From Military Precision to Real Estate Excellence

Todd Armstrong's journey from military service to elite real estate consulting is a testament to his dedication, discipline, and commitment to excellence. Originally from Covington, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio, Todd began his distinguished Naval career in 1986 at the age of 17. He honed his technical expertise as an Aviation Electrician and Electronics Specialist, with his first duty station at NAS Cubi Point, Philippines. From there, he made his way to San Diego, serving at NAS Miramar, where he worked on one of the most iconic fighter jets in history — the F-14 Tomcat. Over the course of a 23-year military career, Todd completed multiple overseas deployments on three aircraft carriers, ultimately retiring in San Diego as a Senior Chief Petty Officer.

Following his military service, Todd continued to serve his country as a civilian contractor and Lead Field Engineer for General Atomics. As a Deployment Team Leader, he led missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, supporting combat operations with armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). His leadership played a critical role in global missions such as Operation Enduring Freedom and the Iraq War, where discretion, strategy, and precision were paramount.

Today, Todd applies these same principles of leadership, integrity, and discretion as a premier Real Estate Consultant with Compass. He serves as the National Director of the Compass Military Division and is a member of the exclusive Compass Sports & Entertainment Division. His unique military background allows him to provide trusted representation to a clientele that demands privacy, security, and strategic decision-making.

Todd's network extends across top brokers, agents, attorneys, and business managers, ensuring that each client's real estate goals are met with professionalism and care. His clientele includes high-profile figures in professional sports, music, and entertainment. Having worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, Todd understands the need for confidentiality, discretion, and white-glove service at every level.

His approach to real estate extends beyond simple transactions. Todd and his team offer comprehensive relocation services, assistance with short- and long-term leasing, vacation rental sourcing, and logistical support with packing, moving, and the transport of fine art and luxury automobiles. His clients benefit from his meticulous attention to detail, honed during decades of military service and elite private sector operations.

Adding to his extensive expertise, Todd recently earned a certification in Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management from Cornell University. This credential further expands his ability to provide sophisticated investment advice to his clientele.

If you’re looking for a real estate partner who values loyalty, discretion, and results-driven performance, Todd Armstrong is a trusted leader with a proven track record of excellence. Whether you're seeking a luxury estate, an investment property, or a private getaway, Todd brings the knowledge, connections, and precision you need to achieve your real estate goals.

Happy Clients.

Todd is the consummate professional. He acted as broker for the sale of my step-mother's condo in Mission Hills and the process was effortless and rapid. This was despite my residing out-of-state. I found Todd by calling all the high-end brokers in Mission Hills on a lovely Saturday morning. As a testament to his professionalism, he was the only one who was available on the phone. Todd assisted with every aspect of the sale, including some light remodeling, staging, and hosting an open house for brokers as well as buyers. He netted us $100k over other estimates and the whole process from start to finish took just a few months. I cannot make a higher recommendation. He's a pro.


We have bought and sold over ten homes over the years and Todd is by far the best agent we have ever worked with! We met Todd several years ago when we were toying with the idea of downsizing. Todd was patient with us over the years. He would occasionally send us information about properties we might be interested in and cultivated a relationship with us. When we were ready to downsize he was amazingly creative with ways to market our home. He works with an excellent group of professionals in a variety of fields he referred us to for everything we needed. We sold our home in less than a week for more than we expected! Todd then worked to help us find and purchase our dream home. The result was the most pleasant selling and buying experience we have ever had. We can most highly recommend Todd and his winning team to anyone buying or selling a home.

Can't say enough good things about Todd and his team. They were professional, responsive, respectful and most of all they listened. We were looking for a unicorn and they found it. It was tough enough looking for a home having moved from the East Coast. Throw in Covid 19 and at times it seemed daunting. But Todd and his team responded and we closed on our home 60 days after we stepped off the plane from Boston. We couldn't be happier. While we feel we have found our forever home, we also know that nothing is forever and if the need arises we won't hesitate to call Todd again.

Todd helped me sell my house in a month and a half. He helped me in preparing the house for sale, searching for the services and workers to fix what was needed and post it in the MLS. His photographer did wonders creating appealing pictures of every room, he brought a staging company that made the house look beautiful. Todd organized multiple open houses. We had so many people come by, I was surprised by the numbers. Many showed interest and brought friends. I would recommend Todd and his team for anything related to real estate.

Esther Moscano

When we met Todd, he had recently opened his office on Fort Stockton, in Mission Hills. We were impressed with the Compass real estate brokerage concept and numerous programs that were designed to help sellers. Todd impressed us because we felt that he believed in our home; and, he was willing to "push the envelope" regarding the listing price. His marketing strategy was superior to many others we have seen. His pictures, video/drone views and TV segments were very professional and truly showcased the house. Todd was an adept negotiator and was willing to take the necessary steps to insure that both the buyers and seller were happy with the final purchase price. We would highly recommend Todd Armstrong to anyone who is either buying or selling high end homes in Mission Hills.

San Diego's best realtor by far. He went way out of his way to assist me in purchasing real estate, posting it for rent and finding my new tenant. His knowledge of the area is phenomenal.
