Pausing... captivated by the splendor of the sun descending into the sea. Inhaling the fresh clean air while listening to the eternal music of ocean waves forming and unfurling at the water's edge. Whoosh! An osprey makes its precise dive into the water, ascending again toward the now brilliant heavens with its catch.

It is in relishing moments like these that bring memories to David and Tracey Coddington of their decision to move to Mendocino County 30 years ago. They both wanted to pursue their life long passions of homesteading from the ground up and of raising their children in a harmonious community atmosphere. Their dreams included growing organic gardens and orchards, being creative with their hands and imaginations, and living in a healthy environment. Being lovers of the outdoors they enjoy the many opportunities to interact with their environment: hiking, fishing, ocean diving, boating or just be present in the beauty of Mendocino's natural world.

Together David and Tracey combine their talents to introduce and educate buyers to the Mendocino Coast real estate market. Having lived in the county for so many years, they know this area better than almost anyone and use their insider's perspective to the advantage of their many contented clients. For buyers who haven't lived in rural areas, it is essential to call upon David and Tracey's 30 years of living in Mendocino County.

For Sellers, they provide the best possible service and market exposure in property sales. With steady correspondence, they keep their clients well informed of market trends, current conditions and available properties. Their goal is to combine their attention to detail in real estate with their experience in building and developing properties. They enjoy introducing people to the wholesomely dynamic Mendocino lifestyle and the exceptional community that they feel blessed to call home.

Call them now to take your first step in becoming part of the Mendocino Coast Community.

I have lived on the beautiful Mendocino Coast for over 20 years. I specialize in historic homes, but serve both buyers and sellers in a wide range, from first time home seekers looking for affordable housing to others wanting to invest in oceanfront estates.

I am a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Coastal Mendocino Association of Realtors, where I have served as Membership Director, the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.

I was appointed by both Mendocino County supervisors Liz Henry and Patti Campbell to serve on the Mendocino County Community Development Commission to assist low income people, senior citizens and college students in the county with affordable housing.

As a Notary Public, I also do free notary services at the local hospital for persons unable to come to my office.

For six years I served on the Fort Bragg Planning Commission where I learned a great deal about the permitting process and land use.

In 1994, I had a "speaking role" playing the part of a real estate agent in a movie filmed in Mendocino, "The Haunting of Sea Cliff Inn" with Ally Sheedy, Billy Moses and Louise Fletcher of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" fame. I have also appeared in a few TV commercials.

I have one daughter, who went all through the Mendocino school system and is currently teaching at the middle school here, and am a proud grandma of a two year old granddaughter.

In addition to real estate, I have just had my first book published, "A Mendocino Mystery" featuring a female private detective in the village of Mendocino. It is available in the local book stores and on the internet.

If you want a REALTOR who is involved in the community, has been a consistent Top Producer, knows land use issues, Coastal Development Permit requirements, works with first time buyers as well as experienced investors, you should give me a call at 707-961-0937, my home number where I can always be reached in the evenings.

Originally from Hawaii, I have been living in beautiful Mendocino County since 1992.

In my wildest dreams I never thought I’d ever be a Real Estate agent. But a dear friend who is an investor in the Real Estate market coaxed me into getting my license so that I could work with her. It is a business I stumbled into and I find myself being grateful to her for I've found a way to make a living that I enjoy, and sing on the side (which is my other life and love!)

Very familiar with Anderson Valley as well as the Mendocino Coast, I enjoy working to find just what you want in a home or investment.

I am a member of the Coastal Mendocino Association of Realtors, where I serve on the Board of Directors as Educational Chair. I am also a member of the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.

I have lived and worked on the Mendocino coast since 1972. My parents and younger siblings moved to the “village” of Mendocino in 1960 where my father was involved in community activities and my sister and brothers attended school. In 2004, after teaching in the Fort Bragg Unified School District for many years, I began a “new” career as a real estate agent. Even though I am a newcomer to real estate, I am a long-time resident of the coastal area, spending summer vacations in Mendocino in my younger years, working here for most of my career, and being involved in community activities as both a parent and educator.

From a more personal perspective, I enjoy the out-of-doors, gardening, and travel. When in education, I was fortunate to be able to travel to a number of European countries, mainly with student groups. In addition, I partake of the many opportunities our community offers for the enjoyment of music, theater, and artistic endeavors.

As a real estate professional, I work with both buyers and sellers, bringing to my endeavors a lifetime of working with people with enthusiasm, sincerity and integrity. I look forward to the opportunity to assist clients with all aspects of real estate transactions, whether it is listing and marketing property, or purchasing a home or land.
