Living downtown in Carmel-by-the-Sea
Carmel is not only a tourist destination, but a home for many people. Just ask them!
Our downtown residents are involved in a myriad of occupations – business, art, professional services, and those lucky people who are retired and just doing whatever their heart desires. This video was made as a reply to a comment someone said that not many local people lived downtown. These residents would beg to differ.

Memories of “Car Week” in Pebble Beach
At Carmel Realty Company we take treating our clients well very seriously. When I first speak with a client, I always tell them to consider me your realtor for life. I take relationships seriously as does the company I work for. Enter “Car Week” ! Always a delight for all and a chance to meet new friends and clients who want to learn more about our fabulous Monterey Peninsula.
This year Carmel Realty Company hosted two fabulous parties at oceanfront properties where guests could experience how amazing the lifestyle can be in this idyllic community.
Our Thursday night party during “Car Week” was held at Villa Eden del Mar on 17 Mile Drive, one of our amazing properties for sale. It was described in 1925 as “A Spanish Palace by the Sea” and has long been considered one of the most renowned homes on the Monterey Coast. Guests enjoyed Quintessa wine and delicious light bites from Grasing’s, one of Carmel’s finest restaurants.
How spectacular this was to be able to invite my guests to such a fabulous party!
Although the home was open for all to tour, guests seemed to linger on the back patio where the view of the Pacific Ocean was “to die for”. The weather was warm ~ everything was just about perfect.
Debbie and Walter, clients from Shreveport, LA, loved the party and the Pebble Beach lifestyle! They are looking forward to when they can move here. I think our party at this breath-taking location convinced anyone who was considering a move or having a second home here to take the steps!
No one had to convince me that night! I love the Monterey Peninsula lifestyle and still have to pinch myself – after living here 20 years – that I am just where I want to be – and it’s perfect!
Since parking was limited, Carmel Realty had arranged with Rolls Royce to have their amazing cars available to shuttle guests to their cars parked at another listing close by. Walter being a car buff loved checking out the Rolls. Thank you Rolls Royce!
I kind of liked checking out the fantastic cars, also. But I do prefer the convertible!
Thinking about having a place here? Call me and let’s chat. We have homes in all price ranges and I would love to help you find your dream home or getaway – just perfect for you!
