I started in Santa Cruz County real estate in 2005 and became a licensed California broker in 2018. Along the way I've guided, reviewed, or overseen more than 2,000 closed transaction sides in Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay. As Managing Broker at KW Thrive Santa Cruz, every sale in our office crosses my desk, so I know what makes a sale succeed and what makes one fall apart. If you have a question about your home, ask me. I'll give you a straight answer.

Selling

There are important decisions to make when you sell: how to prepare your home, how to price it, how to respond to offers. I'll be with you for every one of them, with a clear recommendation and the reasons behind it. Together we'll get your home sold at the price, timing, and terms that work for your life.

Buying

The right home is out there, and my job is to help you recognize it. We'll look at every property honestly, from the sunny deck to the septic tank, so there are no surprises after you move in. When you write an offer, you'll do it with confidence.
