Sun City Lincoln Hills Realtor & CFP®

Luxury‑Tier Real Estate Advisor | Retirement & Relocation Specialist
Clarity – Preparation – Respect

As a resident of Sun City Lincoln Hills and a Retirement & Relocation Specialist, I help homeowners make clear, confident decisions at one of life’s most important transitions. After owning 17 homes—including three in 55+ resort communities—I understand the lifestyle, timing, and financial trade‑offs that matter most when simplifying life and moving into a community like ours.

A Career Built on Financial Precision

My professional background spans federal lending, corporate trust valuation, high‑level bank management, and independent wealth advisory. I began at the U.S. Small Business Administration while completing my MBA in Finance, earning national recognition for my work supporting businesses impacted by natural disasters.

I later joined First Interstate Bank’s Los Angeles headquarters (now Wells Fargo) as a financial analyst in the Personal Trust Department, performing business valuations for ultra‑high‑net‑worth families and prominent executives. From there, I moved into bank management with Security Pacific National Bank, where my performance was recognized by the Board of Directors. When Security Pacific merged into Bank of America, I managed the combined branch—one of the highest‑volume locations in the entire system.

During this period, I also taught graduate‑level Economics and Finance for Golden Gate University, further strengthening the analytical approach I bring to advising clients today.

As Bank of America expanded investment services, I transitioned into the role of Vice President of Investments, a division that ultimately merged into Merrill Lynch. I later founded Claycomb Wealth Management, an independent CFP® practice with LPL Financial, and grew the firm until retiring at age 60—achieving my personal goal of financial independence.

Real estate became my second career not out of necessity, but out of passion. After relocating back to California from Hawaii, I realized that my financial background, valuation expertise, and extensive personal experience navigating multiple home purchases positioned me uniquely to serve clients with clarity, precision, and fiduciary‑level care.

From Resident to Advisor

What began as a personal move to be closer to family quickly became a professional calling. Today, I combine my financial background, market expertise, and lived experience as a resident to guide clients both within Sun City Lincoln Hills and throughout the region—whether they’re transitioning into retirement living or selling premium view and estate‑level properties.

Why Work With a Resident Advisor?

Because I live, work, and play here, I offer insider knowledge of floor plans, pricing logic, and community dynamics. I understand the specific concerns my neighbors face—from tax implications and downsizing strategies to the emotional weight of selling a longtime home. My goal is to make every step feel calm, clear, and rewarding.

I provide luxury‑tier advisory service to all homeowners, with specialized expertise in premium view and Estate Series properties often purchased by high‑net‑worth downsizers from Granite Bay, Loomis, El Dorado Hills, and Placer County country estates.

Proven Results

My practice is centered on Sun City Lincoln Hills, where I have closed more than $35 million in total sales over the past five years. This production places me among the top tier of agents serving both Sun City Lincoln Hills and Placer County, reflecting consistent results across changing market conditions.

In a community where the average days on market is typically around 30, my listings sell substantially faster, supported by a disciplined strategy built around accurate pricing, optimal launch timing, and targeted marketing to active buyers. My listings also consistently close at or above the original list price, demonstrating the effectiveness of a data‑driven approach designed specifically for the Sun City Lincoln Hills market.

This combination of speed, precision, and pricing accuracy helps homeowners achieve strong outcomes with maximum clarity and minimal stress.

Discipline and Integrity

I began my career in the United States Air Force, entering as an Airman Basic and earning my Bachelor’s degree during my enlistment. I received the Air Force Commendation Medal and was nominated for Officer Training School, but ultimately chose to transition into the private sector to pursue broader career opportunities.

That foundation of discipline and integrity continues to guide my work today. It has also earned me recognition in the Placer County Association of REALTORS® Master’s Club and Coldwell Banker’s International Diamond Club for being in the top 7% of agents worldwide.

Life in Lincoln Hills

When I’m not serving clients, you’ll find Katie and me cycling, hiking, or exploring Lincoln Hills with our dog, Buddy. We love this community—and I’m passionate about helping others discover the same joy in living their best retirement life.
