Before Dorene joined forces in real estate with Dave in 2021, she had a dynamic career in domestic/international sales, supply chain, and manufacturing. The skills required to take a product from design to retail shelves have been extremely valuable to her in the logistics of preparing homes for sale and negotiating contracts. Her organizational, leadership, and interpersonal skills benefit all parties involved in her transactions. A Google Review from a real estate client reiterates this "Dorene was hands-on with all of the detailed preparation of the house and gave crucial advice on what was most important for prospective buyers. She is a superb project manager and kept her team of specialists on track and on time.
Dave and Dorene have been married since 1990. Dave was the owner/operator of Harbor Marine, a boutique boatyard and chandlery at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor, for 24 years. Dorene developed marketing and managed accounts receivable for 14 of those years. They grew to a family of six before leaving the boating industry in 2004. Four months later, Dave became a licensed real estate agent and began helping the Santa Cruz County community buy and sell their homes. In his many years of real estate experience he has over 300 solo transactions. There are virtually no questions that he can't answer or his network of professionals can’t answer. Dave is a connector and a closer.
The best real estate decisions are made with the benefit of experience and perspective. Dave has been in business in Santa Cruz since 1981. In addition to real estate, he has professional experience in banking, economics, accounting, and small business management. His unique understanding of real estate is complimented by the extensive network of business and governmental contacts he has developed over many years. He is relentless and thorough in both negotiating contracts and solving problems. He has done this with great success for over forty years over several fields of business. In a Google Review, one client wrote about Dave, stating, "Dave's charismatic and calm personality makes him a perfect negotiator, and he has a way of smoothing out difficult obstacles that is uncanny."
