Real Estate Agents in Santa Cruz, CA

“Shemeika has been a crucial participant in my family's successful purchasing of 3 different Santa Cruz properties over 12 years. In that time I've come to know Shemeika as someone I can trust to keep my family's interests a priority, trust to do do what she says she will do, and trust that if she doesn't know the answers to the questions that come up, to be honest about that and endeavor to find the answers. It has been a pleasure to get to know Shemeika and a privilege to be able to call her my friend.

“I have been working with Mike Bloch for over 11 years and he has helped me find and purchase 3 homes in the Santa Cruz/Aptos area. He has also helped many of my family members and friends purchase or sell their homes during this time. Every single real estate transaction has been smooth and closed in a timely manner. Mike is a joy to work with and has the ability to foresee potential setbacks before they happen. His attention to detail is impressive and even the listing agent on my most recent purchase kept referring to Mike as “your awesome agent”. He clearly has the respect of other local agents who have worked with him. Mike will make you feel like he has your back and is looking out for your best interest and that is exactly what everyone should be looking for in a real estate professional. I highly recommend Mike Bloch if you want a real estate agent with experience, integrity and great negotiation skills.

“I needed to get a pretty substantial service before a big road trip and Pearce got me in & out in 2 days at a fair price.

The team is super friendly and communicated any necessary updates quickly.

Glad to have them in town - also very easy to book an appointment.”

“Jose went above and beyond to help my daughter sell her home and get her out of debt. Jose is professional, compassionate, caring, hard working, and honest. He will get the best deal he can for his clients without hurting or cheating the other party. Like the name of his company, he has integrity!!”

“Stacey was incredible in helping us purchase our home in Santa Cruz. As out of town buyers moving to the area she went above and beyond helping us both when we were in town and looking on her own and sending us info/videos/pictures when we were unable to quickly view a property in person. She is easy to work with and seems to have great relationships with other agents, inspectors, contractors, etc in the area. I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”

“Jeremy is a consummate professional. He is highly personable and easy to get along with. For his listings, he has great attention to detail that allows him to communicate areas of potential concern for buyers and gets them corrected prior to list, allowing his sellers to consistently get top dollar. When I see Jeremy's listings, I can confidently inform my clients that the listing agent addressed major issues with quality professionals in his network. Highly recommend.”

“Overall Julie did an amazing job for us. Being out of the area, we were able to lean on her knowledge and experience in the market that ultimately got us the result we were looking for. Given our non in-person working relationship, Julie was the perfect fit. She was trustworthy, communicative and followed through, doing what she said she'd do and doing so very timely. You could tell, even while not in person, she gave us (and the property) all the care and attention we expected. She also had great 3rd party resources between staging, inspectors, and contractors that were reasonable, professional, timely, and trustworthy. Overall, Julie made the whole process extremely smooth and stress free. I could not have asked for more. Thank you!”

“I first met Celeste at an Open House she was holding for the Frazier-Lewis house, an historic home close to the SantaCruz Harbor. Having served as President of the Capitola Museum Board of Trustees for several years, I was familiar with the story of Patty Reed-Lewis, the child that survived the Donnor expedition to California, and later moved to Capitola to manage the Grand Hotel, then spent her final years in the Frazier-Lewis house at 2-1130 East Cliff Drive.

What amazed me was how Celeste managed the Open House, meeting each newcomer with a gentle welcome, and the hospitality of a friend. The most recent owners of the home were James D Houston, an author, and his wife and sometimes co-author, Jeanne. James's books lined the many bookcases in the house, which was perfectly staged to offer a view of history, along with a glimpse of what modern could be in the same space with a little work. Celeste was effervescent when describing the wonders within the book titles, and was generous in offering a copy of the last of James's books, published posthumously, as well as another compilation whose title had caught my eye.

By the time I left the house, I had been introduced to the house and his previous occupants in a very unique and special way. Celeste is not only a Realtor, but someone who represents her clients with grace and offers a special insight. She is skilled in engaging with potential buyers and”

“A Truly Exceptional Real Estate Experience with Natalie Pinkerton

Working with Natalie Pinkerton of David Lyng Real Estate was, without question, one of the best decisions we made in our home-selling journey. From the very first meeting, Natalie demonstrated a level of professionalism, market knowledge, and genuine care that gave us total confidence in the process ahead.

