40 year Monterey Peninsula real estate veteran Lynda Nichols has crafted a team of local real estate professionals designed to compliment each other's strengths and more importantly offer their clients unparalleled professional real estate services with a small town personal touch. The combination of an experienced long standing real estate professional, a internet savvy 14 year corporate sales and marketing manager and a full time client care manager brings more to the table when it comes time to prepare your home for sale and expose it to thousands of potential buyers. After all, there are only two reasons your house doesn't sell, either the price is too high or it didn't receive enough exposure to find the right buyer.
Whether looking for your primary residence or a weekend hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the bay area, Lynda's team is well prepared to find you the perfect home that meets both your emotional and physical needs as well as your financial requirements.
Please call, email or stop by our office at 501 Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove and ask for Lynda, Mark, Jeff or Teresa to experience all we have to offer to you during the process of buying or selling your next home.
Here is a short video about the Monterey Peninsula Home Team and what our clients have to say about working with us.
There are two areas we like to think we excel in that allow us to better serve our clients. We are exceptional listeners and we are extremely good at marketing your home.
Lynda has 40 years of local Monterey Peninsula real estate experience! Over the years she has continually performed in the top 5% of all realtors in the business and has earned the long term loyalty of her clients. You do not become a long term success in this business without being able to listen to your clients needs, whether they are buyers or sellers, and deliver on their wants and needs.
Mark honed his listening skills while working in the corporate world for 14 yeas prior to taking up real estate. He worked in the mobile electronics field as a product development team leader, a regional sales manager, national sales manager and a managing director in a public company. He managed over 150 sales people in the field all over the country as well as drove product development teams all over the globe. This experience has given him the tools necessary to negotiate on his clients behalf and deliver their wants and needs time and time again.
From a marketing standpoint, we like to stand out from the crowd with exceptional photography and cutting edge video productions of our listings. We take all of our own photography. This allows us to come back on the right day to capture each home in its best light. It is not uncommon for us to visit a home three or four times just to capture the right lighting to get the shot we want. Compare that to a photographer that is hired to take 9 quality photos and makes an appointment at 12:00 noon. If its foggy that day, guess what...you get gloomy, dark pictures. The weather on the Monterey Peninsula is truly unpredictable. There are dozens of micro climates and catching a property at the right time is as much luck as it is skill. You always have to go back more than once!
We recognize that almost every buyer for one of our listings in the past three years learned about the property they ended up purchasing online before they ever spoke to their real estate agent. We like to give this buyer every bit of information possible in order to get them comfortable enough with our listings to want to make the next step and see it in person. We load as many pictures as neccessary to tell the story of a property and most of the time dedicate an entire custom website to that property, again with a real video production of it.

| We highly recommend the Monterey Peninsula Home Team. Mark Bruno was incredibly responsive and flexible. He has in-depth knowledge of every corner of the area, from neighborhoods to architecture. His team including Joe, Jeff, Teresa and Nichole worked together seamlessly, giving us confidence throughout the entire purchase process. Bonus points for Nicole who ensured all documentation was completed on time and for Mark's snazzy vehicle. |

| Jeff Davi is THE person you want to sell your commercial property! He and his team go WAY above and beyond the call of duty. They spent a lot of time and even their own money to put together the best listing for our sale. We highly recommend Jeff and his team for your real estate needs. |

| Mark, Teresa and Nicole are the most wonderful people to help with the purchase process. Mark spent his time showing us all the areas around Monterey, Pebble Beach and PG and explaining all the hidden wonders of each area. Teresa was always there to help with any questions or issues that arose with the paperwork. Nicole made sure everything was in the correct order. They are wonderful people and great friends from now on. |

| I am writing to express my strong recommendation for the Monterey Peninsula Home Team, particularly highlighting the exceptional services of our main real estate agent, Mark Bruno, his wife Teresa and Nicole, who managed all our paperwork. Our experience of purchasing a condo in Pebble Beach was made remarkably smooth and stress-free, thanks to their combined efforts. From the beginning, Mark's expertise and understanding of the Pebble Beach real estate market were evident. He guided us through the selection process with patience and an acute attention to our needs and preferences. What truly set this team apart was their meticulous attention to every detail. They were always available to answer our questions, no matter how trivial, and provided us with comprehensive information and updates throughout the entire process. This level of dedication and professionalism greatly contributed to our confidence and comfort during what is often a stressful decision-making process. Moreover, the administrative aspects with the volume of paperwork, often the most cumbersome in real estate transactions, were handled with exceptional efficiency and accuracy by Nicole. Her proficiency in managing the paperwork ensured that all our transactions were completed without any hitches, and well within the timelines. In conclusion, the Monterey Peninsula Home Team, led by Mark Bruno, embodies the pinnacle of professionalism, knowledge, and customer service in real estate. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase property in the area. Their commitment to their clients and their craft is truly commendable and sets a high standard in the real estate industry. |

