Santa Cruz

Born and raised in Santa Cruz, I started helping our local family brokerage at about 8 years of age, giving me a front-row seat into Karon Properties’ highly regarded personalized sales service and property management. I loved real estate then, and I love it now.

Decades later, I am proud to call Santa Cruz home once again, acting as Managing Broker for Karon Properties while maintaining an excellent reputation as a top producer and steadfast steward of our community.

Have worked with Eli on my last three homes. Dedicated, smart, NICE, honest and an unmatched feel for the market. In short, he's the BEST.

Jimmy F, Los Angeles buyer & seller
Due to Eli's hard work, and deep, long-standing knowledge of the Santa Cruz real estate market, we were able to purchase the exact home we wanted. He hand held us every step of the way, and long after the purchase has served as an invaluable resource to help us navigate the many moving parts that go along with buying a new home.

Karen R, Santa Cruz buyer
Eli has been an outstanding asset throughout our first home buying experience. His honesty, knowledge and finesse was invaluable in helping us navigate the treacherous waters of the current housing market. A master of diplomacy and negotiation, Eli is an expert in the field who will meet any and all of your real estate needs.

Josh V, Los Angeles buyer
Eli has a true gift of being an absolute professional but also making you feel like family. His knowledge of the market and all the nuances of selling and buying make a stressful process feel easy and seamless. We could not have been happier than we were with Eli's service.
