Nevada County sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California, stretching from the historic Gold Rush towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City up toward the Tahoe National Forest. It's a region defined by tall pines, four real seasons, and small-town character — a favorite for buyers trading city life for space, privacy, and a slower pace, without giving up an easy drive to Sacramento or the Bay Area.
Whether you're drawn to Alta Sierra's wooded lots, a Nevada City Victorian, or acreage near Penn Valley or Lake Wildwood, I can help. As a Nevada County native, Air Force veteran, and REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Grass Roots Realty, I've spent my career — and my life — in this community.

We had a fantastic experience working with Mike Faulkenberry on our recent home purchase in Grass Valley. Mike's understanding of the market, his responsiveness, and his thoughtful approach to being our agent made him a delight to work with. As our agent, we always felt like Mike gave us straight answers and solid advice, which really made what could have been a stressful closing much more fluid and manageable. If you're looking to buy or sell in the Gold Country, we highly recommend working with him.
