Given the slim inventory around the holiday season, I haven't found a home worthy to make my Property Pick blog series for a few weeks. But that changed when I previewed 2990 Red Wolf Drive in Carmel. Across from Point Lobos, about 2 miles up from Hwy 1, you arrive at this tranquil gated 8 acre piece of paradise. Situated on one of the highest peaks on the Peninsula, this home effortlessly balances rustic and modern elements such as concrete, limestone, slate and reclaimed barn wood. Floor to ceiling windows take advantage of the most stunning and complete Ocean and coastline views I’ve ever seen. A perfect blending of architecture and surrounding natural beauty, this is for the buyer who wants a home not too far from Carmel-by-the-Sea, yet with the ability to truly get away from it all.
Listed by Sotheby’s International Realty, Canning Properties Group $5,950,000
Carmel-by-the-Sea is a longtime favorite destination for people from all over the country for a weekend visit (or longer) and has something that will create memories for everyone. Whether it's a romantic getaway, a girls' trip, a family affair or local stay-cation, if you're looking for a place with the perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment, you'll find it in our seaside village.
What's Changing About Real-Estate Commissions?
Dear Clients & Friends,
I want to address the National Association of REALTOR®s' recent settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit that has been in the news so much this year. One of the settlement terms is that the MLS will no longer allow for listing agents to make offers of compensation to buyer’s agents, which is how it has traditionally been handled. To comply with this settlement, the MLS removed all offers of buyer’s agent compensation as of Tuesday, August 13th.
Commissions always ...
Fourtané Jewelers Opens a Beautiful New Boutique
In late 2023 Fourtané Jewelers, owned by the Bonifas family, opened a second Carmel location just up the street on Ocean Avenue from their famous jewelry and watch salon in the historic Pine Inn. Known as a worldwide purveyor of rare vintage jewelry pieces and of the finest watch brands in the world, including Rolex, Patek Phillipe and Cartier, the new, two-story boutique focuses solely on jewelry. The Bonifas family also owns a Rolex Boutique in San Diego, which they are currently expanding.

The Tournament's Exciting Transformation
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Tournament Director and Monterey Peninsula Foundation CEO Steve John has played as an amateur in the legendary golf tournament nine times, and each time, his excitement never waned.
"It was truly a treasured invitation," he says. "It's impossible to play center fi eld in a professional baseball game, but you can be part of something special with the Pro-Am."
A mainstay of the Monterey Peninsula for almost 80 years, the tournament has been officially ...
It was the quintessential COVID sale.
I had been referred to potential buyers who were relocating to Carmel from Colorado. They were the type of buyers that could be successful in the crazy days of COVID. Decisive, ready and able. It was March, 2021 and a gorgeous four bedroom home on one of my favorite streets in Carmel Valley had just hit the market. I called my clients and the husband literally hoped on a flight the very next morning. He boarded a plane with only a cup of coffee in ...
