A home on the coast you know

Buying or selling on the Central Coast is a different conversation than it is anywhere else — small inventory, fast comps, neighbors who've lived next door for forty years. We've worked these streets for more than 30 years and the same team handles every file from the first phone call to closing.

Meet the Team

A team of three, one office on the bay

Steve has worked on the Central Coast since 1978 — first running an exotic-plant shop in Baywood Park, then a real estate career that put him in the RE/MAX Hall of Fame before he opened Bear Valley. Dianne joined as his transaction coordinator in 2010, earned her real estate license in 2014, and was issued her broker's license in 2024. Wendy is the team's REALTOR. Every file moves through one of the three of us, start to close.
