We recently purchased a home in Prunedale and the experience was exceptional. We first met Cal when we were considering buying a home, and he represented the seller. We were so impressed that when we decided to buy a different home, we asked him to represent us. He's that impressive. Cal had an in-depth knowledge of the local market, guiding us through each step with professionalism and extraordinary responsiveness. We'd often get texts from him early in the morning, or late at night, answering questions, recommending next steps or just reassuring us. The communication was outstanding, making the process smooth and stress-free, despite the inevitable bumps in the road. Something would pop up, and Cal would simply ... handle it. He's also friendly and cheerful, and a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. Five stars.

If you are looking for a "johnny on the spot" attitude, look no further. Cal is relentless on negotiating with the other agents. He will get you into contract on mutually favorable terms. He handled adversity well and will close quickly for all involved. Working with Cal has been an absolute pleasure. His professionalism and attention to detail have made the process seamless from a lender's perspective. His prompt communication and thorough understanding of the client's needs have greatly contributed to successful and smooth transactions. It's a joy to collaborate with a realtor of his caliber. Looking forward to more successful partnerships!

Excellent working with Caleb. Very personable, kind and peaceful. Would recommend Caleb without hesitation. He helped us buy a home in Scotts Valley, CA. We made offers on several homes with no results. So we tried again and finally something happened. We then went through the buying process which again, was very challenging. And with patience and determination we have finally closed on our new home. Caleb saw us through it all. So many thanks to him and his team. We look forward to working with him and his team selling our current home. Five star rating all the way. Many thanks.

Daniel did an amazing job helping us to find our dream house. He was super sweet and professional. He was always available to answer our questions and overcome our concerns. He's the best when it comes to make a competitive offers. Daniel also helped us to find a good lender. I definitely recommend working with him, especially if you're always worried (like me). Daniel will make it happen.

We worked with Rose Wood on the recent purchase of our home in the lower westside neighborhood of Santa Cruz. For those of you in the Santa Cruz housing market, you know that supply is limited and much patience is required. She stuck with us for 1.5 years of house hunting, multiple offers, and much learning as new home buyers. Throughout it all, Rose treated us with the utmost care, patience, and support. She was trustworthy, transparent, thoughtful, highly skilled, deeply knowledgable, and the perfect fit for us. We always felt that Rose had our best interests at heart and was an amazing advocate and teammate throughout. As first time home buyers, Rose would answer every question we had, no matter how big or small. She is incredibly good with people and also incredibly smart and gifted at her job. If we ever texted Rose with a question, she'd promptly respond with a phone call to make sure the question was answered and that we understood all the angles. If we wanted to see a house, she'd show up in-person to walk through it with us and in the rare event she was unavailable, she'd make sure we were very well cared for. Every listing agent we met would ask, "who's your realtor?" and when we'd say we work with Rose, they'd all look impressed and say, "oh, Rose is the best!" I'm embarrassed to admit, but we actually felt an undeserved pride just in our association with Rose, like we had won the realtor lottery. We know Rose has other clients, many of which were probably "bigger fish" than us, and yet, Rose always made us feel like we were the most important ones to her. When we finally found the right home, Rose deftly navigated the behind the scenes conversations inherent to hot homes with multiple offers and got us across the finish line in first place. After we closed, the listing agent even wrote us to say, and we quote, "Hats off to your realtor. Rose is top-notch, you picked a good one." We could go on and on about Rose, but suffice to say that we loved working with her, and would rate her 11 out of 10 if that was possible. We could not have hoped for a better experience with a realtor and if we ever are in the market again, Rose will be our first call.

I've been a part of roughly a dozen real estate transactions over the years and have worked with a number of agents and brokers. Daniel Fitch and the Strock team, hands down, have the most customer service, creative thinking based approach I've ever seen. Daniel Fitch is a particular joy to work with. He's energetic, dedicated, and has the ability to communicate clearly. His knack for finding middle ground is of particular value when negotiating transactions and I really appreciate his win-win approach to working with people. You can definitely tell that he's in it for long-term relationships rather than a quick and dirty transaction and that's the type of person I want on my team when patience and perseverance are often needed. Kudos to the Daniel Fitch for his commitment to excellence in the field. I look forward to working with you again on our next real estate transaction.

Being a first time buyer is scary. You hear all the horror stories from friends and family about the pain and stress involved in finding a home and then going through the loan process, but we seriously lucked out with Daniel Fitch. Talk about someone who really works for you and does whatever it takes to find you the right home without pressure or wasting your time. We knew a year in advance that we would be relocating to Monterey County (Salinas area) and met Daniel at an open house. While we had previously spoken with a realtor, that person was not motivated to work with us as it was not going to be profitable in the near future for her. Daniel continued to keep in touch and check in from time to time and once we were ready, he went straight to work. It was a great pleasure working with him EVERY step of the way and he never dropped the ball on any issue or detail that needed to be addressed. He would even check in while on vacation if there was a pending issue. In addition, he recommended the best mortgage loan originator. There are no words to adequately describe our gratitude to Daniel for all his hard work and support during our home purchase process. I fully recommend Daniel to anyone in need of a realtor in the Monterey or Santa Cruz counties.

Matt was awesome!! He went "the extra mileSSS" for us! Always responsive, available, knowledgeable, professional, great character, and great person skills! He helped us beat 10 other offers on the house we bought! He went through the whole process with us, step by step, until its successful culmination; and clarified to us, very well, every step of the process. Thank God we found Matt!!! Victor & Monica

Cal did a great job listening to our needs and showing us the right properties. He was attentive and very communicative. His local knowledge of the products was exceptional as it was with the process. I would definitely work with Cal again and recommend him.