Natalie guided us step-by-step through evaluating the market and preparing to list our home. She provided thorough sales comps and explained local market dynamics in a way that made it easy for us to make informed decisions about pricing and timing. Her insight was spot-on, and it set the foundation for a successful sale.

When it came to preparing the home, Natalie was an incredible resource. She offered excellent recommendations for contractors, cleaners, and service providers, all of whom were reliable, reasonably priced, and delivered quality work. Her eye for what improvements would truly matter—and what wouldn’t—saved us both time and money. Thanks to her guidance, the house looked beautiful and market-ready without unnecessary stress.

Throughout the entire process, Natalie was organized, communicative, and always one step ahead. She kept us updated at every stage and ensured everything moved forward smoothly. When it came time to list, her strategy and negotiation skills led to a wonderful outcome—far exceeding our expectations.

What truly stood out was Natalie’s value beyond the logistics. She consistently acted as an advocate, advisor, and calm presence. We always felt she had our best interests at heart, and her dedication turned what could have been a daunting process into an incredibly positive experience.

We are deeply grateful for everything she did for us. Natalie is an exceptional agent and partner, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to sell their home with confidence and great results.”

“I have been working as a home stager and presale design consultant with Kasey and Brook for a few years on most of their listings. They are both personable and knowledgeable about all things real estate. They always want to help clients put their best foot forward when presenting their homes for sale. They have access to the best professionals (contractors, landscapers, photographers, stagers, painters, house cleaners, organizers, etc.) to pull off what it takes to sell quickly for top dollar. They work very hard to carry some of the stresses that go with selling a home. I know they are doing a great job from their top producing results, their love of their work and also because I see happy clients, as well as repeat clients and many referrals. I would not hesitate to hire Kasey and Brook for your real estate needs.”

“Trustworthy realtors not an oxymoron!We had been through a few others realtors including some considered "top sellers" and we had to do all the leg work, and didn't trust them. Once we hired Brandi and Jason it was obvious they weren't just going after the sale. We literally felt like their only clients They did talk us out of a few homes--we are so glad they did! Even once in contract on one home, we learned upsetting news, and Brandi didn't blink and assured me this was not our house. When we were out of town, Jason video toured homes for us and we never felt like we would miss a beat. Jason's knowledge of building was invaluable like we had an inspector built in on our side. We are sure we would not be living in our dream home, beyond our wildest dreams, had it not been for them. Our home was more complicated, and not a home we imagined would be possible, and they managed various other professionals for us that we needed to make the purchase happen. Far above and beyond! Thank you!”

“Deborah is not only one of the best realtors you'll find in the Santa Cruz area, but she's also a genuinely kind and gracious person. I highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She's always available to answer any questions you might have, or to go over a document that might seem complicated to us non real estate folk. She also has a deep knowledge of the market that is extremely important in today's house shopping bonanza. We went into the process thinking it would be painful to shop for a home, but Deborah made the process not only pain-free but also quite fun. We're now happy and settled in our new home.”

“I spent several days resolving a difficult real-estate issue with Rick Miritz. Rick's knowledge of real estate documents and clear style of explaining them turned a possible upset into a non-issue. Rick is someone I trust and is a consummate professional.”

“A very reliable and highly skilled team. Special thanks to Marilyn for her friendly and professional support. She structured the complex and (in parts stressful) process understandable and help along the way with great expertise. Highly recommended for a successful house-hunting experience”

“Eli was an absolute pleasure to work with kind, positive, and just all-around great energy. Even after I decided to go in a different direction, he remained gracious and upbeat. That kind of attitude says everything about his professionalism and character. Couldn’t recommend him enough.”

“Liliane is a wonderful and charming woman. She takes great pride in their properties and they have an amazing selection of vacation and regular rental properties. They are very knowledgable and helped us understand the process better than we had before. Love them.”

“Suzie Joseph was the absolute best realtor! Getting our offer accepted was no small feat and Suzie made it happen for us - she is a rockstar. From submitting our offer, through escrow and closing, she guided us, comforted us, and always advocated for us. Forever grateful to Suzie for all her hard work getting us into our dream home. THANK YOU!!!”
