Agent Info
Anne Fashauer grew up on Greenwood Ridge near the Mendocino Coast and has lived in the region for most of her life. Her family came to the area around 1905 from Germany by way of St. Louis and Los Angeles before settling on Greenwood Ridge. Anne attended schools in Elk and Mendocino but participated in 4-H in Boonville. Anne left the ridge to attend the University of San Francisco and lived in San Francisco for a number of years, working for a time in the Presidio when it was still an Army post, before coming back home. When she first returned she was employed by Taylor Roberts, the Philo design firm, and was with them for seven and a half years, beginning as an assistant to the president, and working her way up to design operations manager. After leaving Taylor Roberts she began her real estate career on the coast with Century 21, where she took advantage of the great agent education system and learned the ropes. She decided to focus on Anderson Valley real estate full time in September of 2010 and went to work for North Country. In 2014 she took the classes for her Broker's license and in March of 2015 she took, and passed, her Broker's license exam. In October of 2015 she purchased the North Country Real Estate Brokerage from Michael Shapiro.
David Starkey
(DRE 01901654)
707.684.9885
David Starkey was born and raised in Orange County, California. Driven by his love for camping and the outdoors, he decided to enroll at Sonoma State University where he studied Geography and received a bachelor’s degree. One of his favorite activities during his time at Sonoma State was taking drives and exploring the more rural parts of Northern California, which led him to discover the Anderson Valley. The combination of redwood wilderness, world class wines and small town country community sparked his imagination.
After graduating college and moving back to Orange County, he attained his real estate license in 2011. The son of a real estate broker, who was involved in many projects in Southern California and Ohio, real estate was always something in his blood. A life changing trip to Tuscany's wine country, with a week stay at a hilltop villa outside Montalcino, would eventually lead to his future life direction.
In 2013, David moved to the Anderson Valley with nothing but a dream…to leave the fast pace and bright lights of the city and pursue a new path rooted in the country lifestyle witnessed in Tuscany. After 10+ years in the wine industry, meeting his wife and then working with Anne Fashauer to acquire the dream redwood forest hilltop property, David determined it was time to turn his sights towards helping others in their real estate endeavors.
