About Winston Bodkin Founder & COO, CASITA ADU | Real Estate Developer | Sustainability Advocate I’m Winston Bodkin, Founder and COO of CASITA ADU. My journey into ADU development and real estate stems from a blend of entrepreneurial spirit and a deep connection to community growth and sustainability. Before launching CASITA ADU, I wore many hats—working as an armored truck driver, limo and Uber driver, security guard, and hotel front-desk clerk—each role honing my client-first mindset, operational savvy, and ability to adapt under pressure. At CASITA ADU, I lead both sales and operations, focusing on clear communication, seamless project execution, and exceptional client experiences. My mission? To make accessory dwelling unit (ADU) projects simple, stress-free, and transformative for homeowners. Beyond real estate, I’m deeply committed to environmental stewardship. I founded Casa Natura Conservation to protect and sustain ecosystems in Panama—starting in La Mesa de San Martín, where I grew up. It’s a project close to my heart and a core part of my long-term vision for impact.

About Sondra Hooley Licensed Real Estate Agent | SRES Certified | San Diego Native With deep roots in San Diego, I’ve spent my life serving and supporting this community. Before entering real estate, I dedicated 25 years to law enforcement, an experience that shaped my calm, patient approach and strengthened my commitment to helping others. Since becoming a licensed real estate agent in 2007, I’ve helped clients navigate everything from first-time home purchases to investment properties, short sales, and foreclosures. I'm also a certified Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), uniquely equipped to support aging homeowners and their families. Through ample professional and personal experience, I've developed a deep understanding for ADA regulations and the needs for those that are disabled. Real estate is more than a career for me—it's personal. My family and I have bought, renovated, and sold homes throughout San Diego, and that journey taught me the power of real estate to build long-term financial freedom. I bring that same passion and purpose to every client I serve, with the goal of making the path to homeownership clear, rewarding, and empowering.
