Welcome
Thank you for visiting. I created this web site for buyers, sellers and residents of Rincon Valley. My goal is to create a site that is interesting, current, and relevant to Rincon Valley real estate. I hope you enjoy your visit, and encourage you to add this site to your Favorites list so you can use it as a local Rincon Valley reference guide.
I've added a few links that I'm quite excited about. To the left you'll find a link to My Blog. Click on it and you'll find a number of interesting topics that you're welcome to comment on or add to.
I also added an Event Calender which is a completely unique to my site. I've scoured numerous activity magazines and compiled them all onto one event calender.
Sellers, please click on the For Sellers link above to see how I market my listings. I believe in maximum exposure through advertising sells my listings faster and for a better price.
I provide free staging for my vacant listings, and have extensive experience with 1031 exchanges, probate, and tenant occupied properties.
"Your Rincon Valley Realtor:" People ask me why I call myself "your Rincon Valley Realtor." I've lived in Rincon Valley for almost 15 years. I bought my first townhouse in Rincon Valley in 1994. I then bought a single family home in Rincon Valley, and later acquired a rental unit, also in Rincon Valley. My two kids go to two different Rincon Valley schools which has provided me with a huge group of social contacts with whom I talk to on a daily basis. I believe it is this source of friends and neighbors that has allowed me to succeed as a Realtor in Rincon Valley, by bringing buyers and sellers together.
Rincon Valley has so much to offer. Great local shopping centers like Sky Hawk Village, Montecito and Saint Francis Shopping Centers; restaurants like Rita's, Union Hotel, Robertos, and Cafe Europe; specialty stores like Carter's Rincon Valley Feed Store, Rincon Valley Yard & Garden, Rincon Cyclery and much much more.
