Upgraded Living - June 2021

Century21 Select OROVILLE When Dan Jacuzzi purchased his father’s Yuba City real estate company in 1972, it was a boutique office—home to just 8 agents. Over the years, his instinct allowed him to build, merge, and acquire new offices from Yuba City up through the North Valley, into Nevada, and around Lake Tahoe, eventually creating a real estate empire known as Select Group Real Estate. This summer, Dan adds his 36th office to the organization with Century 21 Select Group in Oroville, and with it, extends the company’s reach into an area they’ve long been interested in servicing.

the organization since 2006 and has helped grow its presence and visibility throughout the Northstate. “Between the Oroville Dam failing, the fires, and everything else that’s happened in the past few years, our communities really came together as one.

Century 21’s commercial team has been working in Oroville a lot as people have begun taking notice of the jewel that it really is. It has changed considerably over the past few years, and is just as vibrant and viable as anywhere else. In fact, many homebuyers are moving to Oroville in search of prices they can’t find in Chico any longer.”

“Dan has put all these offices together to service the small underserved markets,” Doug Love, general manager of Century 21 Chico said. “The biggest market in the organization has been Chico, even though it’s been the most removed from the hub of other Select Group offices. He purchased it in 1997, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him for 25 years. Through the Chico office, we’ve serviced a wide area, but Paradise and Oroville were always on their own system, and each city was resistant to the other due to different MLS systems.

When the Camp Fire happened, it brought everyone together, and we all fell in love with each other. We all spent time enjoying each other’s cities, so when the opportunity arose to work together, we jumped at it.”

Doug continued, “Bringing Oroville into the fold with a new office really came together like a serendipitous miracle. There was an off-market property available that was brought to our attention by Chaz Gaddie, who is soon opening Downtown Oroville’s newest restaurant, Coyote Cantina. The office is perfectly located right next door to Oroville’s most popular restaurant, Union, on Montgomery Street. Needless to say, we’ll be having a lot of lunch meetings!

The office is going to have a star-studded list of REALTORs as well with names that have long been at the top of their game throughout Chico and Oroville, including: Tara Iorg Atteberry, Debbie Capshaw, TJ Jensen, Debbie Potestio, Rhonda Mah, Sandy Hufford, and Chaz Gaddie. Some of our current realtors in Chico live in Oroville and serve the area as well. Alongside our commercial team, the office will provide 20

REALTORs to service Oroville’s residential and commercial needs.”

As this issue of Upgraded Living no doubt illustrates, there’s plenty of reason for interest in the Oroville area. Beyond the expanded area for buying and selling, there’s a considerable amount of growth happening throughout the city, and a very progressive mindset in helping new businesses succeed. The double lane highway through Marysville will soon be complete, connecting Lincoln and Roseville, and many Paradise residents are not only moving to the area, but bringing their businesses with them as well.

“Since I can remember, I’ve been hearing people talk about Oroville being the next big thing.” Doug exclaimed, “It’s finally happening! You have this incredible amount of money being poured into new restaurants by people like Brian, Chaz, and Chio, who are revitalizing Downtown Oroville. Then, you have the lake, the forebay, the afterbay, Table Mountain, and more recreation opportunities than you could ever hope for.

Oroville is making a comeback in a big way, and we’re really excited to be a part of it!

More importantly, everyone is conscious of what’s happening; they’re in sync and supporting each other. It’s made a big difference.”
