I was incredibly blessed to have been born and raised on the westside of Santa Cruz.  I have always had an infinity to homes, all shapes and sizes.  Just about every drive home included a cruise along West Cliff Drive, admiring the gorgeous homes and stunning ocean views.  After attending local schools, I made the move to Santa Clara County and enjoyed a successful career as an award winning sales representative at a Fortune 500 company.  This is where I honed my skills of building and nurturing long term relationships, communication and negotiating - as well as meeting my husband, Mark.  My client focused career included a role as Sales Director for American Golf at Seascape Golf Club.  Mark and I had a desire to be closer to family, the ocean, and the redwoods so we moved to Scotts Valley where we live with our furry baby, Madie.  We love to travel, warm water scuba dive, hike and spend time with Madie.  We also have a deep love for animals and support both the Santa Cruz and Monterey County SPCA.  I volunteer for the Magic Bullet Fund - an amazing organization that helps people who have made room in their homes and hearts for a canine companion, but do not have the financial resources to provide cancer treatment.  I am a certified First Time Home Buyer Specialist, certified Santa Cruz County Pro and certified Property Management Master.  Couldn't be more proud and excited to be a part of Sereno Group and their 1% For Good program.  The program provides agents the opportunity to donate 1% of their agent commissions to local community organizations.  Whether you are looking for your dream home, a fixer-upper or an investment property, I will do everything I can to make it happen - and as seamless as possible!  So please give me a call, let's meet and let me help guide you through your real estate needs.  I may live in Santa Cruz County but am still very active in real estate in Santa Clara County.  I can be reached at (831) 227-1268 or marti@serenogroup.com.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I look forward to talking with you!
