Mario was an absolute pleasure to work with; he was a go-getter from the start of meeting him. This man loves to serve his clients! He didn't flinch or hesitate once when it came to house hunting with me in my purchase. He reached out to me to bring me in under his care and from the moment he took me on as a client, his hard working and over-time approach never ended; he was beyond communicative and responsive. His local knowledge of the area surely was a major factor in guiding my purchase as well. I look forward to working with him again and certainly would recommend him to anyone else interested. Cheers to you, Mario! I'm in love with my new place. Ciao!

I had the privilege of working with both Mario Desantis and Jose Salas on my recent home purchase in Felton, CA. After watching the market, summer 2025 was the time to jump in, and Mario and Jose made the process smooth. With great communication, they let me search for a house at my own pace, and were both proactive about sending me properties in my price range throughout as well. They were great at making the process happen once we found the right house, and were able to negotiate and work with all the different people involved (inspections, mortgage broker, insurance, etc) and help me, a newbie first time home buyer!! I would recommend them both to anyone, especially to a new home buyer!

Mario is greatest person and realtor I ever met. We were facing front of different kind of problems and questions. But thanks to Mario’s professionalism and his very positive attitude we were lucky to get all the best. Mario was always available by phone. Always very quick responses. Always positive and efficient. Highly professional all the time. I know it wasn’t easy to work with my and my caprices, but he was always on the top. Three days back we have got the keys from our dream house. We are happy. Mario, Bravo!!!

Mario is the best! We sold our old home and bought a new one simultaneously and we could not have survived the process without his amazing guidance and positivity. He works tirelessly and is always available for any questions, big or small, and has a solution for every obstacle. He literally worked miracles to accomplish our house sale in a time crunch. Excellent marketing, excellent communication, excellent realtor. 10/10!

Mario and his team are the best! We were able to get everything we wanted and more and we couldn’t have done it without their help. They worked so hard for us at every turn, any time of day or night, weekends, etc. We are blown away with how smooth the entire process was and recommend anyone looking for their dream home to work with them! Some anecdotes I want to share is just how thoughtful their entire team is, always going above expectations and adding a personal touch to every interaction and big moment. Truly the best experience we could have asked for!

From start to finish in both selling our old house, and buying our new home, Mario and his team were helpful, knowledgeable, and accessible the whole way through. He made the process easy, and helped reduce so much of the stress that can be involved in the home buying process.

Mario was so helpful throughout the past THREE years of searching for first home!! We took our sweet time to find our dream home and he was so patient, informative, and basically on-call no matter the circumstance. Weekends, evenings, even while on vacation across the world he answered our (several) questions promptly and landed us our absolute GEM of a home. We are so grateful. Thank you, Mario!!

Thank you, Mario for helping us find our dream home. We couldn’t have gotten our keys without you.

Thanks Mario. Without you we would have never found our forever home. Trying to help 3 generations of women with different wants took a lot of your patience but you did it

Words can not express the gratitude I have for Mario Desantis and his amazing team, Hunter Corbin, and Stone Castro. They were available 24/7; Mario was there to answer my 1AM texts with forgotten questions. He literally held my had through all the inspections, explaining everything to me with detail. It was a long journey from the 1st house we looked to our now new home. Thank you again Mario, Stone and Hunter.

Mario was a pleasure to work with in buying my first home. He is very positive and knowledgeable which was extremely reassuring when I was navigating the complex world of real-estate for the first time! I met him at an open house when I was only beginning to dip my toes in the home buying process. In that first meeting, he took the time to explain the entire home-buying process in a very matter-of-fact and approachable way. From that moment, I had a strong feeling he would be the realtor I wanted to work with because he was very professional yet personable. Mario worked very hard and was always extremely responsive at all hours of the day. He also has a great network of people he works with so any time I needed a referral or recommendation, he had people he could reach out to immediately. This proved helpful when an insurance provider fell through towards the end of escrow, and Mario was able to connect me with someone else immediately to keep the closing process going. I can't recommend Mario enough! He and his team are a huge part of why I am a home owner in Santa Cruz!

Mario did a wonderful jobs selling our home in Aptos Ca. He put a lot of energy in finding a buyer for the property and keeping us informed through the process in selling a home in the area. Mario took the time to answer our questions and he knows the real estate market in the area extremely well. After the sale was complete and we had moved to another city he called to see if we had settled in and if the move went as planned. If you are thinking of buying or selling a property in the area you should consider give Mario Desantis a call he will do a great job.
