In my real estate business, I thrive on building genuine connections with my clients and making the home buying and selling process seamless, stress-free, and dare I even say — F-U-N!
Real estate isn’t just my career — it has always been in my DNA — whether I realized it or not.
At 16 years old, I found myself in the role of a landlord, long before “house hacking” was even a thing. In 1990 I was paying a $300 house payment for a 2 bedroom/2.5 bath condo in Carpinteria. I couldn’t afford that on my $6/hour after school job so I figured out how to rent the room out to an older co-worker. Managing that at such a young age gave me a firsthand look at the ins and outs of real estate, from handling tenants to understanding the value of a smart investment. Fast forward 30+ years, and that same condo (which I still own) now rents for $2,596/month—and that’s at under market value.
That early experience shaped the way I approach real estate today—not just as a transaction, but as an opportunity to build financial freedom, security, and the kind of future you want to create.
With years of experience and a deep understanding of the Central Coast market, I bring a strategic yet personal approach to every transaction. Whether it’s finding the perfect home, marketing a listing to get top dollar, or negotiating the best deal, I work tirelessly to make sure my clients achieve their real estate goals.
I believe in working smarter, not just harder. I stay ahead of the curve by leveraging cutting-edge marketing, social media, and strong local networks to bring buyers and sellers together. My work ethic is built on integrity, transparency, and a no-nonsense approach to getting things done. When you work with me, you get a dedicated advocate who is always in your corner, making sure no detail is overlooked.
Outside of real estate, I’m a lover of the ocean, community events, and soaking up everything that makes the Central Coast such a special place to live. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me enjoying a delicious meal somewhere (I’m a total foodie), spending time with my precious family, hiking a trail, or brainstorming and educating myself for creative new ways to help my clients win in this ever-changing market.
Buying, selling, or just curious about the market? Let’s chat! I’m here to grow with you every step of the way.
