I came to the United States from South America 36 years ago. My wife and I chose Santa Cruz, California, as a place that we wanted to raise our family. Now we know we made the right decision. Even though we have travelled extensively to the best destinations on the planet, we have not been able to find a place that we can think is better than Santa Cruz.
To me it is the Monte Carlo of the Pacific, without the Casino. The weather is unparalleled and even though the town is fairly small: 60,000 people in Santa Cruz, 260,000 in the whole County. Santa Cruz is very cosmopolitan. You will find people of many nationalities, with their languages and cultures, strolling down the Pacific Mall, tasting the exquisite variety of coffee blends and delicious foods while they browse the latest New York Best sellers or peruse ParisMatch, The London Times or Il Corriere Della Sera in your favorite local bookstores such as the unic Bookshop Santa Cruz, Borders and many others.
The University of California Santa Cruz and Cabrillo College, two wonderful institutions of higher learning are an additional bonus. You just have to come and see for yourself, and I haven't even mentioned the beaches, sea lions, sailboats, mountains, Redwoods, meadows, parks and open space, the incredible weather and the abundance of greenery and magnificent flowers... It's magical, even sublime sometimes.
I have been involved in different aspects of Real Estate through most of the past 35 years. I am an Economist by training and used to work in International Banking out of New York. I have also been a Financier and sometimes an Appraiser. I chose to become a Realtor 30 years ago and have been able to help a lot of buyers and sellers accomplish their Real Estate dreams. I have a lot of success stories to share with you and too many excellent references to even list here. However, if you want I could put you in touch with some of those happy clients. Just call me at 1-831-426-4541 or 1-831-818-3500.
Over the past 30 years I have sold over 2000 properties. I list and sell almost any kind of property, mostly residential, from inexpensive condos to luxurious and expensive homes.
"I sell happiness, one house at a time or by the square foot. If you wonder what is the price of happiness just talk to me, or email me, and I'll let you know."
Currently, I am with www.c21showcaserealestate.com and I work out of the living room of my beautiful English Tudor Style home on the Upper Westside with a creek and an ocean view. I hope to see you soon. Coffee and Tea are complimentary.
