One of the advantages of being a Real Estate agent is that anytime I meet people or am at a party, everyone is always curious how the market is and what their house may be worth. Any agent will always say NOW is the time to sell, however this statement has not been more true, then it is now. Carmel Valley last year saw very few properties sell over $2 million, this year has seen more $2 million and above properties sell. Pebble Beach, remains very active in the $2 million and under category, while Pacific Grove and Monterey continue to be on fire. We all know why the Monterey Peninsula is one of the best areas to live, but it seems like the rest of the world is starting to figure it out too.

New Local Developments Provide Diverse Options
Marina, Seaside and Sand City are emerging markets across the Monterey Peninsula that are thriving, bustling and booming. These are some of the fastest growing local markets and have so much to offer homebuyers in terms of design, features, investment and proximity to services. Many of our real estate agents are fully integrated into these communities and are proud residents in the area they are selling. This area has seen huge transformations, especially the former Fort Ord in Marina, which has transitioned from a decommissioned army post into an amazing community with a college, parks, trails and more new homes and services being constantly added.
Our agents are eager to share some of the most exciting and vibrant features of the community that are enhancing our already wonderful area with more options. These include biking on Fort Ord trails, enjoying newer Marina restaurants like Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette right next to the beach, or quick options like Blaze Pizza, Smash Burger and Dametra Fresh Mediterranean (also located in Carmel and Monterey), the upcoming Brass Tap brewpub, and more.

Charitable Giving
One of the reasons we are so happy to be a part of the Monterey Coast/Carmel Realty team is our ability to give back to the community. Each year the company and agents donate thousands of dollars to hundreds of local and national charities. It was once said, "the most selfish thing you can do is help someone else, because the joy and satisfaction you get from that help is true happiness." We are lucky that the Peninsula is a small community, because everyday we get to see the positive affect we ...
This year during the 2017 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am I was fortunate enough to "stand in" as Mark Wahlberg the Saturday of the tournament. Little known fact, is Mark and I are the same height and both left handed, as a result most spectators had no idea that Mark was not there. I had two goals for the day, the first was not to hit anyone with a golf ball, and the second not embarrass myself too much. Luckily, I succeeded on both fronts. I shot a fairly respectable 77, but had a once in a ...
