100 real estate agents in Santa Cruz

John Flanikan and his team are without a doubt as good as they get when it comes to buying and selling homes. John was first recommended to my wife and I 8 years ago, and since seamlessly guided us through two purchases (in 2011 and 2020) and one sell (in 2015). John and his team are extremely knowledge in local (Santa Cruz) real estate market trends and changing housing guidelines, and provided us on numerous occasions with important information that steered our buying and selling decisions. This included insights into challenges we would have encounter in the renovation of several properties we were considering, as well as local ordinance changes impacting ADUs and hence the value of three homes we considered. This type of knowledge can only come from local real estate experts like John and is worth its weight in gold. John and his team are also whizes when it comes to structing and/or evaluating offers. They know the right levers to push and pull with offer generation and acceptance, and utilized this know-how to structured two deals for us that resulted in minimal closing cost on our end. This was important for us because we wanted to preserve cash for remodels. He and his team also helped us sift through offers on our own home and select the right one that met our needs, which at the time was a fast and low risk close. My wife and I now have several close friends who are relators in Satan Cruz, but we won’t even consider working with any other than John and his team because they are that good.
