Found my dream real estate office in Paris.

Junot in Saint-Germain-des-Prés stopped me in my tracks—the architecture, the interior design, the branding, the restraint. We’ve been on the hunt for just the right space for Sea & Oak in Carmel, and this was such a good reminder of what I want it to feel like.

Warm, elevated, welcoming—and curated.

Junot, you’ve set the bar high! This one is definitely staying on the mood board.

Now, back to the hunt in Carmel. 🤍. .

PENDING 🤍

Built in 1996 and loved by one owner for nearly three decades, this San Benancio home is ready for its next chapter.

It was an honor to work alongside the family and trust to strategically refresh and prepare this special property for the market — honoring what had been cared for here while helping a new buyer see all that it could become.

With beautiful land, room to breathe, and so much possibility, we couldn’t be more excited for the new owners who will soon call it home.

Preparation. Presentation. Results.

One of our favorite Sea & Oak “conference rooms.” 🌊

Lobster rolls, incredible ocean views hanging over the cliffs, and plenty of conversation about new listings, buyer strategy, upcoming opportunities, and what we’re seeing across the Monterey Peninsula market.

Good food. Big views. Smart real estate.

Some transactions just hit differently. This one did. 🤍

Thrilled for our wonderful clients who secured this beautiful Toro Park home in a highly competitive market. Time was of the essence, and we were ready.

So many memories will be made here. It was truly a joy helping you find your way home.

A beautiful day, a friend’s birthday, and an excuse to go somewhere fun. 🤍

Stationæry in Carmel is always a good idea — beautiful food, beautiful setting, and one of my favorite spots to recommend.

You’ll also find the work we’re honored to do every day—guiding clients through some of life’s biggest decisions with clarity, discretion, and genuine care.

This is our lens.

At Sea & Oak, not every successful sale begins on the MLS. This home found its next owner through trusted relationships, strategic representation, and a discreet off-market connection. Grateful to have represented both sides in bringing the right people together.

Every transaction tells a different story.
This one never made it to the public market.
We had the privilege of representing both the buyers and sellers in a discreet off-market sale on one of the most desirable streets in Las Palmas II. Our buyers secured a home they had been searching for, while our sellers transitioned seamlessly into their next chapter.
Off-market opportunities aren’t created by chance. They come from trusted relationships, local market expertise, and thoughtful strategy.
At Sea & Oak, we believe exceptional representation isn’t measured by how many people see a property—it’s measured by the outcome we create for our clients.
Congratulations to our buyers and sellers, and thank you for your trust. It’s a privilege to guide clients through some of life’s most important decisions.
