Seller of 3498 Soquel San Jose Road, Soquel
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!

Review of Mario Desantis , Real Estate Agent When you decide to develop a working relationship with someone, especially in an area that is not your expertise, you need to ask someone that you trust for a recommendation. This is what I did when I decided to sell my home on the beach. I spoke to a former mortgage broker that had assisted me in the past with refinancing and she recommended; Mario DeSantis. I had no idea at the time of the quality of product and services he would be bringing into the effort of marketing , advising and just the wealth of talent to back up his business. I was stunned at the quality of professionalism and yet friendliness, exhibiting a real sense of wanting the best for US, as I too saw this business arrangement; a team effort. His Real Estate Agency was able to sell my home quickly and at a price that I was very happy with attaining. I recommend Mario Desantis highly and and without any hesitation. If you want a quality product, service and experience that is what his company brings to you at the highest level. Fred L. Castillo

Teresa Marlow is an excellent agent. She is knowledgeable, thorough, with great communication skills, and has very high standards for herself and for all of the contacts that she has that move a project along from start to finish. She works tirelessly to ensure that her client is involved with all of the decision making of the process and is aware of and shares all the pertinent information needed to make informed decisions. Teresa is personable, friendly, and appreciative of all the people she works with and she dedicates an enormous amount of time and energy to make sure that her clients are happy with the final outcome. I am very impressed with her integrity, persistence, attention to detail, and work ethic. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone needing to sell or buy a home. She helped me to sell my home and she will be my agent again as I search for a new place to live.
Seller of 13/4160 Jade Street, Capitola
Teresa Marlow is not your ordinary real estate agent, and we wanted to take a moment to share our experience. We were referred to Teresa when we found ourselves facing the difficult task of cleaning out and selling our aging parents’ home while living out of state. What could have been an overwhelming and emotional process became so much more manageable because of Teresa. She always made time for us, kept us informed, and went above and beyond to arrange and coordinate the services needed to get the home ready to sell. From helping us navigate the unexpected details to connecting us with reliable people who could get the job done, Teresa was there every step of the way. What stood out most was that she made us feel like family. She treated our situation with genuine care, compassion, and understanding—not simply as another real estate transaction. Teresa made a very difficult situation feel seamless, and we will always be grateful for everything she did for our family. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who truly cares about her clients and is willing to go the extra mile, we cannot recommend Teresa highly enough.

Connie came highly recommended by a friend of ours. She was equipped with a wealth of advice, answers to all our questions, and local contacts for inspections/services/etc. She made the process easy and pushed the sellers, lenders, and title co. to provide info until we got to the finish line and even closed early!
