Erick Fernandez — founder of the real estate group EF Homes — has joined Coldwell Banker Realty’s office in Aptos, California, marking a shift from his prior affiliation with Keller Williams.
He brings more than two decades of business experience and is accompanied by EF Homes team members Laif McClellan and Cecilia Baron.
Fernandez, who has built his practice on transactions bridging Silicon Valley and the Santa Cruz region, is known for his understanding of how the tech industry influences local housing markets.
His focus has been helping sellers maximize returns and guiding buyers through high-stakes transactions in one of the state’s most competitive real estate corridors.
“We are thrilled to welcome EF Homes to our Aptos office,” said Alan Scearce, district manager of Coldwell Banker Realty in the Monterey Bay region. “Erick’s ability to listen deeply and negotiate effectively ensures a high level of service and personal attention that our clients truly value. His in-depth knowledge of the local market and keen attention to detail are key drivers of his continued success.”
“Erick’s addition reflects our continued growth and commitment to excellence across the region,” said Jennifer Lind, West regional president at Coldwell Banker Realty. “We are focused on attracting high-performing, quality agents who align with our vision of delivering exceptional service and results. Erick exemplifies that standard, and we’re proud to welcome him to the Coldwell Banker family.”
James Villa, regional vice president for Coldwell Banker Realty’s Silicon Valley/Peninsula region, echoed these sentiments.
“(Fernandez’s) reputation for integrity, clear communication, and a sincere dedication to making the real estate journey a positive experience precedes him,” he said. “We’re looking forward to the value he brings and the impact he’ll have on our clients and our team.”
Coldwell Banker has also recently announced additional team and agent affiliations in Northern California and Connecticut.
