Just SOLD! ...🏡 They had 90 days… or they would lose $150,000.

More than two years ago, I met a wonderful family who had moved to the United States to build their careers and their future. Their dream was simple — to own their first home. But like many first-time buyers in California, saving for a down payment felt like the biggest obstacle. Then an opportunity appeared. The California Housing Finance Agency Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program opened — offering up to $150,000 in down payment assistance through a lottery system. They entered.... They didn’t get selected.

But we didn’t give up.

Months later, unused vouchers were returned to the program… and suddenly they received a $150,000 voucher. That’s when the real pressure started. Once selected, buyers have only 90 days to get into contract on a home or the voucher disappears. At the same time, my client had just purchased a business — and to qualify for a mortgage we needed a full year of business tax returns.

Fortunately, we were working with an incredible lender, Jean Adams from CrossCountry Mortgage, who found a way to extend the deadline. Our new timeline brought us to December… and then the perfect opportunity appeared.

📍 40 Cathy Lane, Scotts Valley
A beautiful 3 bed, 2 bath single-level home on a quiet cul-de-sac.

We went into contract December 19th with a longer escrow that the sellers graciously agreed to. Then another twist. We were ready to file taxes January 1st…only to discover the IRS forms we needed had not yet been released. We had to wait until February 15th.

Through constant communication, patience from the sellers, and incredible work from our lender…

✨ We closed on March 4th.

Today this amazing family is first-generation homeowners in the United States, beginning a new chapter of building memories — and generational wealth. Moments like this remind me why I love what I do.
If you are thinking about buying a home in the next few months.. couple of years. Let’s create a plan.
Your dream of homeownership may be closer than you think.

I’m incredibly honored and grateful to share that I’ve been recognized as a Top 10% Producing Agent for 2025 at David Lyng Real Estate.

Awards are beautiful, but what they truly represent to me is trust.

Trust from my clients during some of the biggest moments of their lives.
Trust from friends and family who continue to refer me to the people they care about most.
Trust that allows me to build not just transactions — but lifelong relationships.

This career wasn’t part of my original plan. I chose it.

I walked away from a successful global tech career to follow a passion for homes, design, and helping people — right as the world shut down during COVID. Starting from scratch wasn’t easy. But I committed fully, learned every day, worked every weekend, and focused on one thing above all else: taking exceptional care of my clients.

Today, the thing I’m proudest of isn’t the award. It’s that my business is built on relationships, repeat clients, and referrals. There is no greater compliment than when someone trusts me with their family and friends.

I’m also deeply grateful to David Lyng Real Estate — a company that truly supports its agents — and to my wonderful colleagues who create an environment I genuinely enjoy being part of every day.

And to my clients, friends, and family: thank you. Your support, trust, and encouragement mean everything to me. I love what I do, and I feel incredibly lucky to do it in the community I call home.

This is just the beginning. 🤍

Still thinking about this incredible off-market success story at 24 Pasatiempo Drive — and I’m so touched by the words these wonderful clients shared about their experience!

They came to us with a very detailed wish list — single-level living, privacy, walking distance to the clubhouse, and not directly on the golf course — and fully expected that we might only find a few of those features. But then this off-market gem appeared, checking every single box… and more. 💫
From the moment I previewed the home, I knew it was something truly special — a perfect blend of smart design, sustainability, and artistry. Helping them secure it before it ever hit the market was incredibly rewarding.
Grateful beyond words for amazing clients like Janae and Mark who make what I do so fulfilling. 💙

👉 If you’d like to learn more about exclusive or off-market opportunities in Santa Cruz, I’d love to help you find your perfect match too.
