Helping people buy and sell Santa Cruz real estate is a privilege. From Capitola CA to Scotts Valley, beach homes to mountain properties, I recognize how special this community is, and why people live and own property here. When I started out in real estate, I was most passionate about turning over a new set of keys to my buyer or delivering a check to my seller. Over the years, I have grown to appreciate the intimate involvement I have as a REALTOR in the most important financial decision my clients will make. This is why I am honored when my clients refer me to their friends and family.
