Born and raised in Quincy, CA, a small mountain town in Northern California, Ashley brings a deep, personal understanding of California real estate — from the coast to the mountains. She moved to the Monterey Peninsula in 2007 and quickly fell in love with coastal living, the sense of community, and the lifestyle that defines the region.
Ashley’s real estate career began in 2010, when she earned her California Real Estate Salesperson License and gained experience across multiple facets of the industry. Over the years, her background expanded to include banking, title and escrow, vacation rentals, sales, and customer service, giving her a well-rounded perspective on the real estate process from start to finish.
In 2015, Ashley earned her California Broker’s License and transitioned into leadership and long-term asset management. She went on to establish Wayland Properties in 2016, building what is now a family-owned and operated boutique brokerage built on trust, strategy, and long-term stewardship.
As the founder of this family-led brokerage, Ashley believes the strongest businesses — like the strongest homes — are built on integrity, accountability, and relationships that last. Family has always been central to her values, shaping how she leads, how she serves, and how she defines success.
With over 15 years of experience in real estate and property management, Ashley has worked across diverse California markets including Carmel, the Monterey Peninsula, and Quincy. Today, she leads Wayland Properties with a hands-on, relationship-driven approach grounded in communication, discretion, and long-term value.
Outside of work, Ashley remains deeply rooted in community, home, and meaningful connection. She and her husband continue restoring their farmhouse property, balancing heritage and modern design. She finds peace in early mornings on her porch with her Springer Spaniel, Maddie — and is often spotted cruising the Peninsula in her beloved yellow Ford Bronco, a familiar and cheerful presence along the coast. She is an active member of Monterey Church, a proud Leadership Carmel alumna (Class of 2025), and a Carmel Chamber member.
Ashley is a dedicated youth advocate and enjoys mentoring and volunteering. In her free time, she can often be found hiking with her Springer Spaniel, Maddie, reading, repurposing furniture, attending concerts, spending time with friends, or enjoying quiet weekends with her husband
