Monterey County · The Peninsula

Cypress, coast and country.

Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel, Carmel Highlands, Carmel Valley, Seaside and Marina. Second homes, primary homes and the estates in between, handled with the same care.

A peninsula of distinct neighborhoods.

Down Highway 1 from our Scotts Valley office; we tour the Peninsula weekly.

Carmel's cottages, the Highlands' ocean-view estates, Carmel Valley's sun and vineyards, and the newer neighborhoods of Seaside and Marina all attract different buyers. We market each for the buyer it will actually draw, often from Silicon Valley and out of state.
