Growing up in Santa Cruz, being a local, provides you many benefits. We can share the communities history together, discuss pro's and cons of neighborhoods, property values, and more. As an experienced Listing agent I know the market areas, how the market is performing, and how to help you get the most with the sale of your home. In addition I have a lifetime of peer & vender connections. These relationships really make the difference in bringing a home to market. and getting it sold to that right buyer
Santa Cruz County is a very special place, with miles of coastline, Surf Breaks whether created on Reef's or Sand Bars, Waves are everywhere. We have a Mediterranean climate, with tree's to the sea, and a mountain range full of parks with trails for Mountain Bikes and Hikers, and even more preserved areas. The Santa Cruz Mountains naturally control the population growth. This is truly the only Northern California Beach town, a town to enjoy in so many ways.
I have a lifetime in business serving clients needs professionally. My early career for a dozen years was as an awarded Rep. in the Food Service Industry. That careers highlight was a company transfer to Truckee, Ca. where I sold and serviced large corporate accounts in the Casino Hotel, and Ski Resort industries, along with smaller private restaurants and lodges. The territory included North, West, & East Lake Tahoe. Which included working in Nevada & California, Truckee, and Soda Springs.
My second career grew from purchasing a small moving company in Santa Cruz, a direct vender to the Real Estate industry. Over 23 years it grew to a much larger corporation with a five company operation, which included distance Semi's rolling in 48 states. Health reasons from operating during the overly stressful economic downturn of 2008-11 forced me to retire again.
As I refresh this bio I have just shy of a dozen years as a real estate professional and awarded as a top professional for years. Still like always, I strive in the most knowledgeable understanding manner to make a clients dreams come true. I have a vast knowledge of construction, landscaping and contracts. Are you a buyer? a seller? for a home or an investment property? I do Exceed Expectations.
