Hey, I'm Shaye Carter!
I live in Live Oak, I work in Santa Cruz, and I absolutely love what I do.
Here's my story
I grew up around real estate and eventually made it my career because I genuinely love helping people navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. I live in Live Oak with my family, which means I'm not just selling Santa Cruz, I'm invested in it.
I'm also a licensed Mortgage Loan Officer. That dual license is a real advantage for my clients, especially sellers who need to coordinate buying their next home at the same time. No juggling multiple people. No dropped balls. Just one person who knows the full picture.
My approach to selling homes
Most sellers leave money on the table because they price wrong, market poorly, or pick the wrong agent. I've built my business around fixing that.
- Hyper-local pricing strategy. I know what Live Oak, Pleasure Point, and the Westside are actually selling for right now, not just what Zillow thinks.
- Professional marketing that attracts real buyers. Photography, staging guidance, social media, and targeted outreach to the buyers who are actively looking in your neighborhood.
- Buy-before-you-sell solutions. My dual license means I can structure your transaction so you don't have to choose between selling first and buying first.
- Transparent communication. You'll always know where things stand. No surprises, no radio silence, no runaround.
