I was connected with Katie through Zillow after inquiring about a home in Aptos, and I’m so glad I was! She responded almost immediately to set up a tour and was incredibly proactive from the start. When I mentioned I’d be coming over the hill to view a few homes, she not only arranged showings for the ones I was interested in but also lined up several others that matched what I was looking for. We ended up touring about six homes in one day—and I fell in love with the very first one. Katie went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Since I don’t live nearby, she helped with everything from taking photos for insurance quotes to coordinating inspections and getting quotes for work that needed to be done. She made the entire experience smooth and stress-free! I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Katie is responsive, knowledgeable, and truly goes the extra mile. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the area!

Rose helped us to sell our Aptos home. She was such a pleasure to work with every step of the way. She was readily available whenever we had a question or concern. She has a good understanding of the market and knew how to best showcase our unique property which resulted in a quick sale with multiple offers. We felt very confident and comfortable with her collaborative approach as she calmly guided us through the entire process. She truly cares about the seller and the buyer and seeks to make it a good fit for both. We highly recommend Rose if you are looking for an agent to purchase or sell a home in Santa Cruz or surrounding areas.

I have been on many house hunting expeditions with Marie. The quality that stands out the most is her ability to notice the tiniest details, whether positive or negative. Her attention to detail is amazing and she has great taste! She will not steer you wrong and her hard work and responsiveness will find you the perfect house. I highly recommend working with Marie in your house hunting journey.

Katie was truly amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she was always honest, patient, and really took the time to make sure we understood everything. She went above and beyond in ways we never expected — she even waived her own commission and negotiated a huge credit for us just to help make this house work for our budget. Throughout the entire process, Katie kept us informed, answered every question (no matter how small), and never once made us feel pressured. We always felt like she genuinely cared about us and wanted what was best for our family. Even after closing, she continued to check in and help us with little things that popped up. We’re so grateful to have had her on our side. If you’re looking for an agent who will fight for you, keep you grounded, and treat you like family, Katie is it.

Exceptional Agent! Although we ultimately decided not to move forward with purchasing a home at this time due to changes in our personal circumstances, we wanted to share how truly exceptional our experience was working with Marie. From the very beginning, she impressed us with her professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and genuine commitment to understanding our needs. Marie was patient, never pushy, and always made us feel like we were in control of the process. Every showing was well thought out, every question answered thoroughly, and every conversation left us feeling informed and supported. What stood out most was her integrity and care. Even when it became clear we might need to pause our search, Marie continued to offer guidance and encouragement without any pressure. It’s rare to find someone so good at what they do who also leads with empathy and respect. We’re grateful for everything Marie did for us during this process and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again when the time is right. If you’re looking for an agent who is not only knowledgeable and hardworking but also kind, honest, and truly client-focused—look no further.
