Ken Shyvers of RE/MAX Gold in Napa, CA.

Previously with Lyon Real Estate, we are thrilled to have Ken Shyvers join us in Napa, CA. With a long winemaking career, Ken is a natural in Napa as he continues to expand his career in real estate. But he is not only in Napa Valley! Ken’s real estate services include Napa, Sonoma, Yolo, and Solano Counties.

I joined RE/MAX Gold Nation because... “They are big and have multiple offices to work from, which helps keep my marketing consistent.” -Ken Shyvers

For over 35 years, Ken held an extensive career in winemaking and viticulture in Napa Valley and other premium wine regions in California. Much like in real estate, Ken had to master people skills as he worked with all kinds of people. We worked with farmers, colleagues in the business, and customers. “There were no cookie-cutter people. I was working with multiple types of people all the time”, Ken recalled. Six years ago, Ken decided it was time to start something new and pursue real estate with these skills from the wine industry in hand. He wanted to focus more on what he wanted to do. “Because I had to manage a lot of people in my career, I wanted to be independent, more in charge of my career,” Ken explained. Like many agents who make the career switch to real estate, Ken wanted the freedom entrepreneurship brings.

Starting his new career, Ken initially sold in Davis, CA, and the surrounding area. After tragically losing his home in a wildfire, Ken resettled in Napa Valley. Building his business in the new location, Ken has used his experience as a winemaker to connect with people and share a passion that so many in the surrounding area have.

As Ken stretched himself between Napa and Davis, he needed to find more continuity in his business, leading to his RE/MAX Gold switch. With over 119 offices across the West Coast, agents can efficiently work in multiple locations while working under one roof. He is thrilled that he can still do business and market in both areas while staying under the same roof of RE/MAX Gold Nation.

We are excited to have the rare combo of a wine expert and a real estate expert! Get in touch with Ken, and possibly enjoy a glass of wine, by phone 831-297-2692 or email kenshyvers@gmail.com.
