the greatest meeting of land and sea on the planet…

Big Sur is a majestic natural wonderland that inspires all who visit. Home to the Esselen Indians, the region is roughly 80 miles long and 20 miles wide. The region later became known to the Spanish, who settled on the peninsula to the north, as El Sur Grande, or The Big South. Eventually, a few rugged pioneer families settled in the area and a road was completed from north to south in 1937. Highway 1 winds along the coast and is used by an estimated 5 million visitors a year. Homes are generally on small parcels of land surrounded by vast expanses of protected government parkland.

my BIG SUR Real Estate beginnings…

Over the years, I continually heard about legendary Big Sur Realtor Hank Adams. Hank was much loved by the Big Sur community and known for not being afraid to tell it like it is during his 30 plus years of practicing real estate. I had heard stories of him talking people out of buying properties because he knew they weren’t the right fit, which confirmed for me that he wasn’t only about ‘the sale’. A few years ago, I approached Hank’s office partner Linda to see if I might be able to look around at some Big Sur properties for sale with Hank. Linda told me that Hank had recently retired and that they were referring all clients to their trustworthy broker and friend, Ben Heinrich. “He is the only person we recommend”, she told me. I contacted Ben and he represented me in the purchase of my home in Big Sur.
