Welcome! Don and Leslie have been full time Realtors in Ventura County for over 30 years. It's been fun watching as "little" Victoria Avenue (and many other streets) have morphed into what they are today.
Just as our local communities have evolved, we've seriously considered for the past several years how we could someday "give back" and "finish well" - expressions that can mean a lot of things to different people.
As part of our research into opportunities for service, in early 2013 we contacted a Peace Corps recruiter who helped us start our journey. But our new path wasn't going to be as straight and easy as we thought! And so we began a transition into something completely different from the routines we've known for the past 30 years - and have begun a path that's leading into the exciting unknown. This will be our story!

With so much doom and gloom out there nationally, it’s interesting to see what’s happening locally. A good leading indicator is: How many people actually put their hard earned money on the line and made an offer that was accepted?
Each month, we’ll be watching pending home sales. January shows a decline in 2007 for Camarillo and Ventura, but the February spreadsheet shows very robust gains in Oxnard, strong gains in Ventura, but a decline in Camarillo.
Generally, escrows opened in January are for those folks who’ve maybe been looking over the holidays, thus lower numbers. But after the holidays in January, it appears buyers have been coming into the market. Will the trend continue? We’ll see!
