What Clients Say About Working With Walter

“We were lucky to connect with Walter, who did a fantastic job for us. His calm polite demeanor helped us in dealing with a difficult seller, who was also the selling realtor. We looked at houses all over the Santa Cruz Mountain area for about 6 months, came close on a couple, and then finally nailed one that fit us. Walter was there for us every step of the way with great suggestions, always willing to meet and show. He has great knowledge of the area, the market, and the home types. He was good at advising us on homes he thought might have problems, and bringing us to homes that fit our needs.”

“He was always very courteous, helpful, efficient and friendly in all of our dealings with him. We were very happy with the timeliness and results of our sale. Things went much faster than we could have hoped, with a price as good as we could have hoped for.”

“Walter helped me with a 1031 exchange so I know him as both a buyer’s and a seller’s agent. In both roles he was amazing! He not only understands the local market, but also is well-connected with a network of professionals (inspections, repairs, staging, financing, insurance). Most importantly, he is honest, thoughtful, reliable, and dedicated to meeting his client’s goals.”

“He knows the Santa Cruz area like only a native son could. He jumped through hoops for us, got us connected with the right mortgage broker for our complex needs, and has stayed in touch as the months have passed to check in on our upgrades.”

“Walter was very instrumental in the purchases of our rental properties. No high pressure and always kept our best interest first and foremost.”

“We chose to work with Walter because we appreciated his professional yet approachable personality. He was upfront, clear, and he offered professional opinions while listening to our requests. We were quite specific in the type of contract we were looking for and we could not have been happier with the contract Walter negotiated for us. It happened within the first week our house was on the market.”

“Walter was so dedicated and available that I felt like his only client, although I wasn’t by a long shot. As I began searching, it was clear he has an exceptional reputation in the community among fellow Realtors. Numerous agents who asked me if I needed their services told me I was in good hands when they learned Walter was my agent. His reputation helped when I finally bought my home. I got into a competitive bid on a townhouse and Walter’s expertise, advice, and incredible responsiveness enabled me to secure the home.”

“Walter represented us as the buying agent for both our previous house and our current house. We liked him so much from the first experience that we went back to him once we were looking to move to a larger place as our needs grew. He was very patient with us during a protracted home search, and helped us refine our criteria. He has extensive knowledge of the area and experience with the market. He really listened to us, and when we provided feedback after seeing a place, he would use that to develop a running set of criteria to help hone in on the right place. Even after he found the right place, he continued to be invaluable during the offer, disclosures, inspection, lending, title, escrow, and walk-through process.”

“I had champagne tastes and a small budget but throughout the process Walter was wise and patient. Walter has a seasoned knowledge of the real estate market and can easily advise and negotiate smart outcomes for any buyer. He advised me on purchase price and clearly laid out the different scenarios I could choose to win the sale. It was fairly effortless and no drama. It’s already a gigantic internal drama to buy property so having a low drama sale is crucial. Now I just need more of my friends to move into my new neighborhood!”

“Walter found a great home that fit many of my key criteria before it even hit the MLS. This gave me a huge advantage in finding my dream home for a surprisingly reasonable price. My home search took just over a month, much faster than I’d hoped.”

“Walter’s attention to detail, ability to handle complex issues, and pleasant demeanor in dealing with both buyer and seller are unmatched. Walter helped us with both the sale of our home and the immediate purchase of another. At all stages, preparing and listing our house, and in tricky negotiations with the seller of the house we now own, Walter was attentive, knowledgeable, and prepared. Though situations like this can be highly stressful, Walter was a calm and steady presence through it all. We had confidence in his advice and guidance, and in both transactions, it paid off.”
