Santa Cruz County · Our home market
From the coast to the redwoods, this is home.
We live and work here, in Scotts Valley and the towns around it. Every sale in this county gets the same preparation, honesty and follow-through.
A county of very different markets, a few miles apart.
A beach house in Aptos, a family home in Scotts Valley and a cabin in Felton sell to different buyers, at different speeds, for different reasons. We price and market each one for the buyer it will actually attract, including the Silicon Valley buyers who drive much of our coastal demand.
