Meet Team Ratcliffe
Integrity - Intelligence - Innovation
Originally hailing from Australia, I have called San Diego home for the past 37 years. My journey in real estate began while supporting my husband in his pastoral career. In the Midwest, I ventured into real estate as a general contractor, constructing numerous custom homes. Transitioning to the role of a loan officer before becoming a full-time realtor, I bring a wealth of diverse experiences to my clients.
My dedication to excellence extends beyond professional achievements. As a mother of two, including my son Michael, who has cerebral palsy, I understand the importance of perseverance and positivity in overcoming challenges. Michael’s role as Team Ratcliffe’s chauffeur and motivator embodies our commitment to inclusivity and unwavering enthusiasm.
My approach to real estate is rooted in integrity, hard work, and a deep understanding of the local market. By prioritizing client needs and embracing innovative solutions, I aim to set the standard for excellence today and into the future. With a majority of my business driven by referrals, I am grateful for the trust placed in me by the community.
As your full-service realtor, I am dedicated to providing superior service and ensuring a seamless experience throughout every transaction. With my expertise and passion for real estate, I am honored to be your agent of choice, guiding you through every step of your real estate journey.
My name is Maria-Esther Tapia Carson. I was born in Brawley, California but I was raised in Tijuana, Mexico. I grew up between two cultures and two languages. Therefore, I am biliterate in English and Spanish. I graduated from SDSU with a bachelor in Liberal Studies. I have been a teacher in the Chula Vista School District for more than thirty years. However, halfway through my education career, I found Real Estate and I fell in love with it. I have been in Real Estate for over 12 years. I enjoy the fact that just like in Education, I support and help families find their dream home where they can raise their children. In addition, I also help them sell their homes as part of the life cycle when is time to downsize or expand. I have been part of team Ratcliffe my whole Real Estate career and I feel proud of it. Pam has been my mentor and friend throughout all these years. I feel proud of my second career and I can honestly say that you will not find better service and better team than Team Ratcliffe.

Devin Swenson is a San Diego Realtor known for his analytical mindset, attention to detail, and genuine care for the people he represents. Before entering real estate, Devin spent several years working in construction, giving him valuable hands-on experience and a practical understanding of homes that he now brings to every transaction. Working alongside his grandmother, Pamela Ratcliffe, who brings more than 30 years of real estate experience, Devin combines generations of industry knowledge with a fresh perspective and strong work ethic. While Devin may be a young agent, don’t let his age fool you—since beginning his career, he has already successfully closed multiple transactions and continues to build a strong foundation in the business. Naturally analytical and precise, Devin takes tremendous pride in his work and cares deeply about getting things right, paying close attention to details that can make a meaningful difference for his clients. Whether buying or selling, he approaches every transaction with preparation, patience, honesty, and genuine care. Outside of real estate, Devin has a huge passion for cars and motorcycles—if it has an engine, there’s a pretty good chance he wants to talk about it. Above all, Devin believes in working hard, treating people right, and providing a level of service that builds relationships well beyond the transaction.
