hi, I’m Rob

I’ve lived in Santa Cruz County my entire life, and I’ve always appreciated the opportunity to spend time—and now build my career—in such a special place. This is home, and helping others buy, sell, or invest in our community is something I take great pride in.

Being a third-generation Santa Cruz County realtor, this industry has always been a part of my life. I’ve grown up in real estate and learned firsthand from my family’s experience what it takes to succeed with integrity and consistency.

My path to real estate

After earning my bachelor’s degree in Managerial Economics from UC Davis, I began my real estate career at David Lyng Real Estate, one of the top brokerages in the area. I’ve since partnered with The Draper Team at Community Real Estate, where I continue to grow and serve clients across Santa Cruz County.

Since starting my business in 2023, I’ve helped over 14 families and completed more than $12 million in real estate transactions. I’m proud of those numbers—but what means even more to me is the trust my clients place in me and the relationships we build along the way.

What you can expect when we work together

I value getting to know my clients and building lasting relationships. I believe that great service comes from clear communication, hard work, and always keeping your best interests at the center of every decision.

Whether you’re buying your first home, looking for a strategic investment, or ready to list your property for top dollar, my goal is simple:
To make the process smooth, straightforward, and successful.

My custom process for buying your dream home in Santa Cruz County

  • We’ll sit down and discuss your goals, must-haves in a home, budget, and timeline. I connect you with trusted local lenders to get pre-approved if you need a loan.

  • I find properties that fit your criteria (on and off-market), schedule showings, and break down the pros/cons of each home. Once we find a home that's a potential fit, we then take a hard look at the disclosures for the home to see if there are other things we need to consider.

  • When you're ready, I run comps and guide you in making a strong, smart offer. Then I negotiate on your behalf to get you the best terms.

  • I help you through the entire escrow timeline until we hand you the keys — making the process smooth and stress-free.
