Hi, I’m Chris Charman, and I’m here to help you find your next home in Santa Cruz. I joined Vanguard Realtors — the “family business” — in 2010, after nearly two decades in Silicon Valley. I am a broker, a REALTOR® member of the National Association of REALTORS, the California Association of REALTORS, the Santa Cruz County Association of Realtors, Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®), e-Pro®, and a C.A.R.-Certified Transaction Coordinator.
In addition to my real estate qualifications, I hold a Bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley in Ancient Near Eastern Art History and Archeology (Egyptian Archeology), and more recently minted MA and MFA degrees in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. I have done everything from washing trucks and selling Kona coffee wholesale to consumer software support and playing the bass professionally. There are few situations that won’t find me calm and collected.
Whether you’re looking to purchase your first home, find hassle-free management for your rental property or relocate your favorite mummy to a larger, more stylish tomb, I’m here to help.