| Jeff Davi and his team are fabulous real estate professionals. I have been working with the Monterey Peninsula Home Team for the last several transactions and would certainly use them again and again, should I be fortunate enough to acquire another property. I highly recommend Jeff Davi and Monterey Peninsula Home Team. They work hard for their clients and make the process as easy as possible. In my opinion they go above that we have come to expect in this day and age. Thank you all for your help. |

| Exactly 37 days from signed listing to SOLD! When Jeff Davi is your Realtor, you are one lucky person! Jeff’s real work started over 15 months before I signed the listing, when I called him and asked for help. Can I ever really thank him for the million and one kind things he did for me? Probably not, but I will try! I had a big mess on my hands, but with Jeff's help, patience, and love, this transaction was a TOTAL success from beginning to end. Many thanks to the whole team - Teresa and Nicole, the escrow folks at Chicago Title, Gerry Wiles and Lynn Pace, and of course, one of my most favorite people on earth, Mr. Jeff Davi! The whole experience was exceptional on every level! Thank you, Jeff Davi! |

| We have bought and sold 17 homes over our life, and, by far, the MP team was our best experience. They truly understand what it means to put the customer first. A special praise for Mark from two examples. We were preparing an offer, agreed on a number, then Mark did further analysis and came back to recommend we not go that high. His second heroics was "calming the waters" when our financing unexpectedly went off the rails, and he kept our deal alive until that error could be corrected. And for every property we viewed, we got a candid "pros and cons" of the property, instead of sugar coating any weak aspects. and what a great sense of humor this guy has. and the support team communicates well and effectively and never dropped the ball. I recommend this team wholeheartedly. |

| Mark Bruno and the Monterey Peninsula Home Team are the best! We had a tight time frame to purchase a home on a weekend. Mark had set up all the appointments in a timely manner and we worked like crazy on day one to get in 12 houses! We made an offer at the end of the first day but it fell through, needless to say by day two we had a home! Throughout the process Mark was informative, professional, friendly and helpful going over and above expectations. He and his wifeTeresa (also works for Monterey Peninsula Home Team) are so nice we consider them friends for life. |

| I highly recommend Mark and everyone at Monterey Peninsula Home Team. Although timing is important, Mark was able to find us our home very quickly. He understood our requirements and worked with us to find our home and we’ve been looking for over 4 years. I’m finally in a home and making upgrades to my own home and not to some rental! Thanks! |

| We highly recommend the Monterey team. Lynda and Jeff were very personable with us. They sold a complicated property in Carmel and made in seem easy. They sold it in a timely manor for a fair price. Great job! Thanks again |

| Anthony Davi and his team helped us close on a very complex and lengthy short sale home. Although it had several issues, we moved forward and could not be happier. Anthony worked hard, long and expertly on our purchase and we are very appreciative that we had such a great guy to work with. |

| I serve as a federal bankruptcy trustee for the U.S. Department of Justice. Recently, your firm assisted us in the liquidation of a house that was an asset of a bankrupt estate. We are very grateful for the significant attention and effort that Jeff Davi, Teresa Bruno, and your staff expended to complete the sale. They were professional and conscientious and kept us continually updated as to the progress of the sale. We will be using them again because they produced a superior result. |

| Thanks to Mark Bruno, we just celebrated our first year anniversary of owning our home in Pebble Beach. We looked for quite some time and Mark came to know exactly what we were looking for and found just the right home for us. We weren't living in the area, so he made sure that when we did come over he had plenty of options to look at and also helped make the closing process go smoothly. I would definitely recommend Mark and his team to help find your home! |

| Lynda, Teresa and Mark, I wanted to thank you all so much for all you did to help make the transition of selling Pat's house seamless. You guys went over and above what I could have ever expected and I will be forever grateful for your professionalism, work ethic and compassion. You all made what was a tough situation so much easier. The piece of mind I had knowing that you were always there and willing to roll up your sleeve's to get done whatever had to be done was priceless. I knew you all had our best interest at heart. That meant the world to me, especially being out of the state. What I didn't expect out of all of this would be the wonderful friendships I have gained along the way. A beautiful rainbow at the end of a shower...... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Much respect and gratitude, Judy Price |
Mark and his real estate team live, work and play on the Monterey Peninsula. If you are looking for a real estate team that puts their clients first and knows the area inside and out, look no further.
