In more ways than one might expect, Erin Irvine’s career as a classical musician has endowed her with the attributes of a seasoned real estate professional — hard work, self-motivation, amiability, and marketing and advertising savvy to go with her mastery of social media. Add to that an artistic temperament with an eye for detail and design, and you have the perfect, personable agent for real est
ate buyers, sellers, and investors. Her professional experience includes being a lecturer at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the principal bassoonist with the Santa Cruz Symphony, and a teaching artist with El Sistema, a nonprofit that teaches music to children in underserved communities. This eclectic background reinforces Erin’s innate ability to serve the public with empathy and integrity. Driven by the same motivations in the real estate industry, Erin educates, guides, and serves her clients with patience and resolve. Though real estate can be serious, she conducts business with wit and humor to lighten the mood and put her clients at ease. With five years of experience in property management along with an eye for design, Erin is able to envision a house’s potential when advising her clients. She also has access to an expert consultant: her husband. He’s a homeowner, builder, and electrician who has taught her a lot about residential infrastructure. When she’s not buying or selling houses, playing bassoon, or volunteering in her community, Erin enjoys hiking, photography, and having a good laugh. Santa Cruz County is Erin’s personal paradise; she is grateful to have found her tranquil home among the redwoods.
