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.
New for 2012
I made a New Years resolution to offer 4.5% listing commissions to home sellers in the Rincon Valley area (95409) through 2012. For more information on why I am offering this service, and what types of Rincon Valley homes qualify, go to: Working smarter, or call me
"Your Rincon Valley Realtor:" People ask me why I call myself "your Rincon Valley Realtor." I've lived in Rincon Valley for almost 20 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.
