"Gretchen helped us buy a rental property in Santa Cruz a little over a year ago. She guided us expertly through the process, and was a very tough negotiator on our behalf. But it gets better! When the home was ours, and we needed help getting it rented, she connected us with a rental management company and kept an eye on things as we negotiated finding good tenants. When a moratorium on short term rentals was enacted, she helped us negotiate that. And when the rental inspector came knocking on our door, she also supported us with that. She is smart, gutsy, appropriately aggressive, and easy to work with. My husband and I highly recommend her!"

"Gretchen is a Realtor® with so much experience in Santa Cruz that is seems she literally knows everyone. She has the networks that can help you bring a team together for purchase inspections and setting your remodeling vision. We bought from a seller in foreclosure and at points were getting erratic replies from the seller. Gretchen and her team managed a tough sale to get the job done when 96% of Realtors® would not have had the calm and persistence to finish it. We had a three month sales cycle and are so glad she did all of the heavy lifting for our home purchase. We feel like each second home is a little slice of heaven and unique. We felt we were meant to own it but weren’t going to end up with it without her calm and thorough sales expertise. Gretchen is a trusted advisor and her experience translates into having design ideas for renovation from past homes she’s sold. We saw the brilliant potential that was missed by the selling agent. We would recommend Gretchen to our friends and use her again if we buy or sell in Santa Cruz."
