About Us

Mendocino Bayside Realty was established by Birdie and Howie Holmes with the spirited independence and 24/7 work ethic of the long-time self-employed. Mendocino Bayside Realty is the evolution and expansion of their residential design/construction and property sales/management business, established in 1992, Whole Earth Enterprises.

Now they are excited to bring to fruition Mendocino Bayside Realty. It’s the next adventure in the creative life and career built by Birdie and Howie on the solid foundation of their over 3 decade partnership, and between them, almost 70-years experience working in residential design/construction, property development, and real estate sales/management.

Meet Howie

My wife Birdie and I have been together sharing our experiences in construction and real estate since 1988. We started our residential home design, construction, and property management business, Whole Earth Enterprises, in 1992.

After 16-years as a Realtor, Birdie became a Broker in 2018. I followed her into the business when I was licensed as a sales agent in 2019. We now own our own brokerage Mendocino Bayside Realty. She and I are a great team. We enjoy our live/work lifestyle and love using our years of experience and skills to help folks find their way here, to the heavenly coast of Mendocino.
