Courtney Twiss is the founder and CEO of Twiss Realty Group in Mariposa, California (CA DRE# 01808727), brokered by eXp Realty Luxury. She has over 20 years of experience across real estate sales, lending, and property investment, and leads a seven-agent team serving Mariposa County, Oakhurst, Bass Lake, Clovis, and the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Oakhurst is a southern gateway to Yosemite and generally offers a mix of foothill homes, cabins, and acreage. Buyers there are often weighing full-time residences against vacation and short-term rental properties, and inventory can move quickly in spring and summer. Because conditions change month to month, we recommend requesting a current market report so you're working from live numbers rather than averages.

Selling in the Sierra foothills usually follows five steps: get a realistic valuation based on recent comparable sales and your acreage, handle well, septic, and defensible-space items early, prepare and photograph the property to show its land and views, price it for the season, then market it to both local and out-of-area buyers. Twiss Realty Group handles each step and can start with a free home valuation at (209) 769-0532.

Mariposa offers a peaceful small-town lifestyle in the Sierra Nevada foothills, just outside Yosemite National Park. Residents enjoy wide-open landscapes, historic gold-country charm, a tight-knit community, easy access to outdoor recreation, and a slower pace than nearby valley cities.

The town of Mariposa sits about 30 miles from the Arch Rock entrance to Yosemite National Park, roughly a 45-minute drive. Many Mariposa County properties are even closer to the park's western gateways.
