REALTOR® · Nevada County

Rooted in the Foothills, Driven by Results

Before real estate, Steve spent decades shaping young minds as a middle school teacher, served his country as a veteran, and brought joy to Nevada City families as a local toy store owner. That's three careers built entirely on trust, community, and showing up for people — and he brings all of it to every transaction.

Steve knows Nevada County like the back of his hand. From the historic streets of Nevada City to the quiet acreage of Penn Valley, the lakeside communities of Lake Wildwood and Lake of the Pines, and the forested ridges of Alta Sierra — he's not just selling homes here, he's been living this community for decades.

Whether you're buying your first foothill home or ready to sell, you'll get honest guidance from someone who genuinely cares about where you end up — and who knows every corner of this county.
