As a California licensed Real Estate professional that services all of the Santa Cruz County, my goal is to assist you with your real estate needs. I strongly believe that the most important thing in life is helping families have a home that they can enjoy, raise their families, and build security. To maintain these essential aspects of life, we have educated ourselves on the available options to help homeowners like you avoid foreclosure and find ways to start over with a new beginning and a hopeful future. Our team is informed, compassionate, professional, and ready to work with you to make sure your dream doesn't slip away.

Know that you are not alone.  We care and we want to help.  Many families in our area are facing difficult times with strained economic conditions.

WHY US?  WHY ARE WE BETTER?

Santa Cruz County Seller’s agents, no matter how many years they have, are not up-to-date with the short sale process, generally closing only 2 short-sale transactions a year and rarely do they stay on top of how the process is always changing.  They throw stuff against the wall and pray something will stick. That is why there is such a high percentage of failure and while their deals are 9 months or more in .

Most of the local agents detest the time and effort required to secure the approval for the short sale from the servicer and lender and that hampers their success rate. They are not a solution provider for a homeowner on the verge of an emotional breakdown and grasp the current propensities of schizophrenic lenders. This team is eager and proud of our 21 successful closings.  

Most Brokers don’t have specific short sale systems in place and are focused exclusively on retail.  We started our program 18 months ago, while other Santa Cruz County real estate agents said Short-Sales would never happen here.
