NOW GROWING IN APTOS - COMING WINTER 2026
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate HAVEN PROPERTIES is excited to announce the upcoming opening of our newest office at 105 Post Office Drive, Aptos, California, scheduled for Winter 2026.
This new location represents the next step in our strategic expansion up and down the Central Coast and strengthens our presence across the Santa Cruz and North Monterey County markets. The Aptos office will serve as a hub for top local professionals who value collaboration, innovation, and high-level business support and development.
BUILDING ON STRONG MOMENTUM
Our growth in Aptos follows an exceptional year of expansion in 2025, when HAVEN PROPERTIES opened new offices in Monterey and Salinas. These locations allowed us to bring our unique agent-first model directly into Monterey County—providing hands-on leadership, advanced marketing resources, and personalized coaching to an entirely new community of real estate professionals.
The success of those offices confirmed what we have always believed: agents thrive when they are given real tools, real support, and a brokerage that invests in their long-term success.
A BROKERAGE BUILT AROUND AGENT DEVELOPMENT
At HAVEN PROPERTIES, Business Development is our core promise. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all real estate. Every agent receives individualized attention, strategic planning, and customized growth support designed around their goals and strengths.
From advanced marketing platforms and proprietary technology to structured training and succession planning, our model is focused on helping agents build sustainable, scalable, and fulfilling careers.
JOIN THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS
As we prepare to open in Aptos, we are actively seeking to partner with exceptional local agents and teams who serve:
- Aptos
- Capitola
- Santa Cruz
- Soquel
- Watsonville
- North Monterey County communities
Our ideal partners are professionals who are coachable, growth-minded, and committed to delivering an extraordinary client experience. We are not simply looking to add agents—we are looking to build long-term relationships with the very best talent in the region.
THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE
The new Aptos office is more than a new address. It is a commitment to deeper community involvement, stronger agent support, and continued innovation throughout the Santa Cruz and Monterey markets.
We are proud of how far we have come—and even more excited about where we are headed.
Welcome to the future of real estate on the Central Coast.
Welcome to HAVEN PROPERTIES.
WHO IS HAVEN PROPERTIES?
Established in 2013 in San Luis Obispo by Gavin Payne, HAVEN PROPERTIES was built on a simple but powerful idea: a real estate brokerage should exist to develop people, not just process transactions. From day one, the company was designed around the concept of investing in individual agents and teams—helping them grow stronger businesses, better systems, and more fulfilling careers.
What began as a single office with 15 agents has grown into a dynamic and expanding organization serving communities throughout the Central Coast. HAVEN PROPERTIES quickly earned a reputation for hands-on leadership, personalized coaching, and a genuine commitment to helping real estate professionals achieve measurable, long-term success. Now serving over 140 professional real estate agents with office locations in
- San Luis Obispo
- Morro Bay
- Pismo Beach
- Orcutt
- Paso Robles
- Salinas
- Monterey and coming soon Aptos.
Our approach is intentional and individualized. We believe every agent has unique strengths, goals, and opportunities. Rather than applying a generic model, HAVEN PROPERTIES focuses on one-on-one mentorship, strategic business planning, advanced tools, and ongoing education to help each agent build a sustainable and scalable real estate practice.
Today, HAVEN PROPERTIES is recognized as a brokerage where collaboration matters, integrity comes first, and agent success is the primary mission. As we continue to grow into new markets—including Monterey, Salinas, and now Aptos—we remain deeply committed to the same core principle that started it all:
When agents succeed, clients win—and communities thrive.
