We were looking for a rental property for a 1031 exchange. Nico was very professional, patient and helpful. He understood what we were looking for and the short time frame we had to find a property and then close on it. Due to the crazy housing market and our initial decision to look in two different locations about 100 miles apart he provided lots of information from local realtors, checked with city and county planning departments for rental rules on the many properties we asked him to review for us. Hi s attention to detail was excellent as was his follow through. He made the craziness of a low inventory market seem easy to navigate.He understood the challenges and opportunities from an investors perspective in a very competitive and fast market. He was right on top of any new listings and got us in to see them ASAP.He showed us existing rental houses and duplexes in several market places and everything else we asked him to show us. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Santa Cruz County and Monterey County areas having been raised in these areas.He found the right property for us and he continued to assist us through the final inspections and renter search.We highly recommend Nico whether you are buying or selling to first-time buyers as well as to seasoned investors.

We had a unique estate property to sell with 3 owners. DeeDee Vargas recognized it would be a tough job to find the right buyer but she was not put off. She used all of her knowledge of the area, long experience in real estate & her special talent, sheer determination, to find that special buyer & close the sale of our home. DeeDee advised us on the best approach to prepare & sell our property. Once it was ready, she provided a beautiful picture portfolio of our home & property. She manned the open houses, juggled realtors, clients & left no stone unturned to find our buyer. DeeDee is a great negotiator & was able to get us the price we wanted. During the escrow process, we had so many delays. DeeDee was steady. She kept the faith & guided us all to the finish line.Did I mention? Not only is DeeDee a talented realtor but she is a wonderful person. That's why clients want to work with her & she is able to maintain so many valuable connections in the real estate world.Deedee has a generous heart. She cares about our community. She didn't waste any time when the Corona Virus hit. DeeDee & a friend organized donations & got to work supplying groceries & later sewed masks for those in need.

It was a lucky accident that I met Deedee Vargas. I responded to an ad for Watsonville housing on the internet, and Deedee called me back. Her warm manner, obvious expertise, experience in my market, and enthusiastic support of my as yet unformed project was very helpful for me. She was patient, attentive, never dropped a detail, helped me track mine, and answered my many questions. If she did not know the answer, she brought in a third party, such as an inspector, who did have the answer in an immediate conference call. Deedee Vargas was flexible, responsive and responsible. I had a team partner. I fully recommend her, and will refer my friends who have interest in the housing market to her.

At Thanksgiving-time 2018, my brother, sister, and I decided it was time to put our deceased mothers home in Watsonville up for sale. Because it was a unique property, with an historic schoolhouse in the backyard, we embarked upon our quest to find the best realtor in the area. As my sister and I lived on the East Coast, our cousin, a broker from Fresno, stepped up and assisted us in our search. aEURoeHands down,aEUR? she reported, aEURoethere is no one in the Santa Cruz area who can compare with Aptos realtor Dee Dee Vargas professionalism, work ethic, and drive. She demonstrates compassion for clients and their needs, going above and beyond to provide them with exemplary service.aEUR? Our brother, who lived in Watsonville, was impressed with Dee Dee and hired her on the spot.As we readied the home for sale, Dee Dee was a constant and reassuring support to our family with her recommendations of contractors and her associations with top-rated professionals who would be able to assist with the clean up. I was always impressed with her thorough knowledge of California real estate laws and procedures, her loan and title company expertise, her connections with all the right people to get the job done efficiently, her mentoring of her son in the real estate profession, but, most importantly, her work ethic. Dee Dee always gives 110 percent to the task at hand. She gets things done, the right way, with the right people. She will not rest until potential problems are resolved. I appreciated her frequent texts and conference calls so that we could discuss every aspect of the process of readying the house and property for sale. Dee Dee directs clients along the correct path, but allows them to make important decisions themselves. When situations became stressful, Dee Dee was always there to reassure us, often aEURoehypothetically holding our hands,aEUR? reassuring us all that selling the family home can, at times, be stressful but it can be done. Expecting all those involved in the sale of our home to be as aEURoehigh octaneaEUR? as she was, I was appreciative that Dee Dee would contact all players in the sale, loan agents, title companies, banks, contractors to step up their games, giving them a subtle kick in the rear if they started to lag, to work a little harder and faster and meet the deadlines we expected them to meet. It worked and the sale of our mothers home is now complete and our tireless Energizer Bunny Realtor is now off to the spa!Dee Dee created an amazing team and it took everyones input and cooperation to make it across the aEURoehome soldaEUR? finish line. I am overjoyed to report we made it yesterday. I dont know of any realtor who would have dedicated more than a year of her life to bring the toughest property to sell on the market to appreciative new owners. Only the toughest most dedicated realtor could have moved this sale to fruition. We definitely had the best realtor around and my family wholeheartedly recommends Dee Dee Vargas for anyone desiring exceptional real estate service in the Santa Cruz area.

Working with Nico actually made me enjoy the process of selling my condo. I learned a lot due to always being informed and kept in the loop of every stage and possible scenario or outcome. Even though uncontrollable bumps were encountered during negotiation, inspection, and appraisal, Nico was able to pull through each hurdle with ease. After signing the final document I knew I got the best deal possible and it was actually fun. Need a realtor, Nico is your guy.
