Meet Kim & Al
Two Perspectives. Complementary Strengths. One Commitment to Taking Exceptional Care of Our Clients.
For us, real estate is about more than houses. It’s about people, relationships and helping our clients make confident decisions during some of life’s biggest transitions.
 
Kim brings more than 15 years of residential real estate experience throughout Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay area. Having lived in Pleasure Point, La Selva Beach and Seacliff—and raised our family in Aptos—she combines deep local knowledge with a genuine connection to the communities we serve.
 
Known for her attention to detail and hands-on approach, Kim goes well beyond simply listing or finding a home. She helps sellers determine what to improve, what to leave alone and how to prepare and position their property for the market. For buyers, she looks beyond the beautiful photos to help identify the details, opportunities and potential concerns that really matter.
 
And Now, There Are Two of Us.
After more than three decades in business, sales and executive leadership, Al has joined Kim full-time in real estate.
 
Before making the transition, Al served as a Regional Vice President and General Manager with EKC Enterprises and previously as President and CEO of E-3 Systems. His career has centered around leadership, negotiation, strategic thinking, project management, problem-solving and building long-term client relationships.
 
Al holds a bachelor’s degree in Business with an emphasis in Accountancy from San Diego State University. Before beginning his business career, he served nearly eight years in the United States Navy as a Naval Aircrewman and Rescue Swimmer, including service in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
 
That combination of business, financial and leadership experience brings another valuable perspective to every real estate decision we help our clients make.
 
Better Together.
We each see things a little differently—and we consider that one of our greatest strengths.
 
Kim brings deep residential real estate experience, local market knowledge, creativity and an eye for design and property presentation. Al brings decades of business leadership, financial insight, negotiation and operational experience.
 
Together, we bring two perspectives to every important decision and two people personally invested in helping our clients succeed.
 
Whether you’re preparing a longtime family home for sale, searching for your next home, downsizing or simply wondering what your options are, our goal is simple:
 
You make the big decisions. We help take care of everything in between.
 
We’ve built our lives here, raised our three children here and are now proud grandparents of three. We understand that a home isn’t simply an investment—it’s where life happens.
 
That perspective shapes the way we approach real estate and, most importantly, the way we take care of our clients.

Love Your Home. Love Your Life.
Rave Reviews
"Kim is an outstanding realtor. She has helped me buy two houses and sell two houses. She has extreme attention to detail that is needed when preparing a house for sale and also good negotiation skills when she represented me as the buyer. She listens to the needs of the client and takes additional time to make sure everything goes smoothly. She is a delight to work with and she makes a stressful process fun. I would highly recommend Kim to be your realtor." -Client Testimonial
"My experience with Kim has been one of complete professional expertise with a sort of friendly kindness thrown in. I was no less than wishy-washy over years for looking at places and she never had a problem with my backing out or losing interest after engaging her. Finally, we found my dream home and she's steered it in for me. I couldn't be more grateful or recommend her more highly." - Client Testimonial
"Thanks to Kim, my husband and I now own our first home! She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. She made the whole home buying process straight forward, and we felt comfortable every step of the way. She kept us on schedule through our short timeline and answered all of our questions. She helped connect us to lenders and inspectors in a very timely manner. We would recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell their home." -Client Testimonial
