Your Local Monte Sereno Realtor — 25 Years, One of the Smallest, Most Exclusive Markets in the Bay Area
Monte Sereno is one of California’s smallest and most private cities — and one of the markets I know best. With 25 years of experience and deep roots in this community (there’s even a street named after me, Seaborn Court), I help buyers and sellers navigate one of the tightest, most exclusive real estate markets in Silicon Valley. My focus is Monte Sereno estates from $3.5M to $9M.
Why Monte Sereno Needs a Specialist, Not a Generalist
With fewer than 1,000 homes in the entire city, Monte Sereno isn’t a market you learn overnight. Listings are infrequent, privacy is paramount, and many of the best opportunities never hit the open market. I’ve spent 25 years building relationships in this community — including personally purchasing and developing a subdivision project that today bears my name, Seaborn Court, off Highway 9.
Monte Sereno Real Estate Agent for Luxury Homes

For Monte Sereno Sellers
Discreet, High-Touch Marketing
Many Monte Sereno homeowners value privacy. I offer both traditional and off-market marketing strategies tailored to what makes sense for your property and your comfort level.
Downsizing Specialist
Many Monte Sereno properties sit on large, one-acre-plus lots. If you’re moving to something smaller, I personally handle the entire downsizing process — sorting belongings, staging, and coordinating help for hauling and garden refresh. Learn more.
Accurate Local Pricing
Monte Sereno’s low sales volume makes accurate pricing especially important. I bring real comparable data from a market I track closely, not a generic algorithm.
For Monte Sereno Buyers
Finding the right home in Monte Sereno often comes down to relationships and timing. I help buyers understand the different pockets of the city, from quiet cul-de-sacs to larger estate lots, and move quickly and competitively when the right property becomes available.
A Personal Connection to This Community
Monte Sereno isn’t just a market I work in — it’s a community I’ve helped shape. From the Seaborn Court development to two decades of sales throughout the city, I bring a level of local knowledge and personal investment that’s hard to match.
What Outside Agents Often Miss
The best realtor for Monte Sereno, CA is not simply the agent with the highest regional sales volume. Agents who work primarily in broader Silicon Valley markets may have limited familiarity with Monte Sereno’s specific parcel history, neighbor relationships, and the buyer profile that actually purchases in this city.
When a buyer’s agent calls with a serious offer, the listing agent’s ability to convey the property’s full story — its setting, its history, its potential — often affects how that offer is written and what the buyer is willing to pay. Representation by someone who genuinely knows the city creates a different kind of conversation.
