Bubbles – Chief Happiness Officer

After more than 10 years of loyal volunteer service, Bubbles has officially joined the Steinbeck Real Estate sales support team. As our Senior Greeter, she’s often the first smiling face to welcome you at both our Downtown Salinas and Toro Park offices. Bubbles brings comfort, laughter, and a daily reminder to our hardworking agents to step away from their desks and enjoy a walk. Her cheerful spirit and wagging tail brighten every client and team member’s day.

When she’s not busy at the offices, Bubbles enjoys hiking in Toro Park, showing off her favorite bones, collecting pets and belly rubs, meeting new friends, and running around to her heart’s content. She can often be found shadowing our broker, making sure everything is running smoothly.
