It was always our goal to open our own real estate brokerage firm. This was finally realized, April 2007, when we opened Indigo Beach Properties, Inc. in Santa Cruz.

Paula began her real estate career in 1992, I joined her in 2000. Now, our son, Chaffee, joined us with two additional agents, John Stevenson and Becky Herry.

What an incredibly rewarding adventure this has been and continues to be. We love what we do and have made a lot of friends in the process.

We love our beach office at the corner of 15th Avenue and East Cliff Drive. This is a terrific location for us and for our clients and friends. Of course, Maury Sampson, a long-time local real estate broker who built the office in the early 1950's knew this. He developed a substantial real estate business from this location and his office, selling many properties in the area several times over.

He was fond of saying about his cherished, landmark real estate office, "there's magic in this building!". Thank you Maury, we believe the same! There is magic in this building!

There's magic in the yard as well. A big shout-out to Lesley Grainger for her hard work and dedication making the landscaping spectacular and beautiful. What we love about Lesley is that she just gets in and gets it done and in all seasons, the landscaping looks terrific.

We love working out of our office at the beach. Centrally located, we can be to the West Side as well as La Selva Beach in minutes.

Stop by, drop in anytime!

After a few years, the landscaping is looking great thanks to Lesley Grainger.

Thank you Lesley for all the hard work on the landscaping.
