With a combined 50+ years of real estate experience David and Marlene have been given many accolades by the companies for whom they have worked and their agents.

Marlene has held both broker-agent and management positions at several large real estate concerns in the Santa Ynez Valley. David and Marlene's professionalism among their peers and many satisfied clients has rewarded them with referral and repeat business which is the best true measure of how they "take care of business.".

David and Marlene fell in love with the Santa Ynez Valley in the mid 70's and worked together to achieve their goal of moving here. They were convinced it was the best place to live and raise their children in a beautiful and caring atmosphere where "help your neighbor" is a way of life. They learned the valley by riding their children around on the back of their bikes before they were big enough to cycle alone. It gave them a tremendous insight into the out of the way places and a "grass roots" education on the valley environment and their neighbors.

They continue that communication today by sending out a bi-monthly letter that includes information about real estate offerings in the Valley, schools, basically what's going on here. They say, "It's the things you learn after you have lived here. It helps people get a feel for what we're about and what life is the Valley is like. The biggest problem is getting them to give it up after they've purchased. Some of their clients have been on the list for years."

Active in community affairs David and Marlene have long been supportive of valley youth groups. David has been a community soccer coach, baseball coach and an assistant coach for the Santa Ynez High School varsity girls' soccer team. Today David continues his support for the community as an active member of the Vikings.

Expertise, Integrity and the Commitment and the desire to do the job well make David and Marlene your best choice when looking for an individual or a team to trust with one of your most important decisions.
