Located in the northeast quadrant of the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area, Clovis is situated in the midst of the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley. Since its incorporation in 1912, Clovis has been the “Gateway to the Sierra.” Dedicated to promoting planned growth while retaining its unique western atmosphere, the City’s population has more than doubled since 1985, reaching the current level of over 98,000, and encompassing over 23 square miles in area.
The City of Clovis was named after its public-spirited pioneer, Clovis M. Cole, who spent most all of his life in the Clovis area. The first thoughts of the settlement, however, are credited to Padre Martin, who explored the area in 1806 looking for a site to build a mission. Missionaries and trappers were the first non-native people to roam the area. Miners soon came as well during the “gold rush.”
Another earlier settler, Marcus Pollasky, proposed and coordinated the construction of a railroad through the grain, cattle, and mining country and into the timber-rich forests of the nearby Sierra. The City eventually grew up around the San Joaquin Division of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which played an important role in the founding and growth of Clovis. In addition to the arrival of the “Iron Horse,” factors such as completing the 42 mile-long Shaver log flume, developing the 40-acre Clovis mill and finishing plant, expanding grain production, and raising livestock all combined to ensure the founding of Clovis in 1891.
Located in the northeast quadrant of the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area, Clovis is situated in the midst of the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley. Since its incorporation in 1912, Clovis has been the “Gateway to the Sierra.” Today, Clovis continues to plan and adapt to meet the needs of its present and future citizens. The City’s economic base consists of retail sales and services and light manufacturing. Availability of housing, quality hospital care, excellent schools with modern facilities, responsive safety services, a mild climate, access to varied recreational opportunities, and strong community identity all contribute to Clovis’ reputation as a great place to live.
Clovis has maintained a small town community spirit as envisioned by its early founders, which is exemplified by such community events as the annual Rodeo Days, Big Hat Days, and Clovisfest celebration. This community pride, combined with Clovis’ unique growth opportunities, continues to attract new residents, developers, businesses, and industries to the City.

Where do I even start with this review. Baylen displayed the upmost professionalism throughout the entire process of selling my home. His knowledge of this trade coupled with his energy and modern style thinking, lead this to be the smoothest home sale I have experienced.
To basically explain the above mentioned paragraph short and sweet, Baylen had my home pending sale in less than one week of listing it. He negotiated everything flawlessly for me and closed my house within a month, 10k over asking.
Once I told Baylen I was ready to sale, he came in with his team of landscapers, photographers and home inspections without taking a penny from my pocket. He had my house ready to hit the market within days. He provided me with an accurate time sheet including showing and closing dates with estimated net proceeds.
I highly recommend Baylen to any home seller or buyer out there. With Baylen, you’re going to get someone who knows what he is doing and someone who is going to be aggressive and there for you every step of the way.
Thank you Baylen for such an incredible experience!! You deserve all the best things that come your way and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Baylen is the best! I cannot begin to describe how wonderful our home buying experience was thanks to Baylen. my fiancé and i were first time home buyers and had absolutely no idea where to start/what to do. From day one Baylen always guided us in the right direction to ensure the whole process went smoothly, first by kind of giving us the run down about what to expect, how things work etc. and secondly, by making all of the requested showings happen when requested without a doubt and educating us on things to look out for/cool upgrades, nice features that we haven’t seen or dealt with before. Baylen is VERY knowledge, very kind and was very thorough throughout our buying experience, his expertise and negotiation skills lead us to our very first home with no bumps in the road, we could not have asked for a better first experience. I will forever recommend Baylen to anyone looking for realtor needs; selling or buying, there is just no question here. when you want to win, choose Baylen at the trafton home team!!

Baylen sold my home in Fresno CA. We first met Baylen 4 years ago when he sold us our home in Fresno and we not only became acquaintances but friends. When an opportunity came for my husband out of state, we were forced with the task of having to sell our home. Of course we would choose no one but Baylen to work with us because of his incredible knowledge, expertise, awesome personality and go getting methods. He sold our home quickly and definitely in the price range we were hoping for. I highly recommend Baylen and his skilled team for anyone’s realty needs! Thanks again Baylen! It has been wonderful working with and getting to know know you!

If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable and detail oriented real estate agent, Baylen Trafton is your guy! Baylen's and his team were ready for everything to help the sale of our house go smoothly. Any questions or issues we had during the sale process were always answered clearly and quickly resolved. The attention brought by Baylen’s media blast that preceded our house going on the market was amazing. We had cars driving by all day long, there was a ton of interest premarket which led to multiple offers (+10) over asking. Buying or selling a house is a very stressful time but with an agent like Baylen you can be sure it will go smoothly. Having bought and now sold a house with Baylen, we can say without a doubt we are very happy with our experience with Baylen Trafton. We would also feel 100% comfortable recommending Baylen to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Fresno/Clovis area.

Baylen Trafton was amazing to work with. From the first day looking at houses, until the end of my transaction, I felt informed and reassured the entire way. Baylen was always available for contact each and everyday. Any bump in the road that may have come up from the lender and/or seller, was quickly and effectively rectified. This is my second home purchase and I felt far more taken care of by Baylen than I had from a previous run of the mill real estate company. Even after closing, Baylen continued to check-in with me to make sure the property was free of issues, and that I was satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommended Baylen to anyone looking for a smooth and worry free transaction.

Baylen helped me buy a great house in a very competitive market with a very competitive price. He has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. If you want to be in a good house fast, he's your guy. I got a great house at value in the crazy housing market of late 2020. All other houses were selling at 10k more than their value. Every day goes buy I love my house more and more and more. Love the kitchen. There is just so much future in this house. I love it.

Baylen provided invaluable guidance and advice when I decided to sell my rental property. He took the time to talk about different scenarios that were available. He went over the pros and cons of different choices. His professionalism gave me enough confidence that the sale of my property was in the right hands. Throughout the process he was patient (honestly, I was a bit more anxious to get the house sold than the average client) and was always quick and responsive anytime I had a question or request. I recommend Baylen to anyone seeking to get their real estate needs met in a prompt and professional manner.
