Background

About Curtis van Carter

Born into a career Air Force family, by the time I was 17 years old, he had moved with his parents 21 times and resided in many different places including all across the United States, Bermuda and seven years in Germany.I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Ohio State Univ. & worked in physics at the Calif. Institute of Tech. in Pasadena for a couple of years. I realized physics wasn’t for me and returned to school at Calif. State Univ, Hayward in the Master program in Geography.I began selling real estate in the Napa Valley, developing projects and making deals. I spent 13 successful years in association with Davidson & Bennett Realtors and The Prudential Calif. Realty, opening Yountville Properties in 1993. In 1997 he formed a new alliance with Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley and continues to live and work in Yountville.During his 25 year real estate career, I closed more than 400 residential real estate transactions totaling over $100 million, in addition to 50 commercial/land transactions valued at $60 million. Among he other professional accomplishments, I hold designations as both a Certified Residential Specialist, CRS (only 5% of agents nationwide are CRS) and Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI).His inscrutable ethics, attention to detail and unparallel customer service practices have earned him the moniker “broker extraordinaire” by his clients. Here are just two examples. “Curtis knew more about the property I was buying than the seller’s agent. He was thorough, pulled permits, carefully reviewed title reports AND the exceptions. I’ve never met a more hard-working agent.” “Curtis made home buying an exhilarating experience. We would recommend him without hesitation and will never consider using anyone else.”Finally, his education and training introduced him to technology at an early age, which I continue to use in real estate to maximize marketing opportunities on the Internet for his clients.Thanks Curtis Van Carter
