SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. and MADISON, N.J. (November 7, 2016) – Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate announced today the addition of its latest California-based brokerage, Haven Properties, to its international franchise network. The newly named Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Haven Properties, led by Gavin Payne, will maintain its downtown office locations, and will continue to serve its core area of San Luis Obispo County, along with Santa Barbara County and the Santa Ynez Valley. This encompasses Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Nipomo, Templeton and Orcutt.
San Luis Obispo County, situated roughly halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, is home to the renowned Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo wine regions. National Geographic’s Dan Buettner and Oprah Winfrey each recently recognized San Luis Obispo as the “Happiest City in America.” Located on California’s famed Central Coast and home to the world-famous Hearst Castle, San Luis Obispo County contains 13 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). In fact, Paso Robles was just named the 2016 Best Wine Country Town by Sunset Magazine.
Gavin Payne has been a REALTOR® in the vicinity for over 13 years and has represented hundreds of clients in meeting their real estate goals. Committed to giving back to the area that he lives in and works with, he is a youth sports coach in both baseball and soccer and has served on several local charity and professional boards. The real estate professionals affiliated with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Haven Properties are also working with the local real estate community to fundraise for the new homeless services center at 40 Prado Road, which will provide space for a collaborative network of services to help local homeless individuals and families create a path toward stability and permanent housing solutions.
