaida is a one-of-a-kind Realtor®. She is very well connected and knows the San Francisco market like the back of her hand. She is easy to work with and makes buying a home in a difficult - and very competitive market easy. I highly recommend her. I hold her standards up to others in different markets, and no one has come close to her successful work."

In her real estate practice, Adelaida Mejia stands out for her hand-glove approach, expertly uniting remarkable individuals with outstanding properties. Design Research guides her definitive human-centered strategy of putting people at the center of her business. Real estate isn't only about buildings and paperwork, she says; it's about people.
