About Charlie

Drafted by the Tigers.
Now Selling the Coast.

Licensed since 2020, Charlie built his practice on a simple standard: know the market better than anyone, communicate directly, and never cut corners on preparation. He works within The Hobbs Group at Arbor Real Estate, one of Orange County's most established practices, where clients benefit from $5 billion in collective sales experience and access to off-market opportunities that rarely reach public listing.

His focus is intentionally narrow. Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Mesa Verde, and Newport Beach each have distinct pricing dynamics, buyer profiles, and neighborhood-level patterns that generic market data misses. That specificity is what he brings to every transaction.

Before Real Estate

Drafted in 2012. Competing for Nearly a Decade.

Before real estate, Charlie was a professional pitcher — drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2012 and competed for nearly a decade. It’s not a selling point so much as context: the discipline, the preparation, and the ability to stay level when a deal gets complicated are habits formed long before his first listing.
