Wayland Properties
What Makes Us Different?
There is no shortage of property management companies - We get it.
But all property management companies are not created equal.
So, what makes us different?
Let's start with experience. We have over 8 years experience in real esate and property management. We live AND work on the Monterey Peninsula (Offices are in Carmel-by-the-Sea) which supplies us with unparalleled knowledge about each unique area of the Monterey Peninsula. We are members of the California Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, and Monterey County Association of Realtors. But we don't stop there, we continue our education with certifications and have our Property Management Masters Certification, Certificate of Excellence, Military Relocation Professional Designation, and a Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource Certification.
Property management is a service business and we are tirelessly searching for ways to exceed our clients expectations. This is what sets us a part. There is no black and white model for this business - each property and property owner bring their own unique sets of needs and challenges. We strive to create a unique experience for our clients. And we will settle for nothing less than excellence both within our company culture and to our clients.
Property management should be affordable. We do what we can to keep our overhead to a minimum keeping our fees as fair as possible. We only charge our monthly management fee - we don't up-charge on maintenance calls, for periods of vacancies or for renewals. It's all included!
We don't stop at property management, we also help people buy their forever homes, investment properties or commercial spaces. Attaining top dollar when selling your property is a specialty of ours. We have an entire team of interior designers, stagers, and professional Realtors to meet any of your needs. Our experienced interior designer provides our clients with a free evaluation to inspire you to declutter, depersonalize and spruce up your home. Our sister company, SeaBlush Studios, a local, professional staging company has experience showcasing properties unique characteristics to ensure buyers fall in love with your property on the first visit. Their warehouse of furniture is at our clients disposal and offers Wayland Properties clients special pricing and unique payment plans. Our boutique brokerage model ensures that our clients goals are achieved! We have a marketing director to show case your properties print and web presence with a global reach. You will have our full team of professionals full attention during every transaction!
The Wayland Properties Team

A strong grasp of the real estate market from over 15 years of managing properties and buying/selling homes, Ashley recognizes that no single approach is always best, as every client and property is unique. Her dedication and commitment to her clients best interest is what makes her a natural fit for real estate, helping people make smart decisions towards financial freedom.

Catherine Ballesta
I am a 29 year real estate veteran and a Monterey Bay area native with deep roots and life long connections. I obtained my real estate license in 1994 and have held many sales positions over the years. Most recently, as Vice President and Managing Officer for Intero at their Carmel and Pacific Grove locations. Prior to that I was a Sales Manager and trainer for a new home builder in Marina, Ca., selling over 400 homes over a span of 5 years. But as I have done throughout my career, I took on more responsibilities. In addition to management and sales duties, I provided support, mentorship and training for sales teams. Prior to New homes sales, I held a sales associate position with The Ryness Group, one of the largest new home marketing organizations in the nation. Consistently selling homes in Gilroy and the greater Bay Area. During my successful career, I centered on team building, training, company growth, restructuring and providing the best mentorship possible. A few of the helpful activities that have supported these efforts included taking on the role of Co-Chair of Programs and Education for the Women’s Council of Realtor’s Santa Cruz in 2009. At that time I also certified as an Emergency Medical Technician in 1999 for both Monterey and Santa Clara Counties. I was a guest speaker to hundreds of local agents and brokers throughout the region. In support of my standing in the real estate community, I am a current member of the California Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, and Monterey County Association of Realtors. I currently hold the position of Business Developement Manager for Wayland Properties, Inc. and continue to train, grow, mentor, provide operational support and guidance as well as represent sellers and buyers in Monterey County. Our office also manages over 181 Residential and Commercial properties in and around Monterey and Plumas Counties.

Andrea Garzon
My name is Andrea Garzon and I grew up in Monterey, Ca, where I went to school most of my life. I attended Monterey Peninsula College and completed an associates degree in Pre-Nursing. That’s where my passion of wanting to help people stemmed from and from there I wanted to take on the challenge of getting my real estate license. I joined real estate because I enjoy finding solutions for people and the process that it comes with. It brings me satisfaction and gratitude helping out people. With my knowledge, I want to be able to guide people when making the big decision of buying or selling a home. I enjoy rainy days with my cat, hiking the local Fort Ord trails, playing tennis, and spending time with family and friends on my leisure time. I’m excited to work with clients to buy, sell, or invest into real estate with the services that I offer!

Helena Banjavcic
My introduction to the Monterey Peninsula came along 6 years ago, as a student relocating from Croatia. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Economics and Master’s in Management while spending summer breaks working and traveling throughout the US. I have experience in business development, sales and property legalization.
As I’ve always had a love for interior design, art and fashion, I wanted to incorporate it with the business side which allowed me to express my creativity and exercise my knowledge. Real estate is a mix of it all which attracted me to the peninsula due to its beauty, Mediterranean architecture and culture.
I recognized a huge opportunity when I fell in love with the quaint beach town with its iconic golf courses, great wines, eclectic restaurants and lengthy shores as well as the proximity to Silicon Valley. I am dedicated to working hard for my clients and inspire to have fun along the way while continuing to learn, meet new people and enjoy the life that the Peninsula has to offer.

Maddison Wayland
Hi, my name is Maddison but my mom calls me Maddie or sometimes Moo. I'm a young English Springer Spaniel. I am still a little nervous around people so I grumble a little when I meet new humans and even though my mom gets mad, I like to jump on people and give them kisses. My belly has magical powers to make everything better so I roll over alot and want belly rubs. Some of my favorite things is going to the Carmel office with my mom, run on the beach and chase birds. I've been making a lot of new friends around town. When I'm not working at the office, I am down at the beach chasing waves, birds and squirrels. But I really just want to be anywhere my mom is. She's my favorite person.
We love our military!
- In November, due to Veteran's Day, we will donate all of our military homeowners management fees to the Veterans Transition Center.
- For all military, we offer low commission rates on home sales and credits back for any home purchases.
