I specialize in helping clients buy and sell residential properties throughout Santa Cruz County. I work as both a buyer's agent as well as a listing agent. I live by the beach in the Pleasure Point area and have happy clients and sales throughout all areas of Santa Cruz County and beyond. I work almost 100% by referral and word of mouth, with a goal of developing long term business relationships. If I do a great job for you, you are more likely to work with me again, and refer your friends, so it is a win-win for all of us!
With more than 22 years of real estate experience, I help buyers, sellers, and investors navigate every stage of the real estate journey with confidence. From luxury homes and inherited properties to fixer-uppers and investment opportunities, I bring extensive market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and proven strategies to help my clients achieve their goals. I am passionate about guiding first-time homebuyers through the process of homeownership and helping sellers maximize their property’s value through customized marketing and preparation plans. Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or facing a unique real estate situation, I provide personalized service, clear communication, and creative solutions tailored to your needs. My commitment is simple: to make the real estate process as smooth, successful, and stress-free as possible while delivering exceptional results and an outstanding client experience.

I build community. Whether it is rental property management of your home or commercial property, or helping you buy/sell your first home, the focus is on creating a more human and more integrated Santa Cruz. I provide incredible client communication and am there for you whenever you need me. With property management I guarantee you will have my personal attention to all aspects of your investment. I limit the number of rental properties I manage to 20 because I know, ABOVE that and your rental property is not receiving the management it deserves. There are numerous, horrible property management teams in Santa Cruz, who just take money and neglect your property. My "hands on" approach means you can rest easy your home and your tenants are the best that can be found. Santa Cruz has a certain personality and charm that I try to reflect with all my clients, making you feel incredibly welcome in the community, showing you around to excellent food and hiking spots, and in general helping you turn Santa Cruz into a home. My close friendships within the construction/carpentry/landscaping/painting industries will allow you to get started on making your home the way you want it to be, either with buying or your rental property.
