Why I sell this coast

I moved to Jan Juc for the waves in 2012 and never left. Most of my buyers are doing the same thing: trading the city for space, salt air and a better weekend.

That means I know exactly what they’re looking for, and what makes them pay more for it. It’s rarely the kitchen. It’s the light, the walk to the beach and the feeling at 5pm on a Friday.

How I price

Coastal markets swing with the seasons, so I price on recent sales, not on last summer’s hype. Every appraisal shows the sales I used, side by side with yours.

If your home needs work to sell well, I’ll tell you which jobs pay off and which don’t. Then I’ll call you every Friday until it’s sold.

How I sell

What working with me looks like

  • One-page plan

    Price, method, marketing, timeline and fees, on one page, before you sign anything.

  • Friday call

    Every week until it’s sold: inspection numbers, what buyers said, and my honest read.

  • Trades on call

    Painters, gardeners, cleaners and a stylist I trust, booked and managed for you.

  • Hard negotiation

    I know who else is looking and what they’ve offered on other homes. That’s leverage, and I use it.

What sellers say once the sign comes down

Ava priced our Jan Juc shack honestly when two other agents were promising the moon. It sold in 16 days, above the guide, and we got a call every Friday along the way.
