How it works

A person, not just an algorithm.

Portal alerts send you everything that matches a filter. I send you what actually fits.

  1. You tell me what matters

    Areas, budget, timing, and the things a filter can’t capture, like light, quiet, or a short walk to the beach.

  2. I set up your search and watch it

    You get MLS alerts the moment something fits, and I flag the ones worth a closer look and the ones to skip, with a reason.

  3. You hear about homes early

    Through the Compass network I often hear about Coming Soon and off-market homes before they show up online. If one fits, you’ll know.

My take

Why I do it this way.

On the Peninsula, two homes at the same price can feel like different worlds: fog line vs. sun belt, a quiet lane vs. a busy cut-through. A filter can’t tell the difference. I can.

There’s no obligation. If you just want to see what’s out there for a while, that’s fine too.

I’m a Broker Associate at Compass in Carmel-by-the-Sea (DRE# 01980970), licensed since 2015, and I’ve been involved in nearly 1,000 transactions on the Monterey Peninsula.

Rather talk first?

Let’s narrow it down together.

A short call is often the fastest way to figure out which towns and neighborhoods fit how you want to live.
