I have lived in Santa Cruz since 1991 and graduated from Harbor High School.
Prior to finding my true calling in real estate I worked in construction specializing in residential renovations. I did this for 8 years and during that time I gained a great insight into homes and their inherit problems.
In 2005 I moved to the Bay Area and obtained my real estate license. This was a natural fit for me due to my experience in contracting and the fact that I had been raised in Real Estate by my mother, Mary Margaretich who was always a top producing agent in Santa Cruz.
Almost immediately I became a top producing agent thanks to my work ethic and care for my clients. The next 6 years of my life were very interesting. I was able to help over 300 families achieve their dream of owning a home, I was actively involved in buying and flipping over 80 homes at the court house auction and also developed a skill for income producing properties. This was a fast paced time and I grew as a Realtor and a person. The biggest lesson I learned is, it doesn’t matter how much business you do if your clients don’t feel you took care of them like family. I strive to create raving fans!
Having grown up in Santa Cruz and Aptos, I have always felt that this area is home. In 2011 I was compelled to go back to my roots and move back to Santa Cruz.
After meeting with Chris Trapani and Ryan Iwanaga, hearing their vision and experiencing their culture, I knew this was the only place I could work. I immediately joined their team.
When I’m not working on real estate I almost always have to be outdoors. On my off time you will find me Boating, Wakeboarding, Dirt biking, Camping, Four wheeling, or snowboarding. I have a passion for life and want that to always come out whether its work or play.
