BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY

Treating you my client with honesty, and integrity, along with clear and concise communication and respect is my number one goal. I understand that buying or selling a home involves big life decisions

and finances that are very important to you. With the support of Coldwell Banker, the number one real estate broker in Santa Cruz County and the Greater Bay area, I am well equipped to guide

you with honest, reliable, and assertive representation. Along with loving what I do for a living, you can trust that I will be doing everything possible to make your real estate transaction an easy and

satisfying one.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Having extensive experience in buying and selling homes in Santa Cruz County and having lived and worked in Santa Cruz for the last 40-plus years I have developed and am proud of the many long-lasting

relationship connections I have made with other agents, contractors, home inspectors, painters, landscapers, stagers, and all that goes with real estate. I especially find valuable the relationships I have made

with other Realtors as it's a small community where the Realtors who do most of the work know each other and this holds a lot of credibility in the marketing and presenting of your home as well as in the negotiation

processes. I particularly like negotiating and look forward to helping you with my abilities in that area of my expertise whether it's getting the highest price possible for your home or the best price possible for your purchase.

PERSONAL BACKGROUND

I was born in Hawaii and have lived all over the world as a young person including the Philippine Islands and England as my Dad was in the Air Force. This upbringing helped me see many different cultures, how to interact

with many types of people, and how vital communication is even if you can't speak the same language and that we are all the same. I developed a love for the ocean and all things ocean through my upbringing and

raising my kids at Pleasure Point where I have been very involved in the surfing community. I am very knowledgeable about all the different parts of Santa Cruz and the different aspects of each area including Scott's Valley and the Santa

Cruz Mountains. I especially like matching people just moving here with the right neighborhood, area, or beach. I also really enjoy helping people sell their homes as they prepare a move and all that goes with that since I have a lot of experience moving prior!
