Mario Desantis

I highly recommend Mario and his team for anyone buying or selling a home. He strikes the perfect balance of being personal and professional — you feel like a priority, not just a transaction. Whenever issues came up during the process, he was quick to jump in and help resolve them. He’s also a great team player, coordinating smoothly with everyone involved in the deal. Most importantly, he gets results — he knows how to get the deal done. Highly recommend if you want an agent who’s both easy to work with and effective

To whom it may concern; We have had the unique experience of being represented by Mario both as a buyer and as a seller. Residing in our Monterey County home for almost 30 years, we were not actively looking to move. But the only constant in life is change. We casually talked about what we could do to our home to improve it even more. We even considered exploring areas outside of our comfort zone. Over the past several years we even attended dozens of local open houses throughout Santa Cruz County and the surrounding areas. One day a spectacular home in Day Valley presented itself. We went and realized this was going to be our new home. Mario is not a "yes man"; he is in fact a "can do" man. When considering likely the largest investment you will ever make, you want a professional; not an acquaintance with a realtor license. Mario is focused as a raptor and as transparent as a hillside stream. Consistent, but not rushing. Deliberate and invested as if it were his own decision. That's rare. Several months later, now living in our home, we are truly thankful to Mario for largely making our new home a reality. When you're selling your home, it's personal. But the bottom line is the location and neighborhood. Mario and his team assimilated a broad marketing campaign which showcased and trumpeted all of the features of our little slice of heaven. He went as far as connecting us with contractors and home stagers to make our home the best it possibly could be. He even coordinated inspections and appraisals. There were no surprises left to chance. His team held many open houses and welcomed several dozen groups to see our home in person. In the end we capitalized on buyers that fell in love with our home and will likely love it as is and make their own memories there. Mario's signature action has to be his consistent positive attitude; and open communication throughout the process. When someone loves what they do like Mario clearly does, the results speak for themselves.

We have known Mario for more than three years, and throughout that time he has never pressured us into making a decision. We were very detail-oriented and sometimes took a long time to choose the right home, but Mario was always patient, understanding, and supportive. What we appreciated most was his honesty and integrity. He doesn’t treat you like just another client. Instead, he gives advice as if he were buying the home himself, always looking out for your best interests. His guidance was sincere, thoughtful, and never focused on making a quick sale. We are truly grateful for his professionalism, patience, and friendship throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Mario to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable realtor. Thank you, Mario! 😊🏡

Mario and team were exceptionally thoughtful, caring, and attentive throughout our house sale. He was always available to explain steps, work with buyers, and kept everything moving smoothly. A+!

My Mom used Desantis to sell our family home of 60 years. She managed it entirely on her own with Mario. He helped her set the price and find the right buyer. it was most important that her legacy property went to a family and not a developer. She couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mario had a style that worked well for my Mom. She was extremely happy with the process. She would highly recommend Mario to any prospective buyer or seller.

Mario and team listed our property, they took excellent pictures and held open houses. The property was under contract in less than a week. Excellent work I highly recommend Mario!
