Known for family-friendly amenities and golf communities, this neighborhood appeals to both retirees and growing families.

3. Sutter Creek Vineyards Area
Surrounded by wineries, this area draws lifestyle buyers seeking scenic views and vacation-home potential.

By listing your home with me, you will receive the most for your home possible. I grew up in Wyoming, and before I became an agent, I worked as a loan processor for Pinnacle Bank. I later moved to the Black Hills, where I purchased a log home just a couple miles from Mt. Rushmore. As a homeowner, I understand the challenges buyers face—especially single buyers navigating the emotional process of divorce. My family were property managers who repaired, replaced, and flipped homes. With my background in loans, I also sold mortgage loans in the Black Hills before becoming a Buyer’s Agent in Hill City, SD in 2005. I then sold real estate in Rapid City, South Dakota until I moved to California.
