About Ace Estess

My name is Ace Estess. I am a real estate agent and the founder of Dream Catch Properties in Capitola Village, an innovative real estate company founded on the principals of community development and giving back. Check me out online at: www.DreamCatchProperties.com For my SELLERS, I provide world-class marketing services to get you top dollar for your property, including: 3-D virtual tours, custom property websites, drone videography, professional photography, and more. In fact, I am proud to have recently listed and sold a home that set a record for the highest price per square foot sale in the history of Santa Cruz! For my BUYERS, I will pound the pavement in order to find your ideal property, often before it ever even hits the market. I maintain a comprehensive list of "pocket listings" and my expansive network enables me to open doors for clients on all sides of the property equation. I understand economics and a solid investment strategy. With a business degree from one of the top ten public universities in the nation, I understand the importance of timing, valuation, and local market conditions when it comes to real estate and sales and acquisition. I learned how to negotiate from the best. I worked alongside the Negotiations Professor from Stanford Law School, and I bring this competitive advantage to the bargaining table. I am a dynamic problem solver and seeker of knowledge. I love nothing more than a new challenge. If I don't know the answer to a question, I'll find it! I have construction and design expertise. As co-founder of Collins Coastal Plumbing, Inc., I have a strong understanding of the building and remodeling process. Combined with my eye for design, I can suggest simple yet effective improvements to transform your property. I am a bulldog- in a good way. My french bulldog is my spirit animal- loyal, quirky, dedicated, confident and tenacious. I am as local as they come. I am a second generation Realtor(R) and seventh generation Santa Cruz local. I grew up driving around to open houses all over town, and you wont find someone that knows Santa Cruz County from stem to stern better than I do.

Ace is an incredible realtor! We were first time home buyers and Ace guided us from finding our dream home to walking us through the buying process. She made the process so easy and efficient for us. Shes very responsive and was always available to answer our many questions (as it was our first time). We were impressed by how quickly she set up tours at homes we were interested in and how well connected she is in Santa Cruz to be able to show us homes before they were even on the market. We highly recommend Ace to help you find your dream home!

Ace is an excellent buyer's agent. A Ace and her team worked with us for about 2 years in a very challenging market for our first home purchase. A We investigated many properties and made a number of offers until we finally found the right property at the right price. A Ace's diligence is amazing and her follow up is outstanding. A Even with unexpected blips and roadblocks (from the Seller's side) Ace is calm, creative and thinks outside of the box to move the deal forward. A I understand that Ace is also an excellent Seller's Agent, too. A We highly recommend Ace as an outstanding Agent for both purchasing and selling property. A Ace is a wonderful resource to help catch the property of your dreams ~. Happy New Homeowners ~

From the start of the process all the way through the sale of my property I cant say enough good things about Ace. Everything from drafting up the ad and developing a marketing strategy to her immediate responses to calls, questions and texts. The whole process was pretty stress free and right after listing the property she found multiple potential buyers and I was able to make very quickly.

I am a retiree and Ace sold my property for the highest value in that area. We worked closely to set out what were my requirements and needs. She took the time to research the home sales in the area and helped me to set the right price. I had not sold a home in many years. She was helpful in explaining to me the new procedures, her advertising strategy, and how to prepare my home for sale. Her local knowledge of the area and contacts helped me find good contractors to get the home ready. The photos of the home were appealing and artfully prepared. When it came to time to negotiate the sale she went over the buyers requests in detail and aided me in resolving the deal that worked for both me and the buyer. I recommended her to all my friends and family. Shell give you her fullest attention, like she did for me. Shes the best Real Estate Agent Ive ever worked with.
