ABOUT US

HELPING NAPA VALLEY BRING
ADU DREAMS TO LIFE 

By now, you’ve probably heard the term “ADU” more times than you can count. But let me tell you what it means to me, Curtis Van Carter, your Napa Valley ADU Guru. It’s not just about adding extra space or boosting rental income, or even finding a spot for your in-laws. It’s about having someone you trust to guide you through the entire ADU journey right here in the Napa Valley. 

NAPA VALLEY ADU GURU

MY MISSION AND PROMISE

I know there’s a sea of so-called “ADU experts” out there on Google, each with their own take on what you need. But I’m here to cut through that noise with honest, straightforward answers. I’ve got 40-plus years of real estate experience in the Napa Valley, and I’m driven by a genuine passion for helping you figure out what an ADU really costs and how to make it a reality. 

​

My promise is simple: I’ll put your needs first, be honest if I don’t know something, and always do my best to find the answers for you. Even if you choose a company that doesn’t pay me a fee, I’ll still help you because that’s the kind of “Guru” I want to be. 

So, welcome to Napa Valley ADU Guru. Let’s make your ADU dreams come true—together.
