Jim was very patient — it took several months to conclude, and he was there every step. Transactions became much easier with Jim "on the ground," giving us his valuable opinion so we could make important decisions.
I have been a Real Estate Broker on the Monterey Peninsula for twenty years and a resident for twenty-nine. After studying at the University of Hawaii, I worked in travel industry management with Sheraton Hotels Hawaii — sharpening the discipline of customer service that has shaped every transaction since.
That dedication has translated into more than $700 million in sales and many happy customers. With proven expertise in pricing strategy, marketing collateral, and digital delivery, I work to exceed client expectations at every step. Together with Carmel Realty Company, my clients are backed by an advanced marketing team and a strong transaction department.
My wife and I have raised our family on the Peninsula. We know these streets, these schools, and these neighborhoods the way you only can after three decades — and that knowledge is what quietly compounds in my clients' favor.
Twenty-nine years on the Peninsula. The kind of context that doesn't show up in comps.
Strategic pricing, polished collateral, and digital delivery built to outperform.
Backed by the Peninsula's most established luxury brokerage, founded in 1913.

From the storybook cottages of Carmel-by-the-Sea to the championship fairways of Pebble Beach — each pocket has its own pace, its own clientele, and its own way of being lived in.
Cottages addressed by their corner — Scenic Road, 4 SW of Ocean. The Golden Rectangle, Carmel Point, Hatton Fields, and the village itself, where the marine layer rarely lifts before ten.
Explore the village
Gated estates inside the Del Monte Forest — Spyglass, MPCC, Country Club Gate, Spanish Bay. Championship fairways meeting the Pacific, and the Lodge anchoring it all.
Explore Pebble Beach
Where the fog burns off by ten and the temperature climbs ten degrees in a mile. Ranch estates, small vineyards, and the Quail — for clients ready to trade salt air for sunshine.
Explore the ValleyWhen coming to Pebble Beach for the first time, I thought what a beautiful place to be. Jim was very patient — it took several months to conclude, and he was there every step. As we became more familiar with the area, transactions became much easier with Jim "on the ground" giving us his valuable opinion so we could make important decisions.
Jim met all of our expectations and was very involved during the process. He had a family emergency and was out of town for two weeks, and he maintained daily contact with us and the sellers — we were never left in the dark with unanswered questions. I would definitely recommend Jim and will be using him if we decide to sell.
We appreciated Jim's skill set in marketing our property and giving us valued input throughout the negotiation process. He is a very good listener and understood where our values were while negotiating the best deal. As a professor of engineering, I know how important the details are — Jim has a thorough understanding of them.
As we move through the early months of 2026, the real estate market — both nationally and on the Monterey Peninsula — continues to navigate a dynamic and evolving landscape. Volatility in the financial markets, paired with uncertainty around interest rates, has led many buyers and sellers to proceed thoughtfully.
Despite these headwinds, our market remains grounded in long-term fundamentals. Many recognize the enduring value of owning property along this unique stretch of coastline. We continue to adapt alongside our clients — providing guidance through changing conditions while focusing on long-term opportunity.
Whether you're preparing to list, searching for the right home, or exploring a private opportunity on the Peninsula — Jim offers direct, tailored guidance from the first call.
